Who would have ever guessed that a goal of owning 10 rentals could be achieved in one year?
Glenn and Chelly always had a dream of owning ten rental properties and to be real estate investors. When they first enrolled in NRU they started off with zero properties, but once they learned the “NRU Wealth Cycle,” they picked up millions of dollars in real estate significantly below market value. Glenn and Chelly achieved their goal of owning ten rental properties in their first year as NRU students and investors. The “NRU Wealth Cycle” generated significant income and was the key to their making a successful transition into profitable business owners and real estate investors. Glenn and Chelly Snow, Redmond, WA
From unemployed minister with no real estate investing experience to Successful Real Estate Investor!
Gary Williams”I became a Community Member with the purchase of a Regent Tuition and was, at that time, an unemployed minister with no real estate investing experience. I went to College in December of 2005… Just one year later - my partners and I have 41 properties with 78 doors with an estimated value of $7,525,000, approximately $1.5 million in equity and cash flow of about $11,000/month. I have properties in Indiana, California, Georgia, Wyoming, and Puerto Rico. I have 33 duplexes, 4 single family homes, 3 townhouses, and one 5-plex.” - Gary Williams, Los Angeles, CA
In a 5 month time frame I had just earned over $175,000!

In a 5 month time frame I had just earned over $175,000!
“Within a week of returning from my first college I had already earned $16,000 in income! This was enough motivation for me to roll up my sleeves even more, and the following month I earned over $20,000, followed by a couple of months over $30,000, and then in December I was able to earn about $70,000 in income! In a 5 month time frame I had just earned over $175,000! Finally, my head was above water and I was back on track!” - Chris Record, Bay Area, CA
“I made $110,000 last month. I used to make that in a year. Unbelievable.” - Jason N. Las Vegas, NV
This is the most fun we’ve ever had ‘working!”
“In August 2005, we discovered Nouveau Riche and found an immediate catalyst to reach our goal to become full-time, real estate investors. Eighteen months prior, we made a tough decision to come home after volunteering in South Africa. Aaron was not looking forward to going back to corporate America. We paid $3300 on another program that trained us think like investors, but left us frustratingly unable to close any real estate deals.
Then, we found Nouveau Riche! It took only two months to get our first two investment properties under contract through the Investor Concierge™, with current cash flow of $258/mo. And two colleges later, we’ve closed on a development deal with $250,000 profit and are in negotiations on another deal worth over 6 million! In August 2006, Aaron quit his JOB! Now, we are also marketing full-time, because we can’t keep quiet about what NRU has done for us. This is the most fun we’ve ever had ‘working!” – Aaron & Emily Royce, Federal Way, WA
Within the first six months, I closed on 7 properties in the Atlanta market and 2 properties in the Cincinnati market
“I became interested in real estate investment because I wanted to realize my dream of financial freedom. I had invested in stocks and mutual funds in the past, but never obtained the kind of return on my investments that I wanted. As a result, it became clear to me that real estate investment is the most profitable and most reliable type of investment there is. My introduction to Nouveau Riche came at the Real Estate Wealth Expo in Los Angeles. I became a member of the community in June 2005. Within the first six months, I closed on 7 properties in the Atlanta market and 2 properties in the Cincinnati market with the help of The Real Market Experts. These properties have combined equity at closing of $118,000 and positive cash flow. Thank you Nouveau Riche and The Real Market Experts. I did not expect to own 9 properties in just six months. This is phenomenal!” – Robert Joseph, Los Angeles, CA
$21K in immediate built-in equity with a $120 monthly positive cash flow.
“Nouveau Riche and the Real Market Experts® helped me get a phenomenal start in my investing career! When I was introduced to these companies in April 2004, I had no investing experience. Within one month of purchasing my Regents Tuition, I bought a property through the Investor Concierge™ that had $21K in immediate built-in equity with a $120 monthly positive cash flow. Throughout the educational process of acquiring my first real estate investment, the Real Market Experts® held my hand.
This comfort factor, combined with the knowledge I gained, have given me the confidence to go out and invest. My second property from the Investor Concierge™ was an owner finance transaction, also coordinated by the Real Market Experts® Utah franchise. Should the appreciation trends of 2005 continue in this property’s marketplace, and should I hold on to this property for 2-1⁄2 years, as planned, my partners and I could expect a return-on-investment exceeding $500,000 when we cash it out. All of this without using any of my own credit. Simply put – this is amazing!” - Todd Shearer, Austin, TX
I am looking forward to building a new future, creating wealth for myself and my family with Nouveau Riche…
“After my first 6 days of training at the Nouveau Riche, my life was profoundly altered. A whole new world of possibilities regarding real estate investing has been opened up to me that I never knew existed! When I came home from the Real Estate Investing College in July, I quit my job; and I’m having the most profitable income month of my life! I am looking forward to building a new future, creating wealth for myself and my family with Nouveau Riche… Thank you so much, Chad Wade, Jim & Mary Piccolo, and Bob Snyder, for the inspiration you have been in my life. There are no words to express my gratitude!” – Robert Tierney, Elgin, IL
I bought the Ohio property with the click of a mouse and then closed the purchase transaction during my lunch hour at work!
