best way to further education on home design for my flips

[Mikki McIntyre]

I am currently working on my 6th fix and flip property. I want to further my education on home design. Obviously I have full time contractors that are doing the work on the rehabs but I need to learn more about redesigning kitchen layouts, lighting, flow, etc. Most "interior design" courses I come across are more focused on decorating rather then actual design. I would also like to learn more about the mechanical processes of homes. not looking to become an expert but at least understand a little more about how it all fits together. I live in the NJ and Philly area so any advice is appreciated. thanks

The National Kitchen and Bath Association offers courses that lead to certifications in kitchen and bath design. Of course you don't have to get the certificates to take the classes

As for your second question, there's a book called "How Your House Works" by Charlie Wing. There's also a college textbook called "Fundamentals of Residential Construction."

Good luck, Mikki.
