It's wise to stick your toe in the water first and fail fast in a small way if you're going to fail, right Vanessa?

I am cold calling owners and they are just laughing at me with my offers at 8% caps. 

Winter's are cold and summers are hot in northern Cali. 

Just starting out and testing waters for BRRR in Chicagoland area.Any advice or suggestions regarding this?

They'd also probably be more aware of how much water, gas, or electric they are using when they have to pay the bill after each cycle.  

At the water heater the cold line in will calculate all usage.

Marcos here, owner of a cold calling agency with the best callers and VAs English/Spanish speakers from south america, we can help you with that!  

Maybe the P trap under the sink is not filling with water correctly and allowing sewer gas to come back in.  

Each of the 5 warehouses on this campus will require updates (construction of offices/bathrooms, roof repairs, paint, siding repairs, new penetrations for doors, updates to electrical, insulation, and extension of water and sewer). 

With that in mind, you'd also have to make sure the land you'd buy has water and electric running to it already.
