Looking for a good short term rental training program or reading material to better my knowledge in that area of real estate. Any tips or advice if I wanted to get started doing STR?

When I see a rehab property I am looking for repaint, reface cabinets and paint cabinets. Maybe new back splashes and table top, new doors if needed and trim to give the house a new look without doing too much. Most properties I have been looking at…I normally just watch and see what they go for as I am not too comfortable with fully engaging in the real estate market because I don't fully know what I am doing. I do notice a lot of ADU's going in because housing is an issue where I currently live and people are also turning a single family home into two separate units. There seems to be a lot of opportunity, but like I said I need to learn more to feel comfortable diving into real estate investing.

Currently my wife and I own two homes, but see some opportunities to purchase properties near us that need some renovation.  I know that there are some loans out there that you can purchase a home and include renovation costs in your loan. Was wondering if someone could point me in a good direction for some reading materials to make me more literate in the process or could help in in muddying the waters on how you could purchase, renovate, and rent it out while making it a positive cash flow.  Maybe I’m asking too much…mostly looking to better educate myself?
