Hearing a lot of good things over the years with regards to utilizing overseas VA's (usually the Philippines) from my more successful colleagues.

What utilities are typical for a landlord to pay vs. tenant? 

I realize I will make a ton of mistakes with this, but I hope my mistakes wont cost me too much, either!

We have had almost 100 people already at one of our meetings!

They were at one of my STRs and wanted to know if the person staying in there had my permission. 

Those above formulas, holding all other things equal, would value a park with city utilities and private utilities very close in price when that obviously isn't the case.

I have been looking around on Bigger pockets for a month or so and do not see a ton of activity in my area (I might not be looking in the right areas of the site).

well  before you work with Jack you should treat him like a tenant..pull a credit report and run him through a criminal and general background check.if he balks you have your answer.it always amazes me that folks will jump into these large partnerships with a ton of risk and not even do the basic background on the partner.but rent some 12 dollar an hour person your rental and you would never do it without doing the above.now most folks will jump on here and say brilliant things like RUN  LOLbut lets be pragmatic here and just check the guy out first.. then when you have that info.. go from there.Also be careful on how you deal with the bank you don't want to put in a fraudulent application..

@Abel Curiel Thanks a ton!
