getting your spouse on board
Hi All. I have been looking at properties and possibilities in eastern Ontario Canada A duplex to full time rent and a lovely little stone house that has had great success on air B&B . My wife has had cancer, operation and treatment started last Oct. She is good , back to work and life but lots of emotion going on. Based on this she has no interest in adding new things to her plate. I personally believe its time for huge changes and ready to do so. My question is, what can I do to show this is a better way, a healthier choice and future. Or am i wrong and should wait a year? Neither of us are crazy for our careers and the continued 9 to 5.

My wife's journey when I started buy-repair-hold SFHs 12 years ago.
SFHs 1-5: Are you !&$#@! crazy?
SFHs 6-10: Hmmm, this could work
SFHs 11-15: Wow, this really does make money
SFHs 16-20: So !&$#@! glad I thought of this. Life is good. Pass me another Margarita.
