I have been researching real estate investing for a while, on and off, and was able to purchase our first home in Dec. 2017 and want to actually jump into the investing aspect of things.Best regards,Nick

This legal description is what will define the new parcel on any future deed or contract.

The substitution/extension aspect of the group lease takes most of the burden of finding replacement tenants off the PM and let’s the household members find their own new housemates. 

If they are deadbeats you may get nothing but I have heard on this forum they they do eventually get paid back, even years later, so it is worth a try imo.If you stick with this company or use a new company be sure to have a clearly defined policy about how non payment of rent is handled.

However, what is defined as multi family according to USDA?

The issue becomes the 'valuation' aspect, and their goal is to offset the value to the maximum extent possible. 

I'm still working to define my niche, but I don't think it'll be 100% investors or 0%, rather somewhere in the middle with lots of owner occupied larger transactions in the mix.

I can't wait to meet people in the field of R E and in other aspect of Real Estate! 

Thinking about getting a management company in the interim so I don't have to deal with the week to week aspects of being a landlord until I get good enough that I can quite my job down the line.  

Starting with firing your PM and then deal with the tenant as your attorney advises.When you are looking to hire a new PM, have your attorney draw up a contract that defines the nature of the relationship you hope to have with the new manager, and ask to see a copy of the PM's Policies and Procedures Manual.
