Hi, Chris
I agree with many of the entries that ‘converting’ your GF to the idea of property investing takes time. Like youself, I just got into property investing last month, and like others, have been into managed funds for years.
My experience is that when it comes to partners who are not as into investments in general as yourself, it just takes time. I worked my partner into managed funds, and now we are moving into property investment. She does not need to know the full details, but she is supportive of the idea.
Most importantly, managed your partner’s needs first. When her concerns are addressed, she will be more open to new ideas.
