You may want to consider forming an LLC and using a conventional commercial loan.

I feel like I have my bases covered, but am wondering if I'm missing anything obvious or if you have any tried and true questions that help weed out the bad ones.Overall - can you help me get over the fear I'm having about handing my units to a company who (seemingly) will sweep in, re-lease to their paperwork (thus charging me 8 re-leasing fees), disrupt the tenant and their current habits (all of which are well-trained save for an older Section8 gentleman) and ask them to make changes? 

Just want to be fair but not charged unnecessarily.

Anyway, my state laws say the max a landlord can charge for late fees.

I recently had my first tenant move out and had to spend $5000 on the house after them.  I sent them a claim against their security deposit for $3200 (Deposit was $1000) for the damages.  This was sent within 30 days ...

Do you think a conventional loan or FHA would be better being my first property 

@Ryan Moore Debt coverage ratio is used on some loan types for 2-4 units, but the rates are higher than conventional. 

@Virginia ReasorVirginia,Since it is a 6 unit building it’s considered commercial ( meaning you would need to get a commercial loan instead of a conventional 30 yr mortgage).

They stand behind their work , its their reputation .Now , Chuck in a Truck who charges by the hour and does power washing , painting , bush trimming etc .

We both have experience in the single family realm having bought and sold several single family houses each on our own using conventional financing.
