Now, I can do a lot of things with the space, however, as it is dry, has a loading dock, is at least temperature controlled (might be climate controlled as the building has been used for document storage for a decade), and has a dry fire suppression system installed and working.

The look on our realtors faces were priceless - I had a couple blank contracts in my portfolio so we wrote it up at 4pm outside... almost freezing as the temperature is in the low 40's.  10 minutes of paperwork and the originals are at my abstract now.

I'm unfamiliar with building codes in Chicago but in Massachusetts where I do HVAC work we cannot allow the tank to be less than 120 degrees as below that temperature bacteria can grow in the tank.

It's more affected by temperature swings and many installers don't take this into account - leading to buckling.

We put a thorough description in our welcome letter, our digital guidebook and our hardcopy guidebook, that explains the pool temperature situation.  

Assuming your tenants pay for electricity, boom, they pay for heat, and they can have their apartment at whatever temperature they want.

Currently, the owner pays all utilities.Clearly, it's not ideal to only allow one tenant to control the temperature (which is what the current set up is).

Junior-Senior year I was lucky enough to get into a welding program where I learned how to fabricate and weld steel and other metals.

Cap rate has been a quick way to take the temperature on my ROI of the my funds in the purchase and it's return as an investment, without clouding it with all the other moving parts.At the same time, cash-on-cash interests me less, as mine isn't particularly impressive.

Welded the pipes and recharged the Freon ($300).
