Seeking consultations for minpaku sales in the Kanto/Tokyo area. Former banker supports minpaku M&A | Appraising profitable minpaku on YouTube

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to announce dreams. This press release is the dream of "Finance Eye Inc. (Tanaka's Minpaku Investment)".

Finance Eye Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka Prefecture, Representative Director: Takuro Tanaka), which supports buyers and sellers in minpaku investment, endorsed "April Dream" hosted by PR TIMES and announced its dream on April 1, 2026: "Making investment where Japanese people do not compete with each other a norm."

This is not just an ideal. It is a proposal for a new way of asset building that breaks away from the current "zero-sum structure" in the investment market and shifts to "investment that creates" a sustainable future by leveraging Japanese culture, vacant homes, and inbound demand.

*Our company is an M&A support organization registered with the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which executes appropriate M&A safely and securely.

■Why end "zero-sum investment" now?

In Japan, amidst rising prices and growing anxiety about the future, the business structure that exploits "knowledge gaps" and "information gaps" in the investment market has become a problem.

  • Selling low-value properties to individuals without knowledge

  • The spread of "self-taught investment" without reproducibility

  • A system where only intermediaries and sellers profit

Such "investment that thrives on someone's loss" is not how it should be.

"Investment is not about taking money from someone else's wallet."

Finance Eye (Tanaka's Minpaku Investment) believes that this structure itself needs to be changed.

■A new option for "investment that creates" a sustainable future - Minpaku Investment

The answer is minpaku investment, which utilizes the inbound market. Japan already has assets that can be proud of worldwide.

  • Vacant homes

  • Local culture

  • Hospitality (Omotenashi)

These are not things that Japanese people should compete for domestically, but rather sources that generate value by earning foreign currency from overseas.

"Japanese culture itself is a 'true treasure' more valuable than gold and silver."

Minpaku revitalizes vacant homes, attracts people to local areas, and earns foreign currency. It is an investment that can realize a "structure where everyone profits."

■Increasing "investors who walk the right path" changes society

Finance Eye is not just providing investment opportunities; it is focused on "producing" investors. The reason is clear: "Self-taught methods always perish." Investment without correct knowledge can distort not only the individual but also the entire market.

For this reason, the company emphasizes "bank appraisal standards," "revenue performance basis," and "reproducible investment methods," and has supported over 1,000 investors to date.

■Why do we advocate this dream?

Representative Tanaka, as a former banker, has been involved in numerous loan and investment projects. What he observed was "successful investments," "failed investments," and "a structure where someone loses." Originally, investment is meant to enrich people. However, in reality, some people lose money due to differences in knowledge. "I want to change this structure." That is the origin of this challenge.

■Video: "Determination to end zero-sum competition"

In conjunction with this release, a speech video by Representative Tanaka has also been published. The video conveys the following messages:

  • Why we reject zero-sum investment

  • Why minpaku is an "investment for co-existence"

  • Why it is necessary for Japan now

■Future Developments

Finance Eye (Tanaka's Minpaku Investment) will continue to spread "investment without competition" in society through:

  • Expansion of the profitable minpaku M&A market

  • Training of minpaku investors (seminars, education)

  • Support for revitalizing vacant homes in rural areas

  • Promotion of inbound market utilization

■Guidance on how to start minpaku correctly seminar

The company also holds weekly seminars where participants can learn about minpaku investment and minpaku M&A. They believe that increasing the number of investors with correct knowledge leads to the formation of a healthy market.

■Representative's Comment

I have decided to create a world where Japanese people do not compete with each other. I want to spread investment that creates and shares value, rather than investment that thrives on someone's misfortune. I believe this will protect the future of Japan.

Our operated "Profitable Minpaku YouTube" has surpassed 4,000 subscribers and has become a crucial information source for minpaku investors. In particular, our unique "Minpaku M&A Report," which analyzes actual profitability, business value, and risks from a bank appraisal perspective, is utilized as content directly linked to investors' decision-making. Recently, there has been an increase in cases where buyer investors make investment decisions based on the appraisal content on YouTube, and there have even been instances where sales negotiations progressed in about a week after our appraisal.

■Reasons why both sellers and buyers support us

Minpaku investors who are sellers also highly evaluate us on the following points:

  • Minpaku is properly evaluated as a "business" rather than "real estate"

  • Can sell to quality investors

  • Receive ongoing support until the next investment after the sale

Through this, our company is not just an intermediary, but plays the role of a partner that supports investors' asset building in the long term. "Minpaku investment has entered an era where results are greatly divided by 'information gaps'."

Now is the chance for minpaku investment, with a growth target of 15 trillion yen by 2030

According to announcements by the Japan Tourism Agency and JNTO (Japan National Tourism Organization), the number of foreign visitors to Japan in 2025 is expected to exceed 40 million, with consumption exceeding 9 trillion yen, showing a recovery beyond pre-COVID levels. The government aims for 60 million by 2030, and the minpaku market has expanded threefold compared to 2018 as a recipient of accommodation demand.

The option of "selling" before closing minpaku

Minpaku business requires a lot of effort, including "acquiring minpaku properties (including subleasing)," "opening minpaku," "preparing licenses and permits," and "operating minpaku." However, in recent years, an exit strategy called "minpaku M&A," which involves selling minpaku businesses, has been attracting attention. By utilizing minpaku M&A, it may be possible to "transfer a profitable and operating minpaku business to the next investor" or "sell minpaku as a business."

Investors buying profitable minpaku are also increasing

Investors buying profitable minpaku are also increasing

Minpaku investment has hurdles such as "preparing to open minpaku," "attracting tourists," and "managing minpaku operations." Therefore, in recent years, investors who acquire already profitable minpaku have been increasing. Acquiring profitable minpaku offers low-risk, high-return benefits such as "being able to check revenue data," "reducing startup risks," and "reducing the risk of failure in the minpaku business."
