Jumping into REI, Pittsburgh PA

Hello BP community, I am a new'er RE-investor in Pittsburgh, PA. I have been interested in real estate investing for a few years. I finally took the plunge when my wife and I purchased our first home that has a rental apartment above the detached garage.

With our "first" deal done, I am eager to get more properties under my belt. I have gone through the new BP REI-Getting started guide a few times already. As I continue to move forward, I keep getting doubt and discouragement from family. I have taken the time to do my due diligence, follow my criteria relentlessly, set up legal entities to help protect my personal assets, and assembled a team of trustworthy professionals.

What am I missing to ease the doubts of my family?
