I think this is the wrong way to look at it. Why share things (especially with your family) only if they have contributed to the obtaining of those things? Its a selfish outlook in my opinion.
Im sure partners who arent into property investing contribute to the family in lots of other ways, some not so tangible but just as important if not more so.
Some forum members have to realise that property is not everything in life, actually its just a means to an end and not the end in itself.

Gordon et al,
I feel sorry for any forumites who are doing it on their own, or who have an uninterested partner.....and from this thread it seems more common than I would have thought. My wife and I work totally as a team, and I just can't picture it any other way. We both love the hunt, we both get frustrated with the banks and we both enjoy sitting down ever now and then and adding up "the equity.... mate"! When we do a reno, she does the inside and I do the outside. She does the decoration and I do the engineering. During the week I generally earn the "main" money and she handles the admin. It works great.
My best advice would be to find some like minded "IP people" and get a group. Work out some way of working together. I met some great people at Spann seminar a few years ago.
This IP journey is not all fruit....sometimes it's tough ...and I don't know that I could share the "fruit salad" with some body who had nothing to do with the preparation, if you follow my extended metaphor.
I know I'm both lucky and fortunate.
Good luck.
LL
