Best way to learn to rehab

I am curious about different ways people learned to rehab/fix up houses. I am in the Minneapolis area and looking to do either live in flips or live in/buy another and rent out strategies. I have seen people learn from YouTube and also habitat for humanity, but am wondering what else is out there! Thanks!

Mirroring what @Evan Kraljic recommended, Jeff from Home Renovision on YouTube is my favorite DIY videos. He does a GREAT job explaining things and also doesn't do patch/cheap jobs. So I feel I'm learning the RIGHT way to DIY, not jimmy-rigged fixes. 


I'm currently doing my 1st bathroom renovation and hired a 22yr old neighbor kid who just graduated Tech school to help. I am paying him per hour, but it's still way less than a contractor/professional. Besides saving some money, I'm also learning along the way, so hopefully I can do my next bathroom myself. (however I'm realizing having a 2nd hand is nice) This could be a good option to get some more affordable labor, yet still have someone who has a technical background help. Reach out to local Tech schools and see if anyone is looking for part-time/side work. Just a thought.
