One option I haven't heard anyone mention (because they're still fairly new) is MiniStays.

@Michael Almand, for a full line-by-line breakdown and scope of work, my preferred contractor will charge about $250 to walk the property but will credit it back if he and his team are given the job.

Make sure you have a bulletproof lease, treat the tenant fair but set expectations early on.  

Besides that, I have a credit repair and funding company that helps entrepreneurs get their businesses going.

If you have a good agent at Networth Realty they will get you a fair deal and keep both sides honest.

Mostly from a home equity line of credit.

It gives you the flexibility kind of like a credit card that allows you to borrow a certain limit and withdraw funds as needed.

The customer service side for owners is fairly lax.
