Hey Culby! I am in the DFW and have been talking with Timothy. Hopefully we can connect on something soon.
AI Deal Analysis?
Is anyone utilizing AI to analyze deals? I built an acquisitions analyst in Claude to help screen and score deals. I find it extremely accurate and saves me a ton of time. He scores - Pass, Watch, or Go, with a detailed analysis. Love to hear about other's experience.

@Will Skillman This is great. I've been working on something similar. I am curious, did you weight each criteria yourself or leave it to Claude to come up with best practice?
Sensitivity Analysis
Cody Payne touched on the importance of rent comps in today's call. Just curious how many people build a sensitivity analysis in their underwriting. I find them invaluable in identifying and mitigating risk. Anyone else, or am I the only quant nerd in the community?

Yes, we run various sensitives in our models.
You have to pick one…
A question for those far more financially savvy than me: Suppose you could pick one park between two. Each park has a 9% yield on cost. The first park has contractor tenants using an efficient build design for your buildings. Rent is $12-$14 per square foot. The second park has retail tenants ranging from youth sports coaching to Internet, startup and interior decorating with a showroom. Building ranges from showroom to luxury level finish. Rent ranges from $16-$20 a square foot. Which park would you choose, ceteris paribus?

This is a debate we are having frequently. Currently we are leaning into the well located, class A product with higher barriers to entry and potentially a better exit. There is certainly a need for pure contractor garages outside of city limits but we are not seeing a lot of barriers to entry or product differentiation. On the other side, you really have to be confident in achieving higher rents inside city limits.
Underwriting Target Metrics
I would be interested to hear how people are underwriting development deals in this environment and general strategy, hold period, etc. Land price and build costs in the DFW are making it quite challenging to find deals that are hitting 8%+ yoc as a conservative base case. What spread or other metrics are you targeting for development?
