Investing together as a couple can either be heaven or hell. Each of you have your strengths and weaknesses. Combined, your strengths can cover each other’s weaknesses and make you a power couple, or your weaknesses can cause division and brood resentment. Investing effectively as a couple takes work, but in the end the results can be powerful. My guest today brings a lot of experience and practical wisdom to the table to equip you to create maximum efficiency to your relationship when it comes to finances and real estate investing.
