Nouveau Riche University

Nouveau Riche University is a new multilevel marketed real estate investment program. It consists of three primary parts: a course that claims to teach people how to invest in real estate, a "community" of "investors" who have access to their database of properties to purchase ("Investor Concierge"), and the marketing of the course and community through standard multilevel marketing techniques. Welcome to an ISA-driven Nouveau Riche University Blog! Our goal with this blog is to showcase testimonials from the NRU community and share their success stories. It is amazing to see how many lives have been changed for the better because of this awesome opportunity and we are going to showcase as many of these amazing stories as we can here on this blog. If you are a Nouveau Riche University student, instructor, employee, or independent student advisor, we would love to hear from you! Feel free to contact us and submit your story to be published on this website. Potential topics could include: - What was your NRU college experience like? - Who were your favorite instructors and what you have learned so far? - What real estate investing have you been able to do using the education? - How has the income opportunity assisted you and your family? Nouveau Riche University is an unaccredited vocational school specializing in real estate investing. Class topics range from introductory real estate investing to advanced techniques such as creative real estate investing techniques including wholesaling, multi-units, and short sales; examples of course titles are "Fix & Flip" and "Creative Financing." The company claims revenues will top $80 million in 2007, and receives revenue from tuition, commissions on properties sold through affiliated company Investor Concierge, and fees from additional associated companies through sales of ancillary services to students. The company markets its courses through free seminars and through methods some have described as multi-level marketing, which the company states it does not use.

Credit Repair: Self Help May Be Best

You see the advertisements in newspapers, on TV, and on the Internet. You hear them on the radio. You get fliers in the mail. You may even get calls from telemarketers offering credit repair services. They all make the same claims: “Credit problems? No problem!” “We can erase your bad credit — 100% guaranteed.” “Create a new credit identity — legally.” “We can remove bankruptcies, judgments, liens, and bad loans from your credit file forever!” Do yourself a favor and save some money, too. Don’t believe these statements. Only time, a conscious effort, and a personal debt repayment plan will improve your credit report. This brochure explains how you can improve your creditworthiness and gives legitimate resources for low or no-cost help. The Scam Everyday, companies nationwide appeal to consumers with poor credit histories. They promise, for a fee, to clean up your credit report so you can get a car loan, a home mortgage, insurance, or even a job. The truth is, they can’t deliver. After you pay them hundreds or thousands of dollars in fees, these companies do nothing to improve your credit report; most simply vanish with your money. The Warning Signs If you decide to respond to a credit repair offer, look for these tell-tale signs of a scam: companies that want you to pay for credit repair services before they provide any services. companies that do not tell you your legal rights and what you can do for yourself for free. companies that recommend that you not contact a credit reporting company directly. companies that suggest that you try to invent a “new” credit identity — and then, a new credit report — by applying for an Employer Identification Number to use instead of your Social Security number. companies that advise you to dispute all information in your credit report or take any action that seems illegal, like creating a new credit identity. If you follow illegal advice and commit fraud, you may be subject to prosecution. You could be charged and prosecuted for mail or wire fraud if you use the mail or telephone to apply for credit and provide false information. It’s a federal crime to lie on a loan or credit application, to misrepresent your Social Security number, and to obtain an Employer Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service under false pretenses. Under the Credit Repair Organizations Act, credit repair companies cannot require you to pay until they have completed the services they have promised.

Friends with benefits: A Funny Explanation

Retirement Dinner

A priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and give a little speech at the dinner. He was delayed, so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited. 'I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and gave VD to his sister. I was appalled. But as the days went on I knew that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people...... . ' Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk. 'I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived,' said the politician. 'In fact, I had the honor of being the first one to go to him in confession.' Moral: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER BE LATE!! !

Nouveau Riche

Nouveau Riche: A person who has suddenly risen to a higher economic status but has not gained social acceptance of others in that class; characteristic of someone who has risen economically or socially but lacks the social skills appropriate for this new position. Nouveau riche (French for "new rich"), or new money refers to persons who acquire wealth within their generation. It is generally used to emphasize that the persons were previously part of a lower economic or social class, and that the acquisition of wealth has provided the ability to do or to have things that were previously out of their reach. As sophisticated as the term sounds, nouveau riche, has been given a new definition and grandeur within the 21st century. This cultural shift in attitude towards the nouveaux riches began through the example of President Ronald Reagan, as stated by Nelson W. Aldrich Jr. in his 1988 work “Old Money: The Mythology of America’s Upper Class.” Aldrich states that Reagan as a self-made man surrounded himself with other self-made men, who had transcended society’s class ladder. Many believed that Reagan was an “embodiment” of the new money movement as seen through his election on the “right-wing politics characteristic of the Sunbelt nouveaux riches.” Reagan encouraged the embracing of the “Market Man” and further encouraged greater efficiency in corporate America through the use of the hostile take over. In the dawn of the rise of Silicon Valley, entrepreneurship has become appreciated for its underlying hard work and goal of greatness.
