Spouse Not on Board?

[Karen Harris]

I'm new to BP and am venturing into buy and hold REI with a skeptical spouse. He supports me using my inheritance funds for investing, but chooses not to participate himself because he lacks confidence in and understanding of RE investing. I've asked him to read some good books with me on the topic, but he's just not interested. I'm thinking that he'll come around after I complete a deal successfully and he sees that it's profitable.

Has anyone on BP ever faced similar challenges with your spouse? If so, how did you handle it?

Sure would appreciate some advice here. Thanks!
