Survey on the Possibility of Properties That Cannot Be Rebuilt as Investment Targets
While properties that cannot be rebuilt are inexpensive and can aim for high returns, they are real estate with high investment risks due to the impossibility of rebuilding and difficulty in selling.
Specialized know-how is indispensable for their operation, but information such as "can it really generate profit?" and "who should I consult?" is scarce, and many people struggle with deciding whether to invest in them.
Therefore, Fudosan Kaitori Center, a real estate problem-solving website operated by Dream Planning Co., Ltd. (Naka-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture / Representative Director: Takato Takahashi), conducted a survey targeting individuals interested in real estate (valid responses: 289 people) on "whether properties that cannot be rebuilt can be considered as investment targets."

Can properties that cannot be rebuilt be considered as investment targets?
First, when asked "can properties that cannot be rebuilt be considered as investment targets?", a majority of 84.4% answered "cannot consider."
On the other hand, the positive group who answered "can consider" remained at 30 cases (10.4%), about 10% of the total, and even when combined with the undecided group of 15 cases (5.2%), it became clear that a cautious stance is predominant.
From this result, it is understood that properties that cannot be rebuilt are still a "special category" with high psychological and practical hurdles for many people.
However, more than 10% of investors see room for consideration, indicating a very niche market characteristic where judgment is sharply divided depending on the presence or absence of knowledge and experience.
1st place: Cannot consider 244 cases 84.4%
2nd place: Can consider 30 cases 10.4%
3rd place: Cannot say either way 15 cases 5.2%
Valid responses: 289 cases (single answer)
Please tell us in detail whether properties that cannot be rebuilt can be considered as investment targets.
Next, we asked in more detail about the investment potential of properties that cannot be rebuilt.
1st place: Not at the moment 86/289 29.8%
2nd place: Will never buy no matter what 66/289 22.8%
3rd place: No knowledge, so will not consider 60/289 20.8%
4th place: Might be good depending on the property 32/289 11.1%
5th place: Will consider if there's a possibility of rebuilding even if difficult 15/289 5.2%
6th place: Positive depending on price and yield 11/289 3.8%
6th place: Interested and want to learn. Want to buy depending on the property 11/289 3.8%
8th place: No particular resistance 4/289 1.4%
9th place: Have some knowledge and will consider positively 2/289 0.7%
9th place: Good at properties that cannot be rebuilt. Can say I like them 2/289 0.7%
Valid responses: 289 cases (single answer)
The survey results showed that general real estate investors have a very strong sense of caution regarding properties that cannot be rebuilt as investment targets.
"Difficult to consider. Not at the moment" came in 1st place with 29.8%, and "Absolutely cannot consider. Will never buy no matter what" came in 2nd place with 22.8%, with these two negative opinions alone accounting for the majority.
This is thought to reflect respondents' deep-rooted anxiety about the risk of future asset value depreciation caused by the fatal restriction of being unable to rebuild, and the difficulty of exit strategies (selling) after operation.
Next, we will introduce comments from those who chose 1st to 5th place.
1st place: Not at the moment 86/289 29.8%
"Difficult to consider. Not at the moment" was chosen for 1st place. Comments show that many feel "basically high risk" unless it is a property where a "clear exit strategy can be envisioned."
