What steps do I take in learning about buying a duplex?

I am considering about purchasing a duplex. My daughter would live on one side and the other side would be rented out.

What books would you recommend that read? How do I go about doing the research and analysis?

Thanks @Will Fraser  Yes, duplexes are fine, especially when trying to get more units within the Fannie Mae Freddie Mac 10 loan limit but I still like SFRs best of all.
