@Anthony Jenkins Welcome to BP Anthony.  I am a fix n flip investor from Summit County.  I but mostly in the suburbs of Akron and have completed 4 flips.  MY best piece of advice is don't get stuck in the trap of paralysis by analysis.  The best way to learn is to just do it.  

Ask questions and take advantage of this community.  Good luck in whatever you do.
