I am slowly getting comfortable with pulling the trigger soon but would like to know of quality/trustworthy agents, mortgage brokers, and property managers in the area that I could utilize since I am not physically in the area.

Again the above was my view, because that's how I utilize Plus.  

This way, they will end up with a higher return than if they sold as-is, and we save significantly on loan costs usually associated with flips.The only thing they incur is holding the house for another 8 months and paying what they are already paying for prop taxes, insurance, utilities, etc.

But what about Realtor fees, ongoing holding costs during the rehab and until it sells (like utilities, insurance, etc), interest on the LOC, taxes, etc. 

He pays utilities/water/cuts grass.

Question is: are there any other websites, normal local resources (other than other investors at a local REI club who do invest in that neighborhood) that I'm missing out on checking what the prevailing norm is in terms of which utilities tenants pay?

We also have a lot of work on the Title II side left to do with higher utility.  

Moving appliances means moving utilities needed to run them. if you want to move a gas stove, you'll have to rip out wall behind it to re-route the gas line or re-direct a new gas line from somewhere else.
