And I am going to be honest it may leave a bad taste in your mouth or my leave you wanting to dive head first into your next deal :)

Now you open your mouth about lawyers who ask you for advice, please name a few so everyone can verify your story.

I say put your money where your mouth is on "team building" :)

While I agree with you completely, at this point it's pretty much from your mouth to god's ears.  

If your serious,Put your money where your mouth is

This is where you have to put your mouth where your money is.

The less that comes out of your mouth to convince her and the more she hears and learns elsewhere from an independent source, the better.This may sound sexist and unenlightened, but it's been my experience that lot of women are raised to want two things before all others: babies and the appearance of a middle-class life.

One of my core values is that my words match my actions.In street vernacular, one could phrase this as “practice what you preach” or “put your money where your mouth is” or “if you talk the talk, you need to walk the walk”.I have invested in single family homes and smaller 2 to 4 unit properties since 1980 - forty years - a lifetime - and have done well with these investments.This year as COVID hit America, I had a conversation with a young investor buddy of mine about Covid’s impact on rent, the conversation led to a podcast recommendation about Covid impact on multifamily investing.
