A

Market Problems, Risk & Trust

市場の誤解・リスク・信頼性
Q1

In your view, what are the three biggest misunderstandings that salaried employees (25–50) have about real estate investment in Tokyo—and how do those misunderstandings destroy wealth over 10–20 years?

上場企業に勤める25〜50歳の方々が、東京の不動産投資について抱いている最大の誤解は何でしょうか? その誤解が10〜20年でどのように資産形成を阻害しますか?

Q2

Many people have heard horror stories about condo investment "sales talks." What specific industry practices do you consider harmful or borderline unethical, and how does FLAGSHIP INVESTMENT deliberately do the opposite?

不動産投資の"強引な営業トーク"が社会問題になっていますが、業界で特に有害だと感じる慣行は何ですか? また、FLAGSHIP INVESTMENTはそれと正反対のアプローチをどのように徹底していますか?

Q3

If a 35-year-old employee at a listed company comes to you with ¥0 experience in investing, what are the main risks they are blind to—and how do you systematically make those risks visible before recommending any property?

投資未経験の35歳会社員が来社した場合、彼らが気づいていない主要なリスクは何ですか? そして御社はその"見えないリスク"をどのように可視化してから提案していますか?

Q4

When you refuse to sell an investment property to a prospect, what are the typical red flags? Can you share concrete examples where you deliberately said "no" and why?

販売をお断りするケースもあると伺いました。どのような"レッドフラッグ"があると、御社はあえて販売しない判断をしますか? 過去の具体例を教えてください。

B

Product & Strategy

商品・戦略・プロダクトの本質
Q5

You handle sales, rentals, investment properties, and renovations. For a typical client in their 30s–40s, what is the "flagship" model you recommend—what type of property, what loan structure, what holding period, and what exit image?

御社は投資用不動産、賃貸管理、自宅購入、リノベーションまで扱っていますが、30〜40代の典型的な顧客に対して"最も推奨する投資モデル"はどのようなものですか?(物件タイプ、ローン構成、保有期間、出口戦略など)

Q6

Your website talks about enabling people to build assets with limited own capital by using "other people's money" (leverage) in real estate investment. Where do you draw the line between smart leverage and dangerous over-leverage for a salaried worker?

不動産投資は「少ない自己資金でもレバレッジで資産形成が可能」と説明されていますが、"健全なレバレッジ"と"危険なレバレッジ"を分ける基準はどこにありますか?

Q7

How do you select properties that can realistically function as both: (a) a stable rental asset today, and (b) a strong resale candidate 10–20 years later? What concrete screening criteria do you use that ordinary buyers never see?

現在の安定収益と、10〜20年後の売却価値という両方の観点から、"本当に優良な投資物件"をどのように選別しているのでしょうか? 一般の投資家が知らない選定基準を教えてください。

Q8

You also support my-home purchases and renovations. For a client in their 20s–30s, how do you decide whether to recommend "first my home" vs "first investment property" as their starting strategy?

自宅購入と投資用不動産、どちらを先に持つべきか迷う人が多いですが、20〜30代に対してはどのように判断基準を提示していますか?

"An era where people must rely on their own efforts for asset formation"
— FLAGSHIP INVESTMENT Philosophy

Customer Outcomes & Real Stories

顧客ストーリー・成果・再生事例
Q9

Can you describe one client case—a typical 20s–30s employee at a listed company—who started with almost no assets and, through your guidance, changed their long-term financial trajectory? What happened over 5–10 years in numbers?

上場企業勤務・投資未経験の20〜30代の方が、御社のサポートで5〜10年の間に資産状況を大きく変えた事例があれば、数字を含めて教えてください。

Q10

Conversely, have you had clients come to you after failing with another real estate company? What went wrong for them, and how did you help repair or re-structure their portfolio?

他社の提案で失敗してしまった顧客が、御社に相談に来るケースはありますか? その失敗の原因と、御社がどのように"立て直し"を行ったのか具体例をお願いします。

Q11

Among all your clients in the past few years, what is the most surprising "life change" you've witnessed that came from a single real estate decision?

近年の顧客の中で、1つの不動産投資をきっかけに"人生の質"が劇的に変わった方のエピソードがあれば教えてください。

D

Philosophy & Brand Story

会社哲学・顧客層への理解・ブランドストーリー
Q12

Your message talks about an era where people must rely on their own efforts for asset formation, and you propose real estate investment as one of the key tools. What personal experience or turning point led you to build a company around that philosophy in the first place?

御社は「自助による資産形成の時代」を掲げていますが、この哲学を持つきっかけとなった個人的な経験や転機は何でしょうか?

Q13

You focus on people working at public companies, aged roughly 25–50. What makes this group uniquely "under-served" or "mis-served" by traditional banks and big-name real estate firms?

御社がメインターゲットとする"上場企業勤務の25〜50歳"は、なぜ従来の不動産会社や銀行では十分に守られていないのでしょうか?

Q14

If you had to summarize the FLAGSHIP INVESTMENT promise in one sentence specifically to a 32-year-old employee who is anxious about the future, what would you say—and what behind-the-scenes systems are in place to make that sentence true?

