Mmmm this is just another extremely annoying article. I sell NRAS and the first discussion
with anyone interested in a NRAS property is to discuss..... Drum roll please..... NRAS!
Our properties are not discussed at all in our first meeting. You're like a fire starter without a match.
We discuss the audit, NRAS provider, check points of the program, who's in charge and what to
look out for. I highly doubt that ASIC gave your the interview, seems like you went picking
through there website and try to paste it into a article. Nice!
