Sure, the Federally backed products come with higher inspection criteria so you can't buy the crappiest property out there, but its a way to get started.I don't know your market at all, but perhaps you should get a single family or multi-family as a long term rental.

cash offer and closing in 45 days or after inspection and deed search.
