If someone is asking me to lend some money, I think that the person is reliable.
But I am still worried about being not able to get the money back. What should I do?
When you do financial transactions with someone, it is recommendable to keep it as a
document.
- When you lend some money to someone, it is recommendable to write a letter of IOU. In that document, you must specify the amount of money, interest rate, the date of payback, and both the borrower and lender have to make their signature on it. ※ Letter of IOU : a document acknowledging a debt to a person.

- As buying a house is different from renting a house, it is recommendable to consult with the licensed real estate agent about the differences. ※ Real Estate Register: official documents specifying the ownership rights
