Click a mouse and buy a house?

Have you thought about buying investment properties online, without ever going to see the property for yourself? Sounds crazy, no?

Well that's exactly what thousands of Nouveau Riche community members are doing through the Investor Concierge™, a service provided by The Real Market Experts Franchise, Inc.™ exclusively to customers of the Nouveau Riche Corporation.

How does it work? RME (Real Market Experts) is a franchise with several locations across the US, and they are in business to find properties for Nouveau Riche investors. They'll find the property, detail a recommended funding strategy for that particular property, will fix the property (if it needs it, which many don't), tenant the property for you, and manage it for you. And all this without you ever having to go see the property! They do provide LOTS of photos of the property itself, the street views, surrounding neighborhood, and so on. Talk about a hands-off investing strategy!

Many people are worried about buying online...particularly houses. Just think...10 years ago almost no one bought stocks online - now who hasn't heard of e*Trade (they also had some of the funniest commercials during Superbowl XLII)? I saw a billboard recently for eBay Motors, saying they sell a car a minute online! So properties are a logical progression, particularly with the abundance of online tools that can help you conduct your due diligence. For example, Google Earth is one site where you can get a satellite view of pretty much anywhere on the planet.

RME chose a franchise model for one reason - consumer protection. Franchises are regulated by state and federal agencies, such as the FTC. RME franchises are run by licensed real estate professionals and are regularly audited by an SEC-licensed firm.

The catch? Well, the only one I can think of is that you have to be a Nouveau Riche community member...but that's not exactly a "catch" in my opinion. There are just so many benefits to NRU that I can't explain them all in one blog post (disclosure: I am also a registered ISA, or Independent Student Advisor, authorized to market Nouveau Riche's investor education). I personally know lots of people who have bought properties through the Investor Concierge and have had 100% positive experiences.

To find out more, go to www.investorconcierge.com. You can click the "guest" button on the right to see how it works and to see actual properties that have been sold through this site.

You can then go to www.creatingrealestateinvestors.com to find out more about how to get started if this is what you've been looking for.

To your success,
