Analyzing Tax Returns help

I've taken all kinds of CRE classes at NYU, through various sources sponsored by WSO and CREFC and ULI. None of them really prepared me for the analysis of tax returns of the businesses and individual guarantors. 

I've started a class at Shockproof, which was marginally helpful. I'm working at a start up, where I can't really pull prior examples to learn from. (We have 6 CRE deals on the books as of now). I also don't have on the job training - it's been a baptism by fire. 

Does anyone have recommendations on how to learn this skill without basically being a CPA? I'm really struggling at figuring out what to include in a global cash flow analysis from the tax returns. 

Thanks friends
