Help/Advice for a Beginner

Ok, I'm a noob on this site, and to brooklyn real estate. I've been living and working in NYC since '98. I owned a co-op in Bay Ridge from '01 to '05, and I've been renting a 1 bdrm in battery park city since then. I've recently decided to buy a brownstone, to live in one floor, and rent the rest out. I'm looking primarily at Carrol Gardens, Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill. I'm just getting started, using a Corcoran real estate agent.

I would love to get advice of any and all kinds. Suggestions re web links, articles, real estate agents, types of properties, usual problems encountered, etc., etc., would all be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
