Possible to Get Started with No money, and having bad credit?

Title kind of says it all.  My father wasnt a great guy destroyed my credit and it could be years before i finish fighting all the damage he did and getting it removed from my credit history, and then actually establishing good credit after that.  Last i checked my score was in the low 400's for all 3 credit agencys so financing is completely out of the options.  As for savings even with a full time job making $12/hr and living in the cheapest 2 bdrm apt. i can find (I have a wife and son) i barely am able to afford bills and food/necessities.  and thats working 60 hours a week.  Im tired of being stuck. And real estate has always been something ive been interested in but always seems like a pipe dream for me due to the above reasons. I recently read a few articles about it being possible to get started without any money at all, and inability to finance.  Is this true, or were these articles just blowing smoke up my arse?

Beware of anyone claiming you can make $100k a month at anything...
