I have the same problem.

I have decided to try and explain in brief what I am doing … I focus not on the number of property … Yes I consciously refer to them as property and not homes/houses etc.

When we do sell a property (eg; if it is not performing as well as I hope it to, I reward my wife’s patience with a cash sum (basically a bribe) … so that she can see the fruits of our labour.

It has been a difficult task … hopefully she will slowly see the light and come round to what I am trying to do for the family and not what she thinks, as for my self (eg; surfing the net at late hours).

Hang in there …