“I had always wanted to ‘dabble’ in Real Estate, but I didn’t know much about it. Then I joined Nouveau Riche in November of 2005. Since then, my Real Estate IQ and confidence have increased tremendously! What I learned through the program allowed me to keep my condominium and invest in real estate at the same time. First, I bought a SFR in Loveland, Ohio and leased it back to the developer in January 2006. Then weeks later I closed on a 4-plex in South Torrance, California. And the numbers are beautiful: combined equity preserved and gained $350,000, with a net monthly positive cash flow of $200! My portfolio is now worth over $2 Million!
Even in my wildest dreams I never would have believed I could increase my wealth so quickly while still working full-time in the health care industry. And I’m just getting started! Thanks Nouveau Riche for providing 1st class Real Estate college education. And with the Investor ConciergeTM service – I bought the Ohio property with the click of a mouse and then closed the purchase transaction during my lunch hour at work!” – Marcie Guillermo, Redondo Beach, CA
Nouveau Riche is a true community of investors that believe real estate investing is a ‘team sport, not a one man sport!
After losing a great deal of money in the stock market many years ago, Marc believed that real estate was the best investment medium on the planet and had a burning desire to find out how to take advantage of it. He began his venture with the purchase of a program he saw on late night TV. Several years and four different programs later, Marc had lots of questions but nowhere to go for the answers.
Marc tells his story, “By the time I was finished with the fourth program I had developed a very negative complex about myself. I became frustrated as I saw others getting results and I still didn’t seem to get it! When I was introduced to Nouveau Riche, I realized that they had what I had been missing with all of the other programs… a COMMUNITY with ongoing help and support! This made all the difference in the world!
As I write this, I am currently holding almost $5 Million in real estate and I have not used any of my money or credit. My last fix and flip was with none of my money or credit. Almost one year ago, a partner and I started building 8 spec homes in Phoenix… none of my money or credit. The first one sold about three months ago for $130,000 net profit. One down, seven to go and yes, I am EXTREMELY EXCITED! My partner and I acquired 80 acres in Queen Creek… none of my money or credit. The point that I am trying to make is… YOU BECOME WHAT YOU HANG AROUND! Nouveau Riche is a true community of investors that believe real estate investing is a ‘team sport, not a one man sport!’” – Marc Gleeman, Phoenix, AZ
This was only made possible by what I learned at the Nouveau Riche Real Estate Investment College!
“My wife and I purchased investment property in February 2005, and that went pretty well for us; so we wanted to do it again. We purchased our second property in July 2005, before attending the Nouveau Riche College—and we made some major mistakes. After that experience, we weren’t sure of we wanted to invest in real estate, ever again!
After attending the College, we used our knowledge on Lease Options to sign a lease-option contract on that same property, which we would have sold for what we owed but now will net us approximately $81,000 over the next three years. Using Creative Financing techniques I learned at the College, I refinanced the property and walked away from closing with a check from $19,782.25—tax free and $500/month cash flow! I now own or I am partnered on a total of 31 investment properties, after 14 months in Nouveau Riche! This was only made possible by what I learned at the Nouveau Riche Real Estate Investment College!” – Karl Tallas, Oswego, IL
I own nearly $6,000,000 worth of real estate! I have no doubt that Nouveau Riche offers the best real estate investing program in the country!
“As an Indepedent National Senior Advisor with Nouveau Riche, Cheri Tree has had the opportunity to go from over $30,000 in credit card debt, living in an apartment before Nouveau Riche, to earning over $1,000,000 marketing and owning 20 properties in 10 different states! Cheri currently holds the record of earning $250,000 in one month of marketing the Nouveau Riche products! “I’ve always wanted to own real estate, but didn’t know where to start. I wasted money on bootcamps and seminars, and never felt like I knew exactly what to do to actually go out and buy investment property.
Thanks to Nouveau Riche and The Real Market Experts, my life is completely different. I’ve been able to create an incredible income marketing the products while building my portfolio with a few clicks of the mouse on the Investor ConciergeTM. Today I own 20 properties in 10 different states, including single family homes, duplexes, model homes, new construction, pre-construction, and a vacation home in Hawaii. The Investor ConciergeTM program made it simple and easy and today, I own nearly $6,000,000 worth of real estate! I have no doubt that Nouveau Riche offers the best real estate investing program in the country!” – Cheri Tree, Los Angeles, CA
New construction, 100% financing, $5,000 option fee, and nearly $26,000 in equity at closing!
