Question that has stumped me...I've been mostly looking in Jefferson County, Alabama and have discovered how to cross reference the Default Tax list with the GIS so I can locate and study the property (YEA!). 

Does the location stay the same?

Lenders also have a lot of other things they'll consider like:-Property Location -Local Economy/Population Trends (Figure you want at least 25k people or be nearby a city of over 100k)-Zoning - Building must be properly zoned for the amount of units it has-Experience (you have enough experience to qualify for a multifamily investment)The truth is there is no one size fits all answer because every lender has their own guidelines which is where a broker comes in handy. 

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?
