Outsider looking in

I currently have nothing, with no knowledge, and know nobody. I grew up very sheltered (never done a load of laundry or cooked anything over eggs and toast). I have no maintenance knowledge or experience and I hate mowing grass, which is why my wife (of 9 months) and I are currently living in an apartment. I have never had a credit card so I'm sure I have no credit to get a loan to start out my real estate profile. I have no idea how I am going to get started. 

Personal reasons for starting real estate:

Rich Dad Poor Dad has forced me to see that I need to achieve financial freedom and I am determined to make that happen. With a tool like BP I am confinced that even I can accomplish this. 

Rich Dad Poor Dad's Sales Dog book has sparked a flame in me to master the art of sales and communication. I quit my job and start my new sales job on Monday. 

My wife and I played the game Cashflow for the first time this week and we clearly have a negative cashflow every month. I have $2,000 left in savings, which is quickly running out. If that happens we will have to move back in with my parents which will not go down very smoothly. Since I have already not been following my fathers financial/job guidence.
