Of course, those who have enough resources could do just fine living on their own if their home runs off the grid, has its own water supply and a garden, but not everyone can afford to set all that up on their own.Indeed it is great advice to focus on yourself, save money, disconnect from noise and build an empire.

The sellers of those homes are disconnected from reality.

She got disconnected, came back in with another sob story - her and the boyfriend were driving somewhere out of town, car broke down, they had to use the utility money to pay the repair bill, etc.

I disconnect everything and then have to take the sawzall to cut the housing to make it shorter .

If at any time during the term of this Agreement Tenant abandons the Premises or any part thereof or any of the utilities are disconnected, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, obtain possession of the Premises in the manner provided by law, and without becoming liable to Tenant for damages or for any payment of any kind whatever DEFAULT.

These might not be a good fit (but are considered comps) and hence, there will be a disconnect between cash flow analysis and appraised value (which takes into account comps). 

Might explain some of the disconnects between me and my Realtor.

Also, if you get an unwanted caller, you can mark it as spam and the caller will get a "this number has been disconnected" message. 

I have a clause in my lease that tenants need to provide me their utility account numbers, they cannot have service disconnected, and unpaid utilities will be deducted from the security deposit.   

@Bob Bowling and @Sajju Shah and @Michael BiggsI think the disconnect is, I think cap rate is a function of noi/purchase price and the value of a property is a function of the cap rate that investors are willing to accept in a given market at a given point of time.Thoughts?
