    Osaka 1-bed: how should I split ¥6.12m after closing?

    I wouldn’t begin with fixed yen amounts as kenjio_318 has. Set the emergency fund in months of essential expenses, then size the repair allowance from the inspection. Someone with stable income and low monthly costs may need a different split from someone whose income varies. The ¥6,120,000...
