New To Investing and Trying to Get my Wife on Baord

[Josh Smith]

Hey! I'm new to BP and to real estate investing. My wife and I have our current house on the market and I've been trying my best to educate her and talk her into buying an investment property when we sell instead of going the route of getting into another mortgage for our "forever home" that we won't be in forever. If you know, you know. Just need some advice to get her on board and maybe some tips on what helped others in the same situation. She's a skeptic about everything and just trying to get her to see what I see. We both have great W2 jobs but haven't done the best setting up for the future and I'm wanting to change that. Thanks in advance!

 Trying to talk someone into doing something they don't want to do is a recipe for disaster. Happy wife, happy life.
