Looks like hot and cold (blue and red valve knobs on the left side of the manifold.)Can't see it clearly but it the other one may be a pressure guage on a valve.

The title is a bit open ended, but what I am referring to is the following as mentioned in the BP podcast on many occasions.Browsing unit listings in my target area and cold calling the person that listed the unit when it seems like a self-managed property.  

I have been frustrated since we always have acquisitions, full scale value add renovations and day to day management my current awesome hard working employees simply do not have time to work on business development, cold calling, networking etc.  

Judges do not like to hear a landlord would not fix a furnace in Jan in a cold place like Utah...... 

The lady got cold feet when it was about to close, and she backed out.

So cool.As an investor, you'll want to tap into your cold, analytical, numbers side. 

Websites are great, cold calling is great, mailers are great... just get leads into your pipeline... how you do it is up to you and how much money you have to start and how quickly you want to land a deal!

We told each of the buyers that we had multiple full price offers and that the only way they cold sweeten the pie was to lower the closing cost that we would have to pay.

I first saw it in the late 80s in Palo Alto when houses were being bid up 20 to 50k over ask.. in really hot markets on the west coast they are common.. but I think most of the deep south although great market competing offers and offers over ask is still somewhat rare.. and as stated the other agents had never heard of an escalator clause neither had my agents so I explained it to them wrote it out for them. so when they presented it to the listing agent it was clear what we were doing and of course end results I only pay 1k over highest and best.. got the deal and its a stone cold winner :)  but I was not going to lose it as we had as I stated build the other two on that little street.. here is a drone of it.. pretty coolhttps://vimeo.com/263639790     

There is this white stuff that is absurdly cold falling everywhere.
