Document everything, including all conversations with her.

I met him and had a conversation with him, he's not a phony person, nor does he want to steal anyones money.  

I don't get into deep conversations with people who aren't interested or are nay-sayers.

Finally the time has come to enjoy the fruits of my harvest and, just like that, after a 5 minutes conversation, all has vanished.As you can tell, I'm still licking my wounds.

. :)  EDITED: I also see I'm way behind in the conversation, sorry about that, and I agree with most, it's what the value add really is, but many think they are much more valuable than they really are.

Personally, I would just stop that conversation where it is and delete her comments from the thread.

You run your own business and do what you want, when you want, where you want.If you want to know a little more than I can type in a single message, I'd be happy to talk over PM or have a conversation over the phone with you and your wife :)

Never know when something picked up over a conversation can help you.

Here are a few recommendations for you:Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsIf you wish to tag someone in the conversation on the forum, type @ followed by their name and then select that person below.

You can then post ads in the coffee shops and hangouts close by or even see if you can strike up a conversation with a techie and get the information you are looking for.
