It all depends on the condition of the property and the age of major replacement items like a roof or hvac systems. 

My population is about 75,000 with the average age being high 40's.

If I were your age again, I would start off right from the beginning, use the networking available here, tap the knowledge base available here and never look back or wish I didn't live as slave to a job that you have to perform in just to support your family. 

Considering my young age of 19, I sense the only way to earn respect and establish mutually beneficial connections is through knowledge and experience.

What other options do I have at such a young age?

Profits can be nice.. but many do these deals and on a 250k deal lucky to make 10k I know I had a sizable HML company here for 10 years I saw the HUDS.. was not uncommon actually for investors to write us a check when they sold.. given the age of the homes and competition...

I am the same age, but am just now starting to learn about REI.

-Is it safe to apply for an FHA Loan at my age & use renter income to help with the mortgage?

I'm fortunate enough, at my young age especially, to live my dream job racing cars all around the world which keeps me busy most of the time.
