Any investors in the area with experience in dealing with Belair-Edison SFRs? The returns look promising on some of these homes; however, most of these properties appear to be geared towards Section 8 tenants (and by "most", I think nearly all of them are open to accepting vouchers). Additionally, I'm also seeing that a significant number of available rentals are in the 30-60 DOM range, some rentals with even more. While I like the potential returns, I don't have enough experience in the area to know if my base case vacancy rate of 10% is too thin given the market. I also have my base case R&M and capex percentages set to 5% each, which may be insufficient given the class of tenant. Any advice that can be offered would be much appreciated. Some of these homes appear to be in turnkey condition and I like the forecasted ROIs ... I'm just having a hard time finding confidence in these numbers given my inexperience with the area and demographics.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered!

Apparently vouchers aren't being issued right now.... a friend of mine has several rentals in bel air Edison and he has one that's been sitting for 3 months now.... not saying that won't change but just FYI....

I own a 3/2 SFH in Belair Edison that we bought for $125k as a (very nice!) turnkey. We are renting it to a Section 8 voucher holder (a single mom and two kids), and we got $1405 for it. This was recently...maybe we got someone in so quickly and easily because it was new? I'm not sure.
