You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Each town is a little different, some require you to do a landlord registration and/or will want to do an inspection before you put a tenant in (calling the town would probably be the easiest, or they may have the info right online).

Conventional loans are available all day long for rental properties, so long as the property is residential (1-4 unit) and not commercial (5+ units, retail, industrial, etc).

Even at retail, if you're paying 500k, they're generating 50k to 60k a year in gross rents by year 2.

You'll need good contact info for them to be able to collect, and ideally the new address for the tenant however which if you don't have can probably be found easily with some online sleuthing/ contacting their employer, skip tracing software, etc.

Then just yesterday, I come across the 1099 / 1099-NEC form requirements online from my own research.
