Book/podcast for wife
My wife has agreed to get on-board with me getting us into rental property investing. This is very exciting for me, as my wife is extremely risk averse, but has warmed up to the idea over time. She asked for a recommendation or two of books for me to "assign" to her, or perhaps a podcast episode to two, to help her learn some basics.
For me part, I've listened to probably 30-50 BiggerPockets and BP Rookie podcasts so far, and I'm in the process of reading Multi-Family Millionaire. I have an MBA with an emphasis in finance, and personal finance is a hobby of mine, so while I'm comfortable with many of the concepts I'm learning about, my wife has fairly low financial literacy and next-to-no investment/real estate literacy.
I've "assigned" her Rich Dad, Poor Dad, not necessarily because I think it's the best book ever (there were a number of concept presentations that didn't really resonate with me), but because it seemed like a very adequate beginner's primer for financial mindset shifting.
What I would really appreciate is if someone could recommend a book or two, or a couple of specific podcast episodes, that I can give to my wife so that she can start learning enough to be involved in some of the decision-making process.
Thank you to everyone for the helpful advice given on these forums; it's been a great resource for me, and I hope we'll get to the point where it's a great resource for my wife.
