Couple things that come to mind are schedule a regular landscaping company to trim the lawn, make sure utilities are on but shut the water off at the meter just in case there is an interior water break the property wont be damaged, make sure your insurance covers a vacant property and or a vacant property undergoing construction, if its in a bad area you may want to consider an alarm system (i use simply safe because you can install it yourself and use it on other properties as needed) leave some exterior and interior lights on and finally have someone go and check on the property once in a while if its going to be sitting.
