Transition from Residential to Commercial

Hi-

I've been investing in residential properties since 2006. I have flipped four properties and currently own 8 rentals, mostly duplexes, triplexes and a couple SFR's. I'm about to acquire another duplex and a 4-plex. I say this to show I am a reasonably experienced investor.

My realtor came to me the other day and said he may have 2 11-unit apartment buildings in about a year if I am interested. The owner is getting up there in age and looking to retire.

So if I have a year (at least - maybe I pass on these), what would people on this forum recommend for me to read/study/learn about commercial real estate and apartment investing in general? If not these apartment buildings it might be good to find some others.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