将来不安を抱える32歳会社員に対して、FLAGSHIP INVESTMENTの約束を"1行で表現"するとしたら何と言いますか? そして、その1行を現実にするための社内体制はどのようになっていますか?

E

Future Vision & Differentiation

未来予測・差別化・10年戦略
Q15

Over the next 10–20 years in Tokyo's real estate market, what do you think will separate people who quietly build freedom from those who stay on a treadmill—and how is FLAGSHIP INVESTMENT preparing its services (investment, rentals, my-home, renovation) to be on the winning side of that shift?

今後10〜20年の東京不動産市場で、"静かに資産を築く人"と"資産形成が進まない人"を分ける最大の要因は何だと思いますか? また、その変化に合わせて御社のサービス(投資・賃貸・自宅購入・リノベーション)はどのように進化させる予定ですか?

F

Insurance, Safety & Downside Protection

保険・安全性・スマート投資性の強調
Q16

Many people don't realize that real estate investment can be partially insulated through insurance. If you had to explain Flagship's "risk-blocking mechanism" in simple terms to a first-time investor, how would you describe it? And why do most competitors avoid implementing the same structure?

保険による"リスク遮断"の仕組みを、一般の会社員でも理解できる言葉で説明するとどうなりますか? また、他社が導入していないのはなぜでしょうか?

Q17

Interest rate changes, vacancies, and aging properties are considered the "big three risks" of real estate investing. How does Flagship use insurance, guarantees, and structured management systems to neutralize these risks and create genuine downside protection for your clients?

不動産投資は"金利・空室・老朽化"の3大リスクと言われますが、FLAGSHIPではそのリスクをどう保険・管理システムで吸収し、実質的に"下げ打ち(ダウンサイドプロテクション)"を作っているのですか?

Q18

Employees at public companies are often afraid of taking on a mortgage for investment purposes. How do you quantify that fear, and how do you convert it into a controlled, insured asset through Flagship's insurance and protection mechanisms?

上場企業勤務者の多くは"ローンを抱えることへの不安"を持っています。御社はその不安をどのように数値化し、保険や保証制度を通して"リスクをコントロールされた資産"に変えているのでしょうか?

Q19

People say your recommended properties are "beginner-proof" and hard to lose money on. What exactly is happening behind the scenes with your screening process, insurance coverage, and management framework that makes this possible—especially compared to traditional real estate firms?

御社が扱う物件は"投資初心者でも損しにくい"と聞きます。その裏側にある審査・保険・管理体制は、一般的な不動産会社と何が具体的に違うのでしょうか?

Q20

If a 35-year-old employee at a listed company told you, "I want the safest, smartest investment approach possible," what specific combination of insurance, guarantees, and strategy would you recommend? And what does their life and financial picture look like ten years later under that plan?

もし今、35歳の上場企業勤務者が"最小リスクで最大に賢い不動産投資"を始めたいと言ったら、FLAGSHIPはどのような保険・保証・戦略の組み合わせを提案しますか? 10年後、どのような安全性と成長ストーリーが描けますか?

G

Sales Funnel & Acquisition Process

営業ファネル・集客プロセス
Q21

You don't run large advertising campaigns, so how exactly do new clients find you? What percentage of your leads come from referrals, repeat clients, organic search, social media, seminars, or direct inquiries?

御社は大規模な広告を行っていませんが、新規のお客様はどのような経路で来られるのでしょうか? 紹介・リピート・検索・SNS・セミナー・直接問い合わせなど、それぞれの割合を教えてください。

Q22

When a prospective client first contacts you—whether by email, phone, or referral—what does the typical journey look like from first touch to consultation to property proposal to contract signing? Can you walk me through the full sequence step-by-step?

見込み客が最初にメール・電話・紹介などで連絡してから、"初回相談 → 物件提案 → 契約"に至るまでの一連の流れを、具体的なステップごとに教えていただけますか?

Q23

How many client touchpoints (emails, calls, meetings) are usually required before someone feels confident enough to purchase a property through your firm? And what differentiates prospects who close quickly from those who take longer?

契約に至るまで、平均して何回の接点(メール、電話、面談)が必要ですか? また、短期間で契約に進む方と時間がかかる方の違いはどこにあるのでしょうか?

Q24

What are your actual conversion rates at each stage of the funnel? For example: inquiry → consultation, consultation → property proposal, proposal → contract. How do these numbers compare to industry averages?

営業ファネルの各段階での実際のコンバージョン率を教えてください。例:「問い合わせ → 初回面談」「初回面談 → 物件提案」「提案 → 契約」 業界平均と比べてどう違いますか?

Q25

Among the clients who decide to purchase, what were the decisive moments? Was it data, simulations, insurance structures, trust in the advisor, or something emotional—like clarity about their future security? Understanding this helps explain why your sales process works without advertising.

購入を決めたお客様は、最終的に何が"決め手"になったのでしょうか? データ・シミュレーション・保険構造・担当者への信頼・将来への安心感など、心理的要因も含めて教えてください。広告なしでも成約できる理由がここに現れると思います。
