The issue with having the tenant just pay you is that: you don't know how much utilities they will use (maybe they like a 78 degree house in the Winter, or take baths daily instead of showers); and the amount they use will vary every month. 

Moisture is usually the biggest problem esp in high humidity.

A good agent will be able to send you daily feeds of new properties on the market for you to sift through, can pull comparable sales ("comps") to give you an understanding of how the asking price compares to what's actually sold, and to give you a perspective of how the market has been doing over the past 12 or so months.
