Anyone know much about being a landlord? Wife is thinking of picking up some rental properties.

BTDT. The biggest issue is finding a really good tenant. And you need to be handy at fixing things yourself. I rented my old house for several years. That was a pain in the butt experience for me, that I don't want again. Get a rental property that is easy to get to, at almost any time, and be ready to fix crap that is no major problem, but it will always take a trip to the big box store, and most of a day of your time.
I hated it, and was happy to sell the place and be done with it.
