I tried very hard to find someone who could say nice things about NAREI and I didn’t. But I did find several people who went on the tour and said that it was was a rippoff.

I called Mark Garrisson and asked him what exactly I was paying for. I did not get a satisfactory answer.

Most of the people who sell these sort of tours make their money from the tours and not from doing any deals. All the deals they do are purely cosmetic and act as a promotional tool for their real money maker – the buying tour.

I’m sorry you’re such a brash idiot who didn’t bother to read any posts or even nicely say that you disagree.

Including hotels and meals. You say you found several people that said the tour was bogus and not worth it. Did you bother looking for the thousands that have been on tour and have been successfully investors ever since? <br/>And where has your personal research led you? If you have been one tenth as successful as those who went on tour I would be very surprised. I'm truly sorry you never botherd to look for the true story.
