The previous tenants disconnected the water softner and water leaked pretty badly for awhile.

Many of the leads that we have gotten, the owners did not want to sell or the phone number is disconnected.

So what do you do in a situation after you skip traced abandoned properties only to find out that a good majority of the numbers are disconnected?

Since both units are not working, check the disconnect outside to make sure it is on.

Just make sure to turn the breaker off before disconnecting it, and be aware that the cap can hold a charge that's pretty unpleasant if you get across the terminals with your fingers.

The charity agency told me that the phone number that they phoned her last time is disconnected.

We had issue with ours.. the water line to dishwasher had a backflow valve when the dishwasher was installed and the problem was when the line was pressurized (when water was turned on to dishwasher) it made the valve close, caused the error msg... we had to shut water off disconnect the line. and reconnect the line and had to barely turn water on at first until line was pressurized then on to full stream.. sounds crazy but might be a simple reset of something..

If they dismiss it, wait and come back in a month or two.Once you have a rapport with a lender or their agent, they may verbally tell you the a rough figure from the appraisal, but are unlikely to give you a copy (at least here).When a lender initially lists a foreclosed or power of sale property, they are more apt to set the ask price based upon what they are owed on the property - unless that amount is seriously disconnected with the market.    

I use a lot of tech and automation but I still have disconnected systems.

Remember, always always always make sure the upstream electricity has some type of disconnect(Main circuit breaker)for what you are working on.
