I don't know what to do

I'm 23. I'm from Columbus, OH. I've finally decided to pursue real estate. This is something that I've held off on because I thought it was too far fetched. Now that I'm educating myself on becoming a real estate investor, my husband is telling me that it's not a bad idea BUT... not right now and that I should focus on saving. Maybe find something else to invest in for the time being because he doesn't believe in our market. He believes that my success would come from luck. I tell him that educating myself on the matter is the best thing for me right now so that I can come to that conclusion if he's right.

He insists on continuing with his rant.

Any advice? Should I wait on this pursuit or should I continue to push forward?

Continue to educate yourself and try to bring him along. Maybe get a book on investing and have him read it.

I would strongly recommend avoiding you moving forward on something he's not comfortable with. This needs to be done as a team.
