If you hire someone to do your landscape - mowing the lawn, prune trees etc... on a monthly basis, you might want to drop by once every 2-3 months to make sure the lawn maintenance work is satisfactory.I suggest you personally go change the air conditioning filter every 30-45 days.These two combined should give you a good excuse to stop in to inspect your property without them feeling like you are watching them.Add to that the occasional need to go pick up mail (in case not everything is forwarded or changed), as well as actual repair work...you have plenty of opportunity to go inside without any specifically scheduled "inspections".I tell all my tenants up front I will come by every month to change AC filters, bleach the condensate line, throw some ice and lemon peels into the disposer.
