Property Inspection Coursework

[Matt OToole]

I am planning to house hack spring of 2018 by buying a multifamily property and living in one unit while renting the others.  I'd like to learn more about building construction/codes this winter.  Likely will buy something in  Chicago or surrounding suburbs

Would it be beneficial to take a property inspector course like this one ? (its pretty cheap).  Not to become certified, just to learn.

Or can anyone recommend any books or other reading?

Thank you!