“With an MBA and engineering degree, I’ve been privileged to work with a major oil corporation, management consulting firm, and lead economic development agency. However, the opportunity Nouveau Riche is providing has finally enabled me to pursue my passions as an entrepreneur, business owner, and real estate investor. Since joining the investor community in March 2005, I have been impressed by the impeccable vision, leadership, and integrity behind Nouveau Riche and the Real Market Experts. With its investor community, collegiate-style real estate investor education, and investing systems, Nouveau Riche has truly raised the bar in its field and has clearly taken real estate investor education to an entirely new level of excellence.
In my very first property deal through the Investor ConciergeTM, The Real Market Experts of Atlanta helped me to find and purchase a newly constructed home in Georgia, obtain 100% financing, secure a tenant/buyer for a one year lease option arrangement, receive an upfront $5,000 option fee, and secure nearly $26,000 in equity at closing when the option is exercised! Thank you Nouveau Riche and The Real Market Experts. What a phenomenal opportunity for busy professionals and entrepreneurs.” – Wade Fouts, Aurora, IL
It has been a privilege to join this Community and to glean from professional investors such valuable training and information
“Nouveau Riche is one of those rare finds that is leading the way in Real Estate Investment education in America. As a newcomer to the NRU Community and a Regents Tuition student, I am very impressed and satisfied with what I see. The classes and instructors are providing to the world of Real Estate Investment education what medical schools, nursing schools, internships, and residencies provide to the world of medicine and nursing. It has been a privilege to join this Community and to glean from professional investors such valuable training and information. Thank you, Jim and Mary Piccolo, Bob Snyder, Marc Gleeman, Nouveau Riche and the entire Community!” – Linda Gross, Buckeye, AZ
I now own 8 properties, I am a full time real estate investor, and I have generated over 80 thousand dollars in cash all in the last three months.
“I was running a 300 million dollar company and 6 weeks after being introduced to this Program, I walked away from my job. I now own 8 properties, I am a full time real estate investor, and I have generated over 80 thousand dollars in cash all in the last three months.” - Dick Hatter, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
While I once had plenty of excuses for not being a real estate investor, those fears are now gone.
“Nouveau Riche has changed our future by providing us with the tools for our retirement. The college courses are packed with valuable and actionable information. Most of all, the Real Market Experts make it possible to start your real estate portfolio. We have purchased four homes using this service. We now have tenants and positive cash flow! While I once had plenty of excuses for not being a real estate investor, those fears are now gone.” - Claudia Dove, Tacoma, WA
Thanks to my marketing the NRU education, these deals simply landed in my lap!
“Only sixty days after attending my first NRU Real Estate Investment College, I bought two properties worth $1.5M — and that’s not the best part! The best part of all is that I bought them without a credit check, bank qualifying, or money out of my pocket (Subject-to-Purchases). Now, one year later, I have done or am in the process of doing 12 transactions worth over $3M and have an equity position of over $500K! Every single one of my deals arose as a direct result of the NRU marketing system. Thanks to my marketing the NRU education, these deals simply landed in my lap.” - Lee Miller
Since November 2005 we have acquired over $3.1 million in residential real estate
“Before obtaining the Nouveau Riche education we had no idea that we could buy and sell real estate without ever having to actually finance it in our own name. Since November 2005 we have acquired over $3.1 million in residential real estate, sold over $1.7 million, and have put over $480,000 back in our pockets. Currently we are working on some new construction projects in Idaho and Nevada worth approximately $6.3 million; and we have never financed any of it personally! Through Nouveau Riche’s education we have learned how to structure and put together deals that have put us well on our way to financial freedom.” - Ben & Heather Echevarria
Now I dare to dream once again!
“When I first heard about NRU, I was an over-the-road truck driver who, for twelve years, watched the sun come up on the East Coast and set on the West Coast. I have seen many things I will never forget, as well as a few things I wish I could… I never saw my son play football. I wasn’t there to see my daughters cheerlead, or see most of my grandchildren born. When one of my granddaughters died, I was on the road in Sacramento, and when my mother-in-law died, I was in Cleveland. When my wife longed for me, I was somewhere between lost and found. It cost me twelve years of my life and much more!
When I sat in INSA Chad Wade’s office, I was really skeptical. The next morning though, I called him at six and was in his office at seven, with $16k from a loved on. Three months later, my mother was on her death bed and not expected to make it through the night, but my dispatcher still expected me to go out. I fired my boss that day and have been working full-time with NRU since then.
