These are some very funny answers but, legally, know the law in your state. Some states require disclosure. Ask your realtor. Check out this case in New York.

I like Commercial Real Estate Investing for Dummies by Peter Conti and Peter Harris. Great textbook to be kept on the desk of every multifamily investor.

Nitanga, I happen to be located in NH. Many of my students are in NH. I'll get you a link to join one of my Monday Night Live calls so you can see how many of my students are involved in the business if you'd like. 

It's a marathon and not a sprint. Never stop learning. Ask every investor about the worst deal they every did and what they learned from it. Don't trust anything anyone ever tells you, verify everything! (I know that is a tough one but live by it and you will never regret it.)

@Angelo Russell and @William C. , Gentlemen, check out www.irr.com and download their 2019 Viewpoint report to find out the status of some of the top MSAs in the country. This is where some 'gurus' get their information to promote to the masses.
