How do I get my wife on board

[Tony Sessa]

Hi I'm a newbie to the business I'm looking to purchase my first property (buy and hold) I'm pre-approved for $100k mortgage. I don't have enough money for a down payment so I would have to use a home equity loan on my primary home. At first my wife was on board now she's having cold feet with using the home equity. I'm not planning on buying anything over $80k. How do I get her on board? Should I even bother using an home equity loan?
