Japan Is Giving Away Abandoned Houses for Free

Today, the prices for real estate are really scary. So for most people, owning a beautiful house sounds like a nightmare in the form of “mortgage”! But if you head to Japan (and some other countries too, the US included!), you could become a happy homeowner absolutely free of charge!

SUMMARY:
– The Japanese government has over 8 million properties throughout the country that they’re willing to either sell or give away for free!
– In fact, according to The Japan Times, 1 in 10 houses in or on the outskirts of the country’s huge capital city Tokyo is empty.
– Japan has a quickly ageing population: a lot of people are either passing away or moving into retirement homes, leaving their houses empty.
– Japanese are rather superstitious and don’t wanna live in houses with a sad history. No one is willing to buy homes where there was a tragedy or someone died.
– If you don’t have too much cash to spare, note that you can buy an abandoned house in Ollolai, Sardinia for as low as $1.25.
– The long-term goal here is to bring life and tourists back to those areas that are currently dying out.
– You can choose from hundreds of cute little villages in the northwest region of Galicia for a pretty affordable average asking price of $100,000.
– A lot of the prospective buyers are families that emigrated from Spain in the ‘60s and would like to go back to their roots and just enjoy the relaxing peaceful country life.
– When you get bored with civilization and wanna experience some island paradise, head to Pitcairn. The weather’s always nice, and you’ll only have about 50 neighbors on the whole island!
– Aspiring farmers are welcome to get their land in Crown Lands, Yukon. The condition here is that you have to be a Canadian citizen and a resident of Yukon for at least 2 years.
– From Kansas to Alaska, there are areas where you can get a plot of land or even a house for free or close to nothing. Some of them are being given away by the government in hopes of finding people to sponsor renovation and maintenance of an abandoned home.
