Having trusted boots on the ground makes all the difference when you can’t be there in person.

I spoke with the one I suspected forgetting to turn off the stove but the person did not confirm.

Under any scenario, any state, someone who sits on their rights and lets someone get into the weeds to the benefit of the person who sat on their rights, will NOT have those "rights" enforced by the courts.  

Definitely a personal question. 

I agree with Andrew’s comments particularly because this is a home you personally lived in and know intimately.

Personally I pay $300 commission to get the new tenant, 8% of rent collected, and $150 for renewals.

I can provide support of checking in on contractors, staging rental properties, walk potential leads to give you an idea of the property in person or what the area is like, meeting with agents, and drafting scope of work for projects. 

@Travis Timmons thank your for sharing these details in your personal experience.

I personally would recommend it but it isnt the best run 3 day. 

Personally, if the property is in a bad area, this will give you headaches no matter what.
