That’s nice seed money to start with. 

You would take that 10th step, plant the stuff, and then as harvest approaches look at non-farm opportunities... work on that resume, plant those seeds, line yourself up for a harvest.

Could you ask your wife if there was a particular podcast episode or book that planted that seed for REI in her?

I will relay the top 3 rules an investor in my area relayed to me after his 30+ years in the industry: “Never lose your seed money.

Once a month is OK IMO and it doesn't have to be expensive, but it's crucial.It's easy to get caught up in day-to-day real estate stuff and let one or more of those things slide, but not focusing on generating referrals is like farming a crop and buying new seeds every year when the crop could self-seed exponentially.

It helped by allowing me to focus on exactly on the massive action required to build a real estate investing machine and quadruple in size every few months.In every adversity can be found the seed of an equal or greater opportunity.
