[quote=Anonymous]Agree with seeing a financial advisor.

As for the rest:
Having a baby, especially one with colic or who cannot sleep through the night, can lead to post-partum depression and wreak havoc on your marriage. Now if you're adding another kid into the mix, plus fall-out from real-estate investments... wouf! So be aware that you both have to calm down and focus on priorities. Let go of the small stuff.

A family of 4 in a 2 bedroom is perfectly do-able! My family of 4 lived for a year in a ONE bedroom - all four of us in the bedroom (DC1 in a crib by our bed, DC2 in our bed). Our neighbors were 4 in a 2 bedroom.

We are Europeans, and most French and British kids share rooms with their siblings or family members - this is what many people around the world do! You can sleep with the baby in your room while it still nurses at night, and then put both kids in the second bedroom. It might also promote bonding as a family with your nephew.

So if it helps move the discussion forward, forget moving into a 3 bedroom for now. Your husband will realize soon enough that you will need to move after some years. For the other condo: try increasing the rent first (I agree that in ideal circumstances you should keep your real-estate), and if it becomes too hard to rent, then sell.
