But, it doesn't cashflow well because rents are low (just raised, but the properties are odd and don't garner top dollar) and the utilities are high (expensive to re-meter; owner is responsible for expenses).

We are no longer having to float the mortgage and utilities at this point, and won't have to for awhile. 

This option would give me a monthly income of 2,700 per month.All loans are around a similar interest rate it looks like. (5%)Amounts are after utilities, taxes, and all other expenses. 

Rents, property tax, utilities, etc.

You can also call utilities to show that she's not paying those and moved them out of her name.

Any NH specific recommendations for: timber companies or mills, creating roads, connecting utilities, surveying and marking land boundaries?

I would love to get the time back though.For example, I have logins to 2 banks, plus 6 property management companies that often utilize temporary one-time passwords that are sent by text upon logging in. 

Or, as many of my longer term tenants have found out, they are spending way less than the neighbors on utilities. 

So yes if you manage yourself they can make a bit more but you are also laying for utilities, furnishings and any time a sofa is broken or a TV is stolen you have to replace it and is a sunk cost. 

Shouldn't have any utility expense.
