I purchased a property direct from the vendor and did not have to pay extra solicitor’s fees. But I do have a good relationship with my solicitor, so I do not know if that’s the norm.

Wouldn’t it be mainly the vendor’s solicitor’s fees going up?

Yeah, when you’re grey and old and don’t want to have to walk far to get to the toilet (esply when you need to go in a hurry!) 40sqm may seem plenty big.

Restart your internet browser? Or your computer?

I’m no computer expert but these are always the first port of call for me.

Sorry can’t help more

I’m with Kay,

They do a wierd musical routine. Kind of like a Bollywood movie, except… you’re in the middle of it. With as much info in it.

I do find the angle with which Robbins looks at things occasionally insightful, but don’t find him too motivational. However, I’m sure he’d be entertaining to some and possibly life-changing for a few people. Perhaps the failing is mine, I do find that I’m hard to impress- maybe I’m just a wet blanket.

How come everything said above has to be mutually exclusive?

Why can’t Steve be trying to make as much money as possible, yet at the same time, help others to make money? And at the same time get some more publicity? And at the same time be charitable? And… etc you get the idea… Maybe this is the kind of win/win deal he’s always looking for?

And the most expensive. What’s the difference if she/he is going to get half anyway?

hmmm… am I being too cynical? …nah

After extensively reading John T’s website, I think people are concentrating on the word “cult” and missing the point.

The main idea behind it is to highlight the inconsistencies in R.Kiyosaki’s stories and his supposed transformation from almost bankrupt to multi-millionaire. The “cult” is used to emphasise the way Kiyosaki gives his followers something to believe and blindly accept.

Not sure if I agree with everything John T talks about on his website, just like I don’t agree with everything Kiyosaki talks about. However, John T’s site is a great read and for all the die-hard Kiyosaki fans a must!

Dutchess,

Anyway, I have talked to a solicitor about this, but it was at a pub and I’m sure she’d had a few drinks so not sure if this is totally true.

Pre-nup (btw it’s called something else in Oz can’t remember -a financial agreement?) as others have suggested will protect what you bring to the marriage. After that it’s split according to the pre-nup. There is absolutely no way of protecting your assets from your spouse and to do so can cause all kinds of problems from the courts for trying to hide them. You must have full disclosure. And there are forensic accountants that can be hired! eek!

If in defacto, you have to have everything recorded and make them pay rent, etc, so that it doesn’t look like financially you have a relationship.

You could place your asset in a family member’s name, but that’s another kettle of fish. Not for everyone.

I think that the answer to your problem Dutchess is to be interested in a richer man.

PS I know someone who got divorced 2 times. He tells me that they even get a part of your super! Ouch.

Does Brendan have any qualifications besides having been mentored by Steve and Dave? What kind of real estate success/failures has he had in the past? What of the other 10 mentors?

If he has made AND lost money, I’d be more interested in a mentor that has seen both sides of the coin. I’d be willing to learn off someone poorer than me, if they had the right experience.

No criticisms from me so far, just want more info before spending my money!

Mkc,

I’d like to echo everyone else’s congrats on your creativity, but also to say that it was also your perseverence and determination that allowed this to eventuate. Inspirational.
