## Resource

Three years ago we built a tool so we could buy a cheap house in Japan. Then, we started helping other people buy cheap houses in Japan and soon we were helping folks from all over the world buy their dream home in Japan at any price or condition. For a while now, AkiyaMart has become a platform serving a large variety of homebuyers and we're changing our brand to reflect that. Listen to learn how we got here and what's next for the platform.
