Start picking the minds of the people who are already in the industry and see which side of real estate you would like to get into. 

With more than one unit, the biggest difference is that you have tenants complaining about each other and the property picks up more of the maintenance, like lawn mowing.There is a huge difference when you get to 5+ units as those are valued using the income method. 

Pick their brain.Lastly, I'd make sure their insurance policy names you as an additional insured.
