For my own piece of mind and that of my contractors, I would have an asbestos evaluation done if the rehab was likely to disturb any, IE tearing up floor tiles, siding or shingles, but I'd be weary of hiring anyone that also does asbestos remediation as they are likely to overstate/upsell. 

There are so many requirements for containment and the employee health protection requirements it would take an hour to write about them.

At the mid-point (i.e. 3 years in) they only do an adjustment, but it is not based on a full evaluation/reassessment of each individual property -- a flat percentage is simply applied to a specific area to either increase all the values or decrease all the values based on recent trends.

I frequently work with Building / Fire Officials throughout the New England area to develop code compliance approaches for commercial projects or to assist with evaluations of commercial building acquisition.

From MY data, if you were to draw conclusions evaluating how everyone is doing marketing, everyone is doing it wrong.

Numbers first then, evaluate the neighboorhood, population, unemployment, etc. 

Explore some rent increase options and evaluate if you can offer any additional attractive lease-renewal options. 

If you're evaluating a market that it makes more sense in I'd just work with teams that can connect you with people they've successfully helped BRRR and maybe even people where things didn't go as planned.

I feel like once the VA is doing these things well and I've made an acquisition or two that covers the cost of them, I should be able to hire a "boots on the ground" 1099 employee that will show properties, interview tenants, do yearly walkthroughs, and check in on rehab projects. 

Rehabber's MPP = ARV - Repairs - Buying Costs - Holding Costs - Selling Costs - Financing Costs - ProfitMAO = Rehabber's MPP - Wholesaler's ProfitOften Rehabbers & Wholesalaers will use the 70% Rule to quickly evaluate a deal and then use the Max Purchase Price Formula to perform a more detailed analysis before the get the property under contract.
