PROFESSIONAL HOUSING PROVIDER PROGRAM
MISSION
• To Enable...
▪ Members to expand their education and knowledge via courses as valuable tools to attain successful goals
▪ Present a professional image to the public and local municipalities
What is the NaPHP designation?
The NaPHP designation is a national, education-based certification program designed to recognize the high level of knowledge and professionalism among the designation holder. It is sponsored and overseen by the National Real Estate Investor's Association (National REIA).
Benefits
• Why obtain the NaPHP designation?
• Only persons completing the educational requirements will be permitted to hold themselves out to the public as a National Professional Housing Provider.
• The designee will be recognized in the form of an award certificate and the right to use the designation, and should recognize that having a basic education in the topics outlined will increase his or her ability to reach their goals in real estate investing.
• Further, as National REIA works to make the NaPHP designation more recognizable, it is hoped that the NaPHP holders will have an advantage in dealing with legal and governmental bodies when a "my word against his" situation occurs. It will also aid in encouraging legislators to think of educated investors as a larger group for political action.
• Other tangible benefits, including discounts on courses and educational materials, may be added as the program develops.
▪ Professionalism - This level of high esteem for Graduates is perceived by peers, the local media and local government officials.
▪ Accreditation - Graduates qualify to use the National REIA PHP title and/or initials on their business cards, for rent signs, name badges, etc.
