I have a few bucks but horrible credit score. How do I start?

Hey everyone,

I just signed up for bigger pockets and I am interested in getting started in real estate investing. I just finished reading 'How to Invest in Real Estate' and frankly, the book left me with more questions. Im a 33 year old man, and I have over 150k in equity in my current home, 50k from my business, 20k in crypto and 50k in my 401k. My business cash flows around 15-25 k a month depending on the month, I work from home as a w2 and make 50k a year from that. 

However, my credit score is at a measly 586 last time i checked which was 2 weeks ago. When studying the strategies, i think the ones that caught my eye were BRRRR, Short Term Rentals, and House flipping. I dont know what book to read next so I can have a step by step guide on getting started or frankly, what steps I can take from here on to get started on this journey.


I am in the boise area and was wondering if you guys could advise me. I am excited to hear from you. Any added information I can provide, Ill be more than happy to.
