Properties for sale

[bystander]

Back in the 80s the Japanese bought lots of properties not only in Puna but in all of Hawaii. Then the Japanese economy crumbled and they stopped buying and the RE bubble burst. Many sold for huge losses but it's surprising how many lots are stilled owned by Japanese nationals. I looked up two adjoining lots to mine and both have owner's addresses in Japan but they have been up to date with paying their taxes. My own lot was purchased from a Japanese national.
