NRPI Responses (2)

Thoughts evoked by the received email

1. Misleading?

   I looked the page over again, and could only find one section that might be a little off... I say a few things about the "three day waiting period", and the way NRPI could handle it, that may be incorrect, but I believe I say that with a "may" and "might". The point being for the reader to be careful, and read everything they sign.

   I've stated in a number of places on this site that I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not an expert on real estate, business or anything else that may apply; that the pages in this section are to help people FIND those negative comments...;  and that any of MY comments are my opinions and just what I would recommend to family and friends based on my research.
    

2. "I am sure you can find some people that think they were cheated and I think you might find they also feel cheated at most everything they do, you shouldn’t let bad judgment on your part seem like a rip off from someone else."

   Let's break this down a little:

   1. "I am sure you can find some people that think they were cheated and I think you might find they also feel cheated at most everything they do ..."

      Yes. I understand that there are SOME who feel cheated at most everything they do. However, "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that someone's not out to get you!" And, those types of people are few and far between.

      Most are just normal, everyday people, trying to find a way to invest their money and have some fun in the process. Many are looking for places to retire, and very few have the money to spend not only an building their "dream home", but on paying a (probably) inflated amount on a piece of property that may or may not contain the utilities necessary and that may or may not be "close to amenities". (Please note: "Close" is a relative term here... 30-60 miles is "close" to some people, but "walking distance" or a very short "5-to-10-minute drive" is "close" to many others.)

      PLEASE NOTE: I'm not saying NRPI would not work for some, but many of those who get "caught up" in infomercial sales-pitches, and want to research how valid it is, sometimes need it pointed out to them that SOME things on TV are NOT as they appear!

      Remember people, it's a "SALES PITCH". NRPI spends a half-hour, using a fairly popular celebrity, on a commercial for a "rural community" (read small town-size) of however-many, with the majority of that time pointing out all the great amenities of the place and showing pictures of some of the "nicer" and fabulous homes in the area, but only spending about 30 seconds total in 2-3 clips showing the actual "entry level lots" being advertised, is not reality! It's a SALES-PITCH. I just want people to realize that before they decide they're going to "go for it".

      This page, and others in this section, was meant to HELP PEOPLE MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS on whether they wanted to risk a LOT of their hard-earned money on purchasing something they may not quite understand, by providing the opinions I would provide to family and friends, and the links to other places and stories of people who feel they were not dealt with fairly, so they can get a better understanding of what they might be getting themselves into.
       

   2. "[Y]ou shouldn’t let bad judgment on your part seem like a rip off from someone else."

      As the caveman says in the Gieco commercial, "Yeah... I have a response... Uh... WHAT?"

      First of all, I don't believe I have bad judgment at all. I have the experience and knowledge to do research on many products and scams on the internet. And I have the capability of writing so (I hope) most people can understand. I would not want friends or family to be "caught up" in sales pitches they see in infomercials, but to find out if it's right for them. So, if people simply become more careful about what they see, read and sign in situations like this, I'm happy.

      But just in case I understand what I believe was meant: In no place do I come close to suggesting that my opinions should be the be all and end all of a person's research. That's why I provide links to not only NRPI's sites, but to detractors, and I normally also point out if there are positive remarks on some of those detractor's pages.

      And just to emphasize the point:

      TO MY READERS:

      Please do not make a decision on whether anything you see in an infomercial is right or wrong for you, based on MY opinions and pages alone. I am NOT an expert, a real-state salesman, a lawyer, or someone running their own business. I'm just a normal, everyday person who understands how to find things on the internet, and I've provided the links to help you make YOUR decision. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MY OPINIONS FOR YOUR OWN. Take what I say as partial advice, and keep looking around!

       

3. Why would a disgruntled former employee(?) bother?

   Most disgruntled employees I know would and could care less what happened to their former employers, and many would rather see someone "tear them down". (And TRUST me, I'm NOT the only site out there with what could be perceived as negative remarks about NRPI!)
    

4. Why is he asking for an "interview"?

   I'm not an "interviewer". Besides, without a tape-backup of any "interview" it would be too easy for them to tell me something, I put it on my site, then for them to sue me because they now claim they didn't say it, and didn't give me permission to put it on the page.

   I've said, on other pages, that I will accept an email refuting anything on the page(s), and will include those comments either at the point being refuted, or on a feedback/responses page. PLEASE NOTE: These will be with (if given written permission in your email) or without (as above or first-name only) full attribution .
