Hi everyone,
I was listening to a pod cast and on the pod cast they recommend to introduce myself. So here I am not sure what will come out of this. I have been a member on this site for a couple of months so far. I have read a few post listen to a bunch of pod cast, read the beginner guide on the website. I have also read a couple of books about flipping houses and estimating rehab cost from J Scott.
Right now at my stage in investing in real estate I'm trying to seek and learn about financing. I want to flip house and see what my options are to flip them with different types of financing. My credit score is 780+ been employed with the same company for over 6 years and have about 10K in the bank. I have a 401K that I can't use as a loan only can withdraw that I don't want to touch and I also have a Roth with vanguard which I rather not touch because it's a decent investment. If anyone want to give me some ideas to get financing to do some house rehabs I would greatly appreciate it.

@Stephen Frevold Welcome to the site. There are many folks from the area bumping around on BP. There is also the Akron/Canton REIA that meets monthly, where you can meet locals.
Everyone starts somewhere, but it can seem daunting at first. Get educated and comfortable with the process of RE investing and ask plenty of questions.
