<prompt> Human: My wife and I just had a baby and she quit her job to take care of him full time. On my salary, we make almost exactly enough to cover all of our bills and expenses, minus 8k of debt on a 0 interest CC until May 2016. That means no additional savings and if we have an emergency we only have about 3k in savings now.My wife has always been interested in real estate and it has the added appeal now of being something she can do at her own pace from home. Shes been attending courses on flipping and wholesaling, and is considering getting her license as an added resource for this project. Does anyone have advice on wherehow to start, and whether this is even a good idea?  <response>: This is going to require far more effort and time away from the kid than a 9-5 job, at least for the first year or two.
