Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Global company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy as a result of a judgment obtained by The Learning Annex for $24M. Kiyosaki is the famed author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". While many are reporting this in a mocking manner in that Kiyosaki is famed for telling people how to make money, I believe its yet another example of Kiyosaki's message in a positive light.

The message is to separate your assets into different entities that are independent of each other. As a result of Kiyosaki's entity structures, its reported that he is still worth around $80M after the bankruptcy without any of the money being in jeopardy. Now, that is a good benchmark for success.

Menechino; and don't every forget the need for a Buyer's Real Estate Agent in  a terrific article by Denise Langweber and her daughter Rebecca entitled "Buyer Beware"; or there is "The Diligence That is Due" by Lance Pomerantz; and lastly everything you need to know about transactions for "Residential Waterfront Properties" by the refined Heather Wright.
