Involving Your Spouse

[Jason Pinkerton]

I'm sure many of you have been here. YOU are getting into real estate investing and are very passionate about it. You become so passionate about it, you talk about it a LOT. You want your spouse to be passionate about it as well, however, they don't see things like you do. You feel like you "get it" and see things differently (likely attributable to a book like Rich Dad, Poor Dad) and that they would get it too if they just gave real estate a chance. But alas, they want to play it safe and think your wild ideas are dangerous. So obviously having the support of your spouse is very important, especially since it will involve both your finances, positively or negatively. So how does one get their spouse involved and even excited about real estate investing? Just as important, how does one prevent turning them off from real estate investing (i.e. doing it the wrong way)? Thanks for any feedback!
