We had a team from Japan's NHK (National Public Broadcasting) on board. The Japanese are in the U.S for two weeks documenting the state of the U.S. Economy. They will be compiling a New Years eve special on the U.S Housing Market, Energy, and National Security.
26 potential buyers joined us for this tour of North Denver Metro bank owned and HUD homes. Most were investors, but we had a few first time home buyers who were looking to buy in this under value market.
We had the U.S Public Broadcasting show "Weekend America" call in on the tour and interview the Japanese producer while we were touring foreclosed homes.
Interesting interview, it really shows how much Japan is interested in and affected by the turmoil in the U.S. economy.
To paraphrase our Japanese producer, Yasue Drabble "When the U.S has a cough, Japan catches a cold and when the U.S catches a cold, Japan catches pneumonia"
