Thanks for sharing more details - we do agree that the PMC seems to be lacking in performing their services. 

I’ve found that C to B-class neighborhoods tend to perform best for Section 8 rentals.

For context, downtown Alexandria performs super well as a rental market and bringing in $5.5k+ as the monthly rental income if you choose to move out of the househack in the future will be absolutely feasible (depending on the property of course).

The data backs this whether it is derived from case Shiller top performing residential markets for this century or it is based on the data of the top appreciation markets in neighborhoodscout.  

In the end a solid turnkey company will still be able to provide a performing asset to their investors.

Summary: I’m currently working on a project to analyze rental market trends and help real estate investors, landlords, and property managers identify high-performing areas.

.—(1) Whenever money is deposited or advanced by a tenant on a rental agreement as security for performance of the rental agreement or as advance rent for other than the next immediate rental period, the landlord or the landlord’s agent shall either:(a) Hold the total amount of such money in a separate non-interest-bearing account in a Florida banking institution for the benefit of the tenant or tenants.

The only real, dependable income comes from a property that is a lot of work (well performing short term rental), one that is paid off, or one that you have owned for a long time to see rent appreciation. 

Past performance is no indication of future results.

We will see more investors walk away because the properties aren't performing well, but other investors will pick them up and the quantity will remain high.Rates are anyone's guess.
