I am on SSDI, and I'd like to move to japan for part-time opportunities.

How can I make a Mortgage work?

I want to buy cheaply.

I am in the range of around 1,000 USD per month. maybe up to 1,500 USD pr month.

Hi- thanks for your post. You almost certainly need to have some ties to Japan prior to getting a mortgage. While foreigners (without a visa) can purchase real estate in the country, in order to get money from a bank you need a spousal visa, long term work visa, permanent residency, etc. Hope this helps.
