Help!! My Wife Only Gave Me $10K

So here's my challenge.  I want to start investing in RE but my wife isn't so thrilled.  She says I can have $10K to start out with.  If I can make some money using that she says I can have more.  (Guess who pays the bills?)

So, I said to her, "How do you expect me to do anything with that?"

She says, "You're always on that Bigger Pockets website.  Why not ask them?"

So here I am.

What do you all think?  She says I have to do this alone.  No cheating with Clubs, partnering up, etc.

Would you go for a mobile home?  Vacant land?  Can you make any money with $10K?

I think you're approaching this the wrong way.  Rather than have to "prove" to your wife something, maybe you should involve her more and talk with her and make it a project both of you can get into. Otherwise it seems like a "you versus her" thing.
