    G’day all,

    Just a quick opinion from anyone who has read either “Money Secrets of the Rich” or similr by Burley or “How to be a property millionaire” buy Craig Turnbull.

    I’m looking for a book which discuss “creative financing” techniques.

    Any suggestions?

    P.S. I have been told that Burleys book comes highly recommended by Steve McKnight….but not sure if it covers Creative Financing

    Cheers,

    Battz

    I would hearlty recommend John Burleys book – it could literally save you thousands. While it dosen’t have that many “creative financing” techniques it will give you solid level 4. I cannot tell you how important it is to understand the steps as you could be doing very creative level 5 dealings but blow it all because you base is so poor (i.e. your base is level 4, where you take control of insurance, super, how to pay off all consumer debt inc. house in 5yrs, how to really take control of your own finances, etc).

    If your wanting to get rich quick without real work (i.e. getting level 4 down pat) it won’t probably interest you…. If thats your plan all I can wish you is good luck. Otherwise it is a fantastic read.

    I have never read any of Turnbull’s books, so I can’t really comment about them…

    Rgds.

    Would also recommend John Burley’s book. It is more directed towards the available options you have rather than any specific strategies – although the edition I havew is somewhat dated content waise (some of the organisaiotns mentioned have merged, gone out of business). But structure wise, a good starting point

    Hi there,
    I would also like to add that I recommend John Burley his book is excellent, I picked it up at the library some time ago.He opens your eyes to the various options/strategies available.

    Craig Turnbull I purchased this book quite some time ago, and all I can remember was it was quite ordinary and a waste of money. I learnt zip from this book.[:(]

    I’d say Mr Burley got the thumbs up, so I’ll grab a copy today and get into it!

    Battz, for creative financing, I would seriously look at ‘Creating Wealth’ ($24.95 from Dymocks) by Robert Allen – the author also of Nothing Down (From Dymocks.com.au – Nothing Down:How to Buy Real Estate with Little or No Money Down (Revised ed) – $49.95 No Money down for the 90’s)

    Not readily available in bookstores, but easy to order in.

    Cheers

    I found Craig Turnbull’s book to be quite good and informative especially compared to the dross from Somers and Bell. How many chapters can they stretch to on the basic premise of if you pay more off your loan you will pay it out faster – rocket science!

    Why not buy one every two weeks because you only need 2 weeks to read one book.

    Kind regards
