The advise helps. It a long road getting there but you need to

Crawl before you walk. 

I haven't really talked to her about any of it. 

I want bring $xxx.xx to the table and say I earned this

by doing this and there is more out there. 

I guess the big question now is,... How?

I'm grasping the ideas and feel this is something I could manage, but, Reading is one thing 

I'm a visual learner. My biggest hurdle at the moment funding, money down, to a Hard money Lender. I don't have extra money lying around in reserve for " a rainy day". i wish I did, well, I guess that's why I am here! I want to start a revenue stream, then pitch the idea and concept to my wife. Is it risky not telling my latest venture, sure it is! However; if I can complete a few small or one large deal that I can bring to her and say. i went behind your back, I didn't spend a lot of our money, and in return I earned this in profit. It will be a huge selling point for her because she can see it works! 

Problem, as stated above,  is I don"t have the extra cash in reserve to put 5%-10% down for a loan whether it be a hard money lender or bank. I know there is money to be earned in wholesaling.

Is wholesaling a good way to get a foot in the door?  

Build my wealth for the down payments to finance a flip?

What are some good resources her on Bigger Pockets or elsewhere I can read up on?

Feedback, thoughts, advise, and what ever is offered will be appreciated!

My name is Jacob. I've read about real estate investing for sometime now. For some reason now seems to be the right time to "take the leap". Do I purchase CD's? But into a guru? I'm curious if there any groups in the Capital District of New York that I can become involved with. I'm hesitant to say "Upstate NY" because there are many definitions of "Upstate NY". I'm in just north of Albany and just south of Saratoga Springs. I would like to learn my area before I branch out. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting started?
