@Jeffrey GiffinMy wife is similar, hopefully if I ever convince her to join BP and share my passion for RE she wont find this thread...haI probably had a leg up in that I already had one property when we got together so she's on board for more and has lived through a couple others.Not sure how you take care of your finances - could always start your own accounts or if you have your own, simply use money out of it, forego a large purchase (upgrading the car etc)Now might be as good as time as ever to hone your negotiation skills....Good luck!

What can I do to be productive towards my real estate investing that is my true passion and will be my full time job eventually.

It can be done, and I've yet to find a more rewarding investment/passion.

As a marketing guy, I'd say you really need to think about PASSION more than PAY.

But just a forewarning, if you don't have a love and passion for this work, the cards are stacked against you.

Real estate is a passion for me.

With all the fees involved, It'll take more money out of your pocket than it will put in your pocket if you're not passionate about it.

I've spent most of my life pursuing my passions, 20 years coaching high school and youth football, 10 years trying to become world class pool player (never close to world class but lots of fun).

Somedays you wake up and you are passionate - take full advantage of those days.

I didn't catch any passionate supporters posting, did you?
