I pay for everything and he takes care of the rehab and acquisition and we split the noi 50/50. 

Not my concern, nor do I care who they send as long as the job is done. 

I was wondering if their was any tips or networking that anyone knows of that will help me on how to start the process.

The property is a triplex, converted out of an old house that's been taken care of very well (as far as I can see without a building inspector), so the water and gas are not split out into separate meters for the tenants (electrical is).In order to make this deal work, I'd love to figure out a way to invoice the tenants for those utilities.

What company does she work for that takes care of all of her bills?

<eye roll>Be careful.

I have made it clear to notify me if repairs are out of his expertise or just doesn't want to deal with them, so I can take care of them.

I have quite a bit of cash to invest as well as many friends and family in the area that could prove valuable in caring for a rental property.

I feel like that would be the only way to make the decision, it comes down to numbers and if everyone else is doing coin-op, you could pull it off even with the higher rent and probably no one would care.
