Once she understands that you aren't going into this with rose-colored glasses, that you understand the risks and have a plan to get around them, she may be more open to moving forward.Honestly, it's really easy to be supportive of a spouse's goals as long as they are some nebulous, "in the future" goals or dreams and they don't require any actual work or commitment from you yet.Be patient.  

@Roy Glass D areas can be profitable but only if you know what you are doing.

When a tenant moves in halfway through the month, they charge the full month up front and then half a month of rent for the second month.

Meet this tenant halfway at $50 and try what @Ryan D. said about passing on other costs.

He asked me what was my net worth like and how much liquid cash I had in the bank and boom there he just stopped me half way through our conversation that there was no way I going get an offer from the bank if my net worth was nothing closer to the down payment for the property.

The place is really in perfectly adequate condition, but our plan is to go in and take it to the next level... replacing carpets with wood plank tiles, installing glass tile backsplash , staining kitchen cabinets dark and adding satin nickel pulls, adding stainless appliances, a dishwasher, disposal, built in microwave, resurfacing countertops...

It had beautiful hardwood floors & built-in cabinetry with old lead glass doors & an old butler pantry with the same glass doors etc.We found out that the last offer of $28k was denied conventional financing because the home had a poorly built addition with mold on the ceiling.

I'm willing to learn from anyone knowledgable and willing to teach.MY NEWB QUESTION: Ive listened to a few podcast so far(200, 207, 208), I'm half way through the beginners guide read and I've done a ton of reading in the last year while improving my financial position (credit score, debt) and BP is the the first place where I am able to read 'Game' from all types of investors without all of the fluff I usually encounter.

These minor issues can include gently worn carpets, loose door handles, fading wall paint and flooring, stained bath fixtures, lightly scratched glass, and dirty grout.

When painting my house the painters got bright blue paint on my custom made screens so they decided to cover it up with black spray paint...only problem was they left them on the windows so now there is black spray paint on the window glass ...ughhhh
