I’m the meantime I was able to find a new tenant who has paid the security deposit, first month rent, and has scheduled utilities to be transferred to their name but no lease has been signed yet.

I'd start by checking with your local REI groups if possible and visit a few meetings and ask who the local investors are utilizing. 

My favorite one is make sure they transfer utilities into their name BEFORE you give them keys.

That could be a very well invested $100 or so.Additional expenses I add are municipal inspection fees, inflate the cost of all repairs if your prop mgt company is handling them for their load onto the repair cost and utilities while you hold the property initially and with turnovers.Overall, I wouldn't say this is a bad idea if you know what you are getting into and are comfortable with it.

I can't speak publicly on much of these things but if utilize translator function GA Tech. has done some public disclosures themself of general strategic alignment and forward focus of things.
