There is a real disconnect between the type of properties that renters are showing preference for within a given market.  

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

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). 

Way too much disconnect for any reliable or accurate figures.The 2% rule is not used to determine how well a property is priced, nor is it to be used to determine whether a property's rents are "good" or not. 1.15% is not a strange number at all, properties in my area are lucky to hit 0.6% - all it is, is a super-basic and quick calculation that can help give you an idea of if the property may be able to cashflow or not.

Landlord got 5K plus $40 extra each month, never put a penny into the apartment by fixing anything and now disconnected her phone and ‘doesn’t care’ what is going to happen to my grandma!

Oh and if trash is not paid city will disconnect the water.

If it has a central air unit, it must be legally disconnected and the Freon or chemical recovered.Taxes must be paid, and lot rent if located in a park.Then you are ready to move the "free" home.

I find my own FSBO on Zillow and FSBO sites, but you can buy them from Redx as well.You will get a lot of wrong numbers and disconnected ones.

I'll be paying a licsensed master electrician I trust to verify the work and set the new meter and disconnect.

After driving for dollars and finding the owners we either find no number for them, a disconnected number, or they are not interested in selling.
