Details of property:3-unitMixed useGround floor is a hair salonOther two units are residentialI will live in one of the unitsI can’t understand why this is an issue to insure.

Given my limited experience and understanding in this field, it's challenging for me to judge whether a real estate agent is suitable for my investment purposes.

While you may be comfortable that you are receiving a clean Title, you now no longer have insurance about the chain of Title prior to your ownership.Additionally, if the Title Insurance becomes invalidated (which is possible since you no longer have an insurable interest, a fundamental characteristic in insurance) then you should be in breach your loan convenant to have Title insurance is my understanding. 

Some kids don't understand what a contract is and it really helps to reach out to their guarantor in situations like this.

AneU_VTSiG...I'm reading this as - you can have either one roommate if you live in a house yourself or you can have two different people rent out two rooms in your house but that's it, you can't say get a 5 br house and get 5 roommates in.So I do not understand how people can possibly be renting out houses by the room but I keep hearing about on BP podcast and other places??

Unless you have tons of experience already with corporate management (or military command), it's going to take time to learn how to understand and manage the PEOPLE who are your tenants.

The upstairs tenant gets very mad about this, and I can understand that, as he works first shift, 12-hour days, and is being woken up in the middle of the night by the noise.

I understand that many agents think wholesaling fees are too high. however, I disagree.

First step would be to read as many books or listen to as many podcasts as you can to understand both the buying process and how to identify a property as a good deal or not.

It's a great way to get started IMO.But understand, at least in the market I operate in, there is no such thing as being "section 8 approved" before you have a tenant.You need to find a tenant, sign a lease, and only THEN schedule a S8 inspection.
