New to the Cincinnati area

[Kenneth Rukenbrod]

Hi, My name is Ken Rukenbrod and I just recently moved to the Northern KY and Cincinnati area.  I am a new investor and looking to get into rentals and possibly house flipping.  My goals for the next couple months are try to find a duplex I can House hack to start my real estate investing. 

My first question is what is the best option for financing my first home?

I've done a bit of research but not to sure where I should start.
