I’ve always wondered about real estate speculation and how people go about learning the ropes without losing their shirts. When I saw this opportunity on PayPerPost, I took it as an opportunity to learn about an interesting product while getting paid to write a review.

Graduate Riche, a program of the “Nouveau Riche University” teaches young entrepreneurs how to make money with real estate. Real estate is a gold mine of opportunity, but it requires some knowledge of the system in order to mine it for all it’s worth. With television shows like “Flip That House” (a show on the TLC channel) that show ordinary people buying homes, fixing them up, and selling them for a huge profit to encourage people to jump on the real estate bandwagon, it makes a lot of business sense to start up a program that teaches people how to do these things properly.

Credibility

I’ll admit that before this opportunity, I had never heard of Nuveau Riche University. The name sounds kind of hokey but after my initial research, I found that it has solid credibility. It has recently been featured on the January 2008 issue of “Your Business At Home” magazine, the Graduate Riche program was reviewed by celebrity financial superstar Suze Ormann and other well regarded investment specialists.

The Program

By enrolling in this 5-20 day program, you learn by being in “an educational environment that teaches adults the way to CREATE WEALTH using the time-tested, foundational principles adhered to by all higher-education institutions”. At the “university”, you do have the option of taking classes that will help you in your real estate career, classes such as bookkeeping, real estate 101, business financial management, creative acquisition strategies, wholesaling, and other real estate-related classes, it seems as though you would walk away with a solid foundational understanding of how to make money with real estate.

Conclusion and Cost

If you’ve been interested in real estate investment but don’t know much about it, it seems as though this program could help you get the foundation you need to succeed. The packages aren’t cheap but considering that you get one-on-one advice from real estate investors, you stand to make a lot more money than you spend by attending these classes. A 5-day program costs $6,000, the 10 day program costs $10,000 and the 20 day program will set you back $16,000. However, with just one successful flip you could end up making that in a day.
