I was exiting from my last business.I'm now focused on REI full-time moving forwards so there won't be another job or income stream outside of this.I do have tax returns that show some income but it's very minimal and basically just what trickled in the past 2 years.I have a good amount of liquidity in terms of cash, I have zero debt and I have a 750+ credit score.Should I approach them with the intentions of trying to get regular conventional financing?

I have a house I bought for $240K with the intent to fix and flip it. 

If that wasn't your intention, you should have been more specific.b.

When people used to talk about Pittsburgh, there was this sense of rock-solid integrity between men of good intent that used to be part of what this city was.
