Others are commenting on the legality which I question, but basic physics tells me something's up. 

I strongly recommend spending as much time as you can afford, physically present in the neighborhoods you're considering. 

Spend the free time (however little it is) going to meetup.com (and other) real estate gatherings in your area for multifamily owners (to purchase you may need to partner with an existing owner as your deal sponsor with cash, net worth and experience to qualify for the loan).You're not going to learn this overnight, it's a rather large body of knowledge.Also while you're doing this hang out in this forum a lot and learn things here.A new job where you can Earn A LOT more money would also come in handy.In addition to that, read Rich Dad Poor Dad.Over time, other options to make money in this business may open up for you--so be open to them also.Good Luck! 

Due to physics, there is no way to overcome this barrier.

With the long term rentals, all rent payments are done online and the only time where we need to be physically present at the property is during times of turnover or major repairs. 

Doesn't have to be expensive if you're smart but just overall makes the house unique and stand out.I like the blue body color on the exterior, (it's kinda mid-century actually) but agree with @Linda S. and @JD Martin - that door color is bad.

Key is getting the property to appraise high enough that you have 20% equity after the increase in property value.5) Once refinanced into a conventional loan, you are eligible for another FHA loan and can repeat process (Including physically moving into the next property).

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where you think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then only then pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

You have legal if not physical possession.

We don't have a physical office, and I'm not really interested in managing agents, so I don't recruit.
