Hi Michael!
For a second I wondered if you were my fiancee posting! Then I realised that while yes, I am also currently staring at wedding cakes (it’s astounding how many different types there are!), I’m also the one with the passion to make the life change to investing in Property full time while my partner hasn’t even looked at the cover of Steve’s books!
My partner is definitely not interested at this point in time and at first it was a concern to me – how are we going to “work out” in the future if we didn’t have shared vision? I realised though, that while he doesn’t have the same interest in IP (or any at all!), he is still supportive of what I intend to do and is willing to listen to my ramblings about what I’m doing. So while it’s not my dream vision of an investing partnership, I’m still getting out and about and giving it a go, and like some of the others have said, as soon as I have done a few deals and the positive cashflow starts coming in and our portfolio starts growing, I believe he won’t be able to resist joining me – especially once I can quit my day job!
I’m sure in time your partner will be swayed by your enthusiasm and after the wedding will take more interest. For now though, relax and let her plan – at least you won’t have to do the cake and flower research!!
Have a great wedding – All the best.

How about:
I can see your post about Money Partners but unfortunately do not have access to view the question. However, I am intrigued – perhaps you could post the topic again in a more accessible part of the forum as some of us may be able to help?!
Why don’t you just send them a PM?
As a new starter in property investing, I’m always nervous – more negative media hype isn’t going to change that!
I always remind myself that years ago there were many who thought that property investing was a very bad idea and now say, if only we’d bought back then!
We’ll probably say the same thing in years to come about now!
Just my thoughts.
EmjoyHi Dr X,
Well I’m not going to knock back any offers of help and I’m in the mentoring program! Why do you think that we would? Have you tried contacting us all to give us your assistance?
I’ll keep in mind that you are thinking of us newbies and will make sure I come back to you when I have some questions![biggrin]

Hi there,
I’m in a situation similar to you with time and money. What is helping me is that I have enlisted a ‘partner’ (a very close family member) who also has a small amount of money and the same desire to get into property investing. While the profits (when we start making them!) may be smaller, something is always better than nothing and over time we can branch off into our own investments. It also helps to have another person working with you to maximise time and look for deals.
Hope that gives you something more to think about.
