Out of curiosity, do you use any tools for pricing optimization? 

For example if you have a mom and pop tenant based on 17 bucks a foot rent because that is all their business model can support but a national tenant wants the site and can pay 22 because of location not only can rent potentially increase but also that new tenant value can be a massive difference.Mom and pop at 17 a foot and an 8 cap for instance.Say 4,000 sq ft box X 17 = 68,000   (8 cap) = 850,000National tenant at 22 a foot. 4,000 X 22  = 88,000  (6 cap) = about 1,470,000There are expenses involved getting the new tenant but value difference can be massive.Leasing brokers can perform a (void analysis) which not only looks at rent comps for box size but also what existing tenants are in the market,saturation levels, and what possible tenants optimally could go in that space.    

An optimal BRRRR really requires that you purchase with cash (or something cash-like) and not conventional financing. 

They're usually faster and have equipment that makes the job take less time than a DIY person, plus if their fix fails for whatever reason tomorrow they should come back and fix it on their dime.But is saving money on DIY repairs the optimal way to increase net income? 

What I do: 1. find the current value (with the cap), 2. then make projections after I've optimized the NOI. 3.

I’ve had good results but am certainly open to optimizing this.

While I know the optimal deal involves converting all POHs to tenant owned, is there ever a case where keeping them park owned makes sense?

She is my go to for the exchanges and can help you structure things optimally. 

The best way to find them is to send out mailers.Some good lists to target are Absentee Owners with Equity, Seniors with Long-time Ownership and Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores.You can work with a list broker to optimize your list for your area.
