Where can I learn basic plumbing, HVAC, etc.?

[Pinaki M.]

I recently became a landlord and planning on growing. The problem is that I have almost ZERO skills needed for repairs like plumbing, HVAC, electrical, etc. Now, I realize that I don't want to do all of this work, especially as I keep adding more rentals to my portfolio. Nevertheless, having some knowledge is always very helpful. That way, at least I can hopefully diagnose a problem and outsource as necessary, or if it's small enough, just do it myself. Where can I learn these skills? I am a busy professional and want to make the best use of my time, so just tinkering around by myself is probably not the most time efficient solution for me. I have been thinking of taking classes. Does anyone know where to look for such classes that cover basic or intermediate level? Or any other suggestions? Btw, I do watch youtube videos from time to time, but I think being in a class will force me to be much more involved and hands on. Thanks.
