Starting our path to financial freedom

[Stephen Bennett]

So my wife and I have an unusual opportunity, and I want some guidance on what might be the next best steps to take. We purchased our home 9 months ago and now that the market is crazy, we have the opportunity to sell our home for a roughly $40,000 profit. We've always had a passion to become real estate investors i.e. flipping homes, but never really knew how we'd get the funds to do it. If we do go through with selling our home, and we are able to sell for a profit... what kind of funding should we go with? Who should we be talking to? We are moving to Charlotte N.C. if we sell and want to do a cosmetic flip. I have a construction and carpentry backround, and my wife is in the works of getting her real estate license. We are very serious about diving in but I want some input! I've been listening to audio books to educate myself but I'm just not too sure what the best route to take financially would be best... Any and all input is appreciated! I'm your sponge so give me everything you got!! Thanks in advance!!
