Getting the support of your spouse/family for REI

"Why don't you just get a regular job?"

"It's way too risky, what if no one rents anything?"

"I'm not signing any more deeds, don't even ask."

"There are vacancies? You'd better bail out before we lose everything!"

From someone who has been there, the support didn't come before money actually started to come in. It helped too when the accountant said, "This is no longer a small business and you have a winning formula."

So hang in there, success may come in small increments. Two steps forward, and one back.

Wow. You treat your wife with such disrespect. 

But don't worry, you won't have to deal with her worries after the divorce.

...and he won't have "a few grand" to throw either!

I was in the military too and that is a tough transition when you get out. All the "guarantees" that you had become limited. lol 

Ditto, semper fi

 

My wife actually said that I shouldn't even quit my job if I make a lot of money with REI because it wasn't "secure". lol Can you believe that? No job is secure. It only takes two words too ruin your day. "Your Fired" . A good business is totally secure. Think about it ...every job you work, it's been for somebody else who is at the top of the chain. They have a system in place. If they fire you, they hire someone else, which further secure's there business.

Ha, my wife was just fired this weekend on her day off! I think Ill take my chances with REI instead of working for someone else.  I am currently working towards my BA in Bus Finance but only to get a better paying job so I can have money to invest in RE.  I use to be in network marketing and one good thing I learned was always have a Plan B prefferably something that will give you residual income (RE).
