The avg home-buyer wants to rent out home. What do they do?

[Brandon Paul]

From my conversations with Realtors and REIs on BP, I've learned that many realtors are focused on closing deals with the average single-family home buyer.

What happens if this average buyer decides they want to rent out their home? (traveling, moving out of state, etc.)

To be clear, I'm NOT ASKING what advice you would give to them. 

I'm asking what typically happens. 

Do they call up their real estate agent? Do they put up a For Rent sign in their yard on their own? Do they seek out a property manager?

How do typical home-owners handle this situation?
