I know that FHA requires you to live in it, but I own my own business (aside from real estate) and can be "re-located" out of state.  

Save that text message or email to the previous tenant, especially if they acknowledge they received the message.I would also take a precautionary measure to photograph where the vehicle is located and photograph the condition it is in prior to the tow.

I know the other factors that come into play such as location, average rent, etc.

I'm still in search of someone there.Anybody have some good locations to pick up: granite, tile, discount vanities, fixtures, doors, windows, flooring, appliances? 

Seems I might need to locate free and clear properties only.Thank you Gilbert. 

I have some experience, having knocked down a drive through location and replaced it with a national food service company in a nice town and then also purchasing a historic bank building and leasing it out as office space. 

Where are you located?

I am located in MI and would like to start my investment from MI.

Just in general, what makes you invest outside of a 100 mile radius from your location?

And if they don't deal with you, everything's going to fall apart.To review, the RPM method is recognizing the property, locating the person and then making the deal.
