Help!! My Wife Only Gave Me $10K
So here's my challenge. I want to start investing in RE but my wife isn't so thrilled. She says I can have $10K to start out with. If I can make some money using that she says I can have more. (Guess who pays the bills?)
So, I said to her, "How do you expect me to do anything with that?"
She says, "You're always on that Bigger Pockets website. Why not ask them?"
So here I am.
What do you all think? She says I have to do this alone. No cheating with Clubs, partnering up, etc.
Would you go for a mobile home? Vacant land? Can you make any money with $10K?

I think you're approaching this the wrong way. Rather than have to "prove" to your wife something, maybe you should involve her more and talk with her and make it a project both of you can get into. Otherwise it seems like a "you versus her" thing.
