It's good to hear of your tightly coupled (no pun intended) partnership with your wife.

You mentioned building a portfolio of properties and I suggest listening to podcast #151 if you haven't done so already.  This podcast talks about finding your freedom number to ascertain the cutoff for income sustainability.

It's fascinating to see that in spite of your busy schedules with take offs and landings, you still find the time to get involved with REI and most importantly take action.

I am sorry to see you leave my beloved state, New York but am sure you will make good networking connections in South Carolina.

You deserve credit for taking action, although you lack the skills to move the leads forward. Anyway, don't feel despaired.

You will need to bone up on the basics and continue to improve your education.

However, below are some links that will get you up to speed quickly. Please take the time to review each one and listen to the podcasts listed, you will learn a lot quickly.
