I think your best bet will be to shop, shop, shop and see if you can find someone who has an opening.

My best bet is to find a distressed property in a good area and renovate it.

Next bet for you would be partnering with someone (you contribute to the DP) who does have some of basic qualifications a lender looks for or a co-signer.

I am looking for sites that are safe, easy to operate, and generate leads.

It's not as safe as the North End or Black Rock.

I’m not trying to get into debt Vs leverage here as I myself leverage but it could be a “safe bet.”

From here I would say that you should play it safe and Invest in something close to home and a few years from now if you move to Florida bring your Cash to get the best Deal.

You need a carbon monoxide and smoke detector in the required rooms, that is pretty inexpensive and safe.

I had a bad experience once, I bought a property a few years back and it had a safe in it, I didn't have the combinations, I bought it from a bank via a REO, I did find the phone number of the owner, called and his wife answered.  

I bet a lot if investors would like to have your problems.While it is nice to reduce taxes, paying taxes means you’re making money.Investing has to take our personality and risk tolerance into consideration.
