Flavour localisation is a crucial strategy for healthy snacking brands to win over Asian consumers' ‘sophisticated tastebuds', according to Vietnam's Lecka, which is rapidly expanding across the region.

Ziv Nakajima-Magen was born in Israel, migrated first to Australia, then finally to Japan, where he and his wife run a buyers’ agency and portfolio management company, helping foreigners invest in Japanese property and manage their investments.   “When investing away from home, choose the right people to work with, and learn how to trust and listen to them.” Ziv Nakajima-Magen   Worst investment ever Investing in Asia for the first time When Ziv and his wife moved to Japan, having some experience with real estate property investment in Australia, he decided to get into the Japanese real estate industry. Ziv felt that he knew what property investment is all about. How to price rent for rental property, what’s a good or bad property, locations, and so forth. Cash flow investments Ziv looked for the highest rental income that they could find in areas that they were comfortable with. He found a bulk purchase of three condo units in a city not too far from Fukuoka, where the couple lives. The units came at a discounted price because the seller wanted to get rid of all three of them and was happy to discount the price if it was all to the same buyer. The tenants had been in place for like 15 years, so it was quite a good investment, tenancy wise and return was through the roof at about 15-16%. Coming in guns blazing While doing the math, Excel sheet style, the couple realized that one of the units had slightly lower rent than the others, about $20 or $30 a month. Ziv, thinking that he knew what they were doing as they’d been in the property market for a while now and knew all about globalization, decided that when that tenancy lease was about to be renewed, they should raise the rent to bring it up to the same level as the other two units. It was just a small amount anyway, the tenant wouldn’t mind, or so they thought. In Japan, you don’t increase the rent When they told the property manager to increase the rent for that lease, he asked them if they were sure about it, and they said yes without giving it much thought. What they didn’t realize was that you don’t raise rents in Japan. A tenant would be paying the same rent that they paid when they moved into the property say eight, 10 or even 20 years ago. And they wouldn’t ask you to reduce the rent when the contract is renewed because for them any negotiation is considered and feels like a conflict. The Japanese tend to avoid conflict at any cost. Ziv’s tenant did not renew the lease; instead, they moved to another vacant unit in the very same building that was renting for about half the rent. Ziv stayed with a vacant unit for about a year and a half, losing a third of their income stream. When they got another tenant, they had to rent it at a much lower amount. Eventually, they sold it at about 20 or 30% loss compared to when they bought it. Had they just taken time to learn this new market, they would have known about the Japanese culture regarding raising and lowering rent, and it would have saved them from making their worst investment. Lessons learned Consider cultural and emotional differences when doing your due diligence In our minds, due diligence tends to be a very practical sort of numbers related matter. So we look at income streams and risk factors in the sense that something might suddenly happen. But we don’t think about cultural and emotional differences when we’re dealing in another country. So, yes, the numbers probably apply the same anywhere you go. But there are a lot of other factors that you need to take into account. Not all real estate locations are the same Relying on your knowledge that was gained in another location when you’ve been investing in a familiar market might not be applicable. Your market might be the stark opposite of the one that you’re going into next. Learn about the professionals that you’re dealing with Understand how professionals in the new location you want to invest in work. Also, learn to trust their advice, and try to read between the lines when they say something or trying to gauge what it is that they might be trying to say to you but are maybe avoiding for various reasons. Andrew’s takeaways Avoid downtime in between tenants Rental property owners often forget about the damage that can be done by having downtime in between tenants. That can destroy what looks like a beautiful yield. Don’t focus on numbers only Don’t be the Excel expert type that focuses on numbers only. Not everything can be measured in a spreadsheet. The most important things often in business are unknown, unknowable, and unmeasurable. A little resistance in Asia could mean trouble In Asia, a tiny amount of resistance is a signal that you have to stop pushing something through and ask yourself why you’re getting this little bit of resistance. One of the biggest mistakes that people make coming to Asia from the West is that they push through and think, “let’s get this done.” That can be a huge mistake. Actionable advice If you’re investing away from your familiar market, and especially if it’s for the first time, focus a lot more on the companies and the professionals that you’re going to do business with. Because you’re not going to be present in person and you’re not familiar with that market, you’re not going to be able just to walk in there and make things right again. So what you really want to do is make sure that you choose the right people to work with. And once you feel confident that you’ve done that, listen to them, talk to them and try to find a way to align your goals with that particular environment and what the people working in it are suggesting to you. No. 1 goal for the next 12 months Ziv’s goal for the next 12 months is to set up his business infrastructure, automate processes, and get things done a lot more smoothly and profitably. Parting words   “You don’t have to stay in your backyard and what you’re familiar with. If the attractive investments are not there, just go out and explore. The world is your oyster.” Ziv Nakajima-Magen   Connect with Ziv Nakajima-Magen LinkedIn Facebook Twitter Website Andrew’s books How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Transform Your Business with Dr.Deming’s 14 Points Andrew’s online programs Valuation Master Class Women Building Wealth The Build Your Wealth Membership Group Become a Great Presenter and Increase Your Influence Transform Your Business with Dr. Deming’s 14 Points Connect with Andrew Stotz: astotz.com LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast

This record is dope. You can’t take that away from them.” — MAJID “Jay’s verse has to be a snippet from an old recording session. There’s no other justification for something like that.’ — Mr. Producer “The Jay Z verse is all about his presence. Y’all are reading into this too much!” — MAJID “You can’t honestly tell me that Drake gave this song a strong effort. That “Chain”ing tatum line was not good!” — Mr. Producer “It’s dope, the hook bangs.
