ZIP 95852, located within the Sacramento--Roseville--Arden-Arcade, CA HUD Metro FMR Area, can serve as a cash-flow anchor in a Section 8 portfolio strategy. The Fair Market Rent (FMR) for FY 2024 is set at $2030. Given that the market rent and median home values are currently not available, we must rely on the FMR as a benchmark for rental pricing.

The role of a cash-flow anchor is to provide stable and predictable income. ZIP 95852 fits this description due to the following reasons:

Predictable Income: The FMR provides a fixed rate that landlords can expect to receive through Section 8 vouchers. This ensures a steady cash flow regardless of market fluctuations.
Limited Risk: Section 8 properties are less exposed to risks such as vacancy rates and delinquency in rent payments because the government guarantees the payment of the voucher amount.

To further solidify this position, it's important to note that while the specific percentages for price-cut shares, days on market (DOM), and renter share, as well as the median income, are not provided, the reliance on government-subsidized rents means that landlords do not have to worry about finding tenants willing to pay above-market rates. The predictability and security offered by the FMR make ZIP 95852 an ideal choice for maintaining consistent cash flow within a Section 8 portfolio.

Data Sources: FMR data from HUD (2027).
