The biggest risk for B&Bs is not 'occupancy fluctuations,' but 'who is responsible, who pays, how much, and whether payment is made after an accident occurs.' This article uses an actionable risk control framework to break down common B&B liability scenarios (guest injuries/third-party damage/fire and water damage/loss of valuables/neighbor complaints/illegal short-term rental fines), and provides four layers of control measures: insurance combinations, contract terms, operational processes, and emergency plans; it also supplements key points on platform insurance differences and legal safety obligations in the context of Japanese B&Bs (minpaku).

Choosing the wrong property management company for overseas real estate doesn't just risk vacancies; it can lead to misappropriated rent, opaque accounting, inflated repair quotes, fines for short-term rental violations, and tax penalties from missing filings.

This article breaks down both paths into actionable steps using a unified framework, highlighting common pitfalls and avoidance strategies for foreign buyers.
