Figure out where the curve optimizes for your situation.Yes, this intentionally does not include property appreciation, changes in rental amounts, value add capital expenses, or rate of change in Opex.

This consumes a lot of the extra cash value that you had at the beginning.If you have a lump sum, the optimal funding period is 5 years.

Then I did an IRRRL a little down the road to optimize the interest rate. $8k lender credit minus paying $120 more for six months minus refi closing costs = came out ahead a couple grand, relative to taking the par rate. 

The first derivative of jobless claims approaching zero is often a leading indicator of recovery;- Stocks have hit a 1-year high, indicating increased optimism.

What I'd like to do is use it to run Monte Carlo simulations on capital mixes and see where my optimal profit will occur.

I still would argue that sending a direct offer is the most efficient way to get the most motivated sellers and optimize your time, but you could split test and see which method works best for you.There is no "best way", only what works for you.  

I agree with @Elizabeth Sylvince, NY, CA and throw in NJ are not the optimal places for newbies.
