What are the typical vacancy and repair rates are you seeing for post repaired buy and hold rentals in these areas? 

There is a lot of money, that is sitting around and earning a low interest rate, or nothing at all.  

However the rates will be a little higher and (usually) only fixed for 5-7 years.

Expenses, insurance ect....once you have these numbers, you can estimate cap rate and NOI.

Why can't you say "My role is to find you a buyer who can pay cash and do it as quickly "  Give m"e 'x' days and if I can't do it then no harm, no foul"  If there is a drop dead date then don't take on those contracts if you cannot buy it yourself?