NRU started me on a path that helped me to reclaim my life. None of this would have been possible had it not been for Jim Piccolo, Bob Snyder and Chad Wade seeing in me what I did not see in myself. You see the truth of it was, I wasn’t skeptical about NRU, I was skeptical about myself! I was a tired, old truck driver who had lost everything, including self esteem. I didn’t think I had what it took to become a real estate investor, or a successful businessman… but the change in me is legendary!
One a recent leadership call, Jim mentioned looking at ourselves and enjoying what we saw. A few months ago, I stood back and took a long, hard inventory of myself and frankly, I didn’t like what I saw. It has been a long journey, but I can now proudly say that I love who I am - a man inspired by his own direction. I work for and answer to no one, and have a new found freedom and respect with my family and those close to me. I have my life back and I AM ALIVE!
‘Thanks’ Jim Piccolo, for what you have done for so many and for what you have given me - my life back! Sure I did the work, I created it. But, I never would have thought it possible, had it not been for what you saw in me and how you inspired me. I am forever dedicated to Jim, Bob, and above all else, to Chad for allowing me to stand on his shoulders of greatness! I am also dedicated to the NRU vision, as we change lives and assist others in finding their dreams. Being broke and in a dead-end job, living a life of quiet discontent, has nothing to do with a lack of money, but with a lack of following dreams. Now I dare to dream once again!” - Rand Casper
NRU has brought out the best in me because of the Community
“…Nouveau Riche has completely changed my life and my family’s life. When I came on board in June of 2006, my finances were in shambles. Between credit cards and a second mortgage, I was $140,000 in debt - a debt that’s almost gone now! More importantly, I have seen NRU change the lives of my friends and family. I am so thankful for the opportunity Jim Piccolo has given us in Las Vegas - IRA Jason Nedrow’s and INSA Justin Yates’ leadership is remarkable. You know, it’s not just the education, properties, or income that are fantastic - it’s the opportunity to become the person that you always knew you could be.
…NRU has brought out the best in me because of the Community. The ideas we share on how to improve on ourselves and our business change everything. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Jim’s words of wisdom on each Chancellor’s Call fill me up. I have heard him speak on several occasions, and look forward to and listen in on every Call. Jim, you are an inspiration to all of us here in Las Vegas, and I want you to know we are in it for the long haul. 2007 is going to be incredible!” - Travis Prater
I anticipated good and got FANTASTIC!
“As a dedicated Firefighter/Paramedic for 26 years in the Chicago area, working 23 years as a Flight Medic, flying critically ill patients to hospitals, the rewards were great, but as time passed, the stress got to me emotionally and physically. My heartache for others mounted and I knew I needed to find a different way to help.
In October of 2005, I met INSA Chad Wade and IRA Andrew Yurasek at a local NRU briefing. Up until this point, I didn’t own any properties and was frustrated by the money, time, and energy I’d spent on real estate. After Chad’s presentation, I felt renewed - I was on the right track - Chad and NRU were the teachers I’d been waiting for! Chad encouraged me to attend the National ISA Training in Phoenix, where I met Jim and Mary Piccolo and Bob Snyder. I’d never met such happy, caring people and I knew NRU was a good fit!
On Aug 10, 2006, I bought my first single-family rental property and started to attend NRU meetings as often as my schedule allowed…I had the NRU mind shift and insomnia to boot! At the end of September, I retired from Fire Service, started to market the NRU opportunity, and got my first short sale! Then, in December of 2006, I extended my College trip to attend a Jeffery Combs ‘break-throughs’ seminar - a life-changing trip! My College experience was so much more than what I expected - I anticipated good and got FANTASTIC!
‘Thanks’ to Chad for steering me in the direction I so desperately needed, and for bringing Jeffery Combs and the Dave Blanchard groups to Chicago for training! Also, ‘thanks’ to Jim and Mary Piccolo and Bob Snyder for the opportunity of a lifetime!” - William King
Thank you Nouveau Riche for giving me my life back!
“My name is Matt Lowe and I live in Spanish Fork, UT with my lovely wife Jennifer and our four wonderful kids. Before Nouveau Riche I was a computer consultant, which meant I did a lot of contract work and was often out of work between contracts. It got to the point that in order to stay employed, I had to travel all across the country, which took me away from my family each week, except for weekends.
Then, in May of 2003, I was introduced to NRU. A week later I packed up my family and moved to Las Vegas. I am what you might call a slow starter though. I put effort in here and there for about 3.5 years, but did not take things as seriously as I should have. Finally I made the decision to attend a National ISA Training in Phoenix in June of 2006 - a decision that changed my life. I learned exactly what I needed to learn! I came home and started taking action, got certified a few months later, and fired my boss! My commute is now the 14 steps that lead down to my basement office, and I am averaging five figures a month this year! Thank you Nouveau Riche for giving me my life back and for giving me the opportunity to be with my family!” - Matt Lowe
