Currently, I am religiously listening to BP podcasts while traveling or exercising.

Benjamin - at the MAREI meeting TOMORROW (6/13) Brian Winberry a local investor and the leader of WinVestors along with Rachel Bailey from Auction.com will be hosting the MAREI pre-meeting at 5:15 - their topic is buying at the courthouse.Both are also holding a full day workshop with other local experts on the same exact topic on Tuesday June 24th - if you look here on BP for events in KC, both are listed and the workshop on the 24th has a discount code to save you $20 if you register by TOMORROW!

The local franchise office team leader will be different in each office, but I've met that office's team leader and I think you should meet him and talk about your plans.  

I know it is sack-religious these days not to network on every social media outlet out there but truthfully I have never been into that.  

It reminds me when I was a kid, I grew up in a non religious family, and everywhere I go, people ask me what my religion is.

(Although I'd argue that if all of your stock is showing gains, then I'm not sure why you've lost faith in stocks, but that's a whole religious war that I don't want to get into).  

If you're looking to jump start everything, I would highly recommend subscribing to the biggerpockets podcast and listen to it religiously.

Ive heard RealVolve, Salesforce, Contactually, Insightly, Market Leader, Top Producer, Rethink, Zoho, Pipedrive, Apptivo, Bitrix 24, BaseSooooooo manyWas leaning towards Contactually but doesnt integrate with our local MLS here in Los Angeles but heard good things about user interface was good price tooNow Leaning toward Top Producer as some fellow colleagues have said good things about it, but its a little pricier @ around $40/month

Thus, I still expect to force appreciation another 10-20% in the next few years and cash flow much higher than San Diego.I learned all of this from reading Multifamily Millionaire by David Lindahl and religiously listening to Lifestyles Unlimited Inc. in Texas podcasts and attending their 2 day in Houston in spring of 2015.  

So, to get to your question, no she's not entirely on board with the whole real estate thing, but she's seen how it has grown me, how I've become more organized, driven, a stronger leader, a better husband, a better father (from all of my self improvement journey, not just real estate...but real estate started it all).
