Testing the waters

I'm a landlord for my 1st house and always thought about how cool it would be to wake up to direct payments and search the estate and foreclosures ads of the paper to some coffee before stopping into a prospective project. They just started with all the brothers buying houses and flipping them, yelling at each other and always a set back before the commercial ... But, to me, that was interesting stuff. 

Eventually, my wife and I could see very obvious differences between us and went our separate ways. My next relationship was something different. We want out of what we do. We do what we do because it's stable and reliable work but we have more ambition. 

Mainly, financial understanding is something we can do well enough, together. She's a speed reader and I'm a doer. We are both on here and trying to get it together.

Any mentors out there?
