Any tips or things you wish you knew before starting real estate

I just started to read books on real estate mostly rental properties but I’m kinda scared to take action or don't know how to start exactly. Any tips or book recommendations or anything would help.

@Leonel Leon puente jr here are two books I would recommend:

Every Landlord's Tax Deduction Guide- is a really good book on taxes and setting yourself up for success as a landlord
