First rental Sacramento

[Gitit Hefetz]

Hello All.

I need some advises. So I bought my first single family home in Sacramento. I bought it for myself but planes changed and I will be moving out of state. I know the rental market is hot in Sacramento but I'm not sure how much rent should I ask for it. Any suggestion other then checking in Rentometer? I'm not sure if its very updated.. 
Also- any Idea what can I do to make sure tenants will be paying? I heard this days landlords asking for 5 times rent to make sure they have some buffer in case the tenant lose there job and not paying

Lastly- how hard can it be to screen tenant and mange property when out of state? Will a property management company will have more tools and power then me if tenant doesn't pay?

 Thank you!
