40 somethings ;) starting a new adventure

[Trisha Spear]

My husband and I are just starting out, putting out our feelers in real estate. I run a couple businesses, and hes looking at retiring from his law enforcement career of 20 years.  He is nervous, leaving comfort for the unknown.  But anyone that has lived law enforcement life knows how much it takes from you and your family.  He has given 20 years, its time to move on. But we are totally new. I want to ease his fears a little. This is worth it right? We can do this right?  In the research mode right now, but I know you can over think and not take action either. Any suggestions for jumping in with both feet.  We are ready to be aggressive.
