My caution to you is it is really time consuming and a fair amount of work.

But not holding forever. 

There is a section of the website that goes over this I believe or you can search for events through the website. - Property Management - If you are looking to learn about how to manage companies, this might be a good place to learn those skills.

Like Warren Buffett says, his favorite holding period is forever.

Everyday I consume and take notes on what I read and watch. 

Heard these take forever etc?

Then by all means).ConsumersSo how are consumers feeling?

The software nerd 5 levels up is the one who does the bulk data entry saying "if it's 2-4 unit, here's this hit, and if it's cash out, here's the hit for that," and so on.If, at the Fannie Mae level, some hit goes away, but "Johnny consumer" does not notice it, and they can leave it in there, and take that extra profit, I'm sure you can see why they might have an incentive to do that.

The real estate/business lending space is HIGHLY regulated - the same regulations which aid you and protect you as a member of the LGBTQ community or ANY OTHER community also apply in the other direction and to all other consumers. 

Then follow those concerns with solutions, such as having a system in place for tenants to make maintenance requests (including in emergencies), why all of your spare time won't be consumed by these investments, being properly insured against hazards, etc.Your wife doesn't have to be passionate about real estate like you are but if you address the concerns upfront, it's much easier to get the ball rolling in the right direction.
