Convincing Wife To Keep Buying

Matt Buhr
Posted

Hello Bigger Pockets,

How do you convince your wife/spouse to keep buying when you have purchased your first two properties in 6 months? First property was a BRRRR and doing really well. Spent a lot of time on the first which took time from family of course on top of my W2. 2nd property closing on in two weeks and is already turn key as I promised her the next few would be more turn key. We have money to purchase more! Goal is to have two at least two more by the end of the year and opportunities are already arising while interest rates of lower! Thanks everyone for any advise and or experience!

    I see two options: proof or prize

    It's hard to show proof of success in such a short time period, so I recommend some kind of prize. For example, everyy time she lets you buy a property, celebrate with a weekend getaway or a real nice dinner or some other prize to celebrate together.
