I took on a partner because I am in the process of moving to Florida but did not want to lose the ability to work this connection from there.

If you can afford to lose the money and not lose sleep, the go ahead. 

Better hedge against vacancies i.e. duplex one unit is vacant still have another to cover mortgage; single family goes vacant lose all gross income for that month2.

I am thinking that because I would lose my em that I will probably go ahead with the deal even if they don't fix the burst pipe.

You can use GetResponse, Aweber or Constant Contact..these are the to players when it comes to autoresponders.
