Business Editors/Real Estate Writers

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2001

National Residential Properties, Inc. (OTCBB:NRES.OB) Formerly (OTCBB:NRPI.OB) announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire Capitol Guard Corporation through a merger into NRES, and Capitol Guard will become a wholly owned subsidiary. The acquisition was made for cash and stock. Closing is scheduled for quarter ending Dec. 31, 2001.

Richard Astrom, President of NRES said: "We are very excited about this acquisition as it is a good fit for the two companies. NRES will need security for its apartments, condominiums and subdivision. It is good business for both companies, it creates income for NRES and Capitol Guard gets cash reserves with which to grow. Last year's revenues were approximately $300,000 and year 2001 revenues expected to reach $1,000,000." Mr. Astrom said: "After the September 11 tragedy at the World Trade Center and at the Pentagon we as a company have decided to acquire a security company to protect our residential properties and those under construction. We are in Florida where there has been much security anxiety. We now see that security will become a way of life and demand for security will only become stronger."

Capitol Guard Corporation's clients now include Class A office spaces, Condominiums, Gated Residential communities, Hampton Inns, Comfort Suites, and Remada Inns.
