I have recently begun my REI business and purchased my first duplex. It is about to close (next week!) and I have planned the renovation and am ready to start improving the asset prior to renting out. I have been on this journey of acquiring the knowledge, connecting to awesome people and asking questions since September 2018. I have kept my wife in the loop during the process and let her know about everything I've been doing and learning and she has been very supportive.

She is from MX and English is her second language and is in the process of preparing to take the TOEFL as she recognized that she need to improve her English prior to going back to work.

She mentioned the other day that she'd like to be involved in the business and maybe she could manage the properties that we acquire.

I'm looking for feedback from the community on how to best coach and encourage her without pushing too hard (understanding English makes the learning hard).

Thank you, very grateful for your responses!
