Learning renovation skills
I’m interested in investing in real estate through the brrrr method and want to do as much of the rehab work myself for the first few properties. Does anybody have any recommendations on where to learn rehab skills? I’m looking for things such as blogs, books, Youtube channels, etc.I know a few basic things such as painting, drywalling, and mudding, but I would like to learn a lot more. Any responses would be much appreciated

There are lots of good channels, but (and this is coming from someone who used to work in construction) the gold standard is Ask This Old House. They don't skip steps like the amateur channels, the production quality is great and everything they do is up to local code. Also, if you search, say, "how to replace a water heater" and their video comes up, you will see other videos from other channels on the same subject. After you watch several, you will see different variations and problems that are likely to encounter and can deal with it because you've seen it done a few different ways. Just my .02
