It really came down to a time in my life where I want to enjoy it rather than continue to chase it.

Enjoy that life.  

It's a journey, enjoy it!

I have two friends who own rental properties and they are successful with their properties, I read Rich Dad Poor Dad twice along with Rental Property Investing and Power of Habit, I've been told by multiple people apart of the Baby Boomer and Generation X that they wish they invested in Real Estate at my age, I was a Resident Advisor at my University and I enjoyed that role so some of the skills are transferrable, and lastly this is the best time for me to take a risk.

I’m established in my career and not looking to make RE my full time but I don’t have a ton of capital and I enjoy modeling and underwriting and being hands on with management so the passive/syndication route isn’t an option.

Just tell her that she cannot interfere with other's "peaceful enjoyment" 

You also want to look at your liquid reserves because as you buy more rentals more PITI reserves are required and a Heloc can "Never" be used as an asset or for a PITI reserve.If you evver have any questions feel free to reach out I enjoy talking REI and I deal with them every day as  Banker.
