Don't get me wrong, I feel like a good PM is invaluable and have no issues paying one their 10% to properly manage my property and take away my headaches. 

.- While self-managing either type of property is possible, if you hire out property management you'll pay a higher percentage for a skilled MTR manager than for someone to manage your Section 8 property.- While MTRs can be any size property, the bedroom/bathroom count is really important, especially with larger properties.

I'm giving my 2 cents here as a former Cooperate manufacturing Project manager gone Property Manager:I think the pay structure you have currently is an awesome start! 

Both Prosper and Lending Club offer loans big enough to cover your 50% down payment.Something I would never recommend to most people, but as a last resort -- if you absolutely knew you COULD pay it off any time you wanted, you could put the down payment or at least a big chunk of it on a credit card and float it between 0% balance transfer offers until you get it paid off.

the period of time it was investment you will pay tax on. 

With negative cash flow you have to continuously pay out of pocket for repairs or upgrades.
