How do I learn more about construction?
Sometime in the next few years when equity frees up, I would like to rehab a house. I feel like I need to know more about how houses work in order to do this instead of solely relying on bringing a contractor out. I want to be able to go look at houses on my own and be able to have more of an educated guess on what all needs to be fixed and how much it may cost. Also, I would like to just be more knowledgeable in general about my personal rentals, how to troubleshoot issues (plumbing/electric/etc) instead of just relying on what a handyman tells me. My first idea was to take construction management courses at my community college. Is there a better way? Thank you for any advice!
