I am able to make 50% down payment but i wont have much financial available for at least 1 years emergency fund if something went wrong.

The folks that do that work know what they can charge since your basically captive  IE the house wont work with out a new line.

Just have to diversify so one thing doesn't destroy your investment account.  

i used FHA for the first property so it may take me much longer to have enough money to buy the second since it wont be FHA but I don't want to wait several years. are there any other strategies to buy properties quicker or do I Simply just have to wait until I have enough cash?

On the election: Trump in the WH wont make a difference.

I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.

By installing our own, we remove the wear and tear and damage the tenants do by moving W/Ds in and out and hooking them up wrong (which is common) and using cheap components that cause leaks and destroy floors and walls.

My family sees no end in sight to this trend and it has destroyed all of the cash flow they once received.

You wont' get rich from it but you can scale much faster.
