Okay maybe the question sounds silly at first sight but hey, you know what is said about people who don't ask questions right?
Anyway, in the near future, after I get naturalized here in Japan, I intend to spend a lot of time either trying to set up a business or spending some time abroad. Still, I'd like to keep a place in Japan where I can crash in whenever needed but it would help if I didn't have to pay for it while I'm being away or not getting any stable revenue.
The trick is that I want to avoid buying a property.
So this one must be out of the equation right away.
The only ideas I got so far :
1.
The flat/house sharing scheme, where all the sharers combined pay also for my part.
2.
Maybe I can also look for old retired people who live alone and who need someone in the house from time to time to get some help/company.
3.
There are also the houses some cities/villages give away for free in order to repopulate the area.
Anyway, other ideas or criticism are welcome!
