My wife and I are looking to dive into the market and start with a multifamily unit for long term (3-5) rental periods.

Repeatedly evaluating various properties for their potential Income, Expenses, loan payments, and cash flow will give you the skills you need to dive into your first deal. 

If it's in your area, the best way is to drive the neighborhoods, especially at night, and see how you feel.
