The property is a certified Long-Term Excellent Housing, meeting the highest standards for wind and earthquake resistance specifically designed for Okinawa's climate. This certification qualifies the owner for tax and interest rate benefits. The exterior walls require periodic filling of joint sealant, with the cycle and budget to be explained separately.
