@Michael B.thanks for that idea, I have the kick plate removed, and we are running the dishwasher right after dinner, rather than scheduling it for around 2 am, and so far its working through this latest polar vortex.The kick plate had a lot of foam on it, I guess its mainly for sound insulation, but I suppose it was keeping the heat out from under the dishwasher, and the cold air from the outside wall was enough to stop the pump from operating?

I now oversee the day-to-day operations for our MEP, insulation/air sealing and renewable energy crews (which is actually only one crew right now; we're planning to expand to 2 - 3 crews this year).

It should not take long. 30 -60 minutes day should be adequate or virtual assistant can be hired for this task.

However, if I am remembering it correctly, the take away I had was that you should strive to operate like a business.

A high cap rate could be the result of a relatively high net operating income or a relatively low purchase price or a combination of both...

@Josiah Halverson I don't know the ins and outs of how those guys you mentioned operate but this has been my assumption.

One which has provided me the opportunity to successfully operate my contracting and property managment businesses for the past twenty some odd years.

Or NOI could be understated due to capital expenditures being reported as operating expenses.

All of this is negotiated and spelled out in your operating agreement your attorney sets up.Expectations have to be clearly defined and agreed to UPFRONT as equitable for all involved.

Pre-foreclosure is the niche I want to learn and operate in but it appears that I still have much to learn.
