HOA management for a bunch of peripherally involved out-of-town investors is probably a great opportunity pass along overpriced contracts to your local buddies.

If you are not Materially Participating, the loss will be reported on Form 8582 and like be classified as "Unallowed".The ordinary loss from Schedule E cannot offset the Schedule D capital gains. 

This does not involve the utility company meaning that you will still have to go into the property, read the meters, then individually bill each tenant for their usage and understand the bill is still in your name.
