any advice for a commercial property noob to get started on research?

[slyrubies]

I've done a couple of buy to lets and I'm finding them profitable, but only just! and this is despite some very ingenious strategies and a fair amount of time and effort put in. Now I can see that it is likely that these residential deals will eventually become more profitable (in the long run), but everything I've read so far seems to indicate that commercial can be much more profitable, more quickly than residential...

So any tips for a noob? I mean sites to browse, books and magazines to read etc? Where would be a good place to start finding out more on this subject?

Much appreciated in advance =p
