finance strategy for real estate investment help

[Stuart Day]

Hey Everyone, 

I have a lot of knowledge and experience when it comes to contracting, building, and real estate sales and MLS data etc...

The blindspot I have which I'm trying to fill is in the financial end of real estate investment. 

I know about cash flow, P&L's and kind of the run-of-the-mill small business ownership stuff. But what I've noticed is that the people who really excel in real estate have this whole bank of knowledge when it comes to types of loans, intricate tax strategies, and how to leverage money in ways that help with rehabs, investments, without requiring a lot of their own money or financial histories being attached etc... Short of going back to college and studying finance... what are some good sources of information on this side of real estate investment?
