Real Estate: Starting OutYesterday, I found out that my tenants had their water disconnected.

If Tenant fails to establish a utility account, becomes delinquent, or is disconnected for any reason during the term of this Agreement, Agent shall charge Tenant for the actual cost of utility use plus a $25 Administrative Fee for each invoice processed by Agent.

Phone number is disconnected.

In a way, depreciation creates a disconnect between the tax code and the economic reality of real estate.Some argue that depreciation accounts for wear and tear.

@Tim Ryan  there is a remote chance that you will get that unicorn tenant that stays in the home for years does not have a bunch of kids that trash the place.. that can happen... however these areas are transient at best..one way to see that is look at all the disconnected dish TV lines many of these homes will have 5 to 10 of those that means 5 to 10 tenants in a 5 year period or less..STRONG property management does not specialize in hood properties.. they lose their butts on these rents are low.. much tougher to collect and simply not worth the drama....

They are on the same path as before the 2008 crash and, in many places, prices are again completely disconnected from rents.

So am I every shocked by reality disconnect, no, that's the new norm. 

If a licensed Architect is necessary, that could be the disconnect if your first "Architect" was not licensed.

I have to constantly explain that other people work in offices but I work on my phone this is usually when I am picking them up from school, but I do try to disconnect when they first get out of class! 

The key is finding a reputable house-moving company in your area that can handle permits, utility disconnections, and logistics.
