Often this is the greatest fear of owners. Renters call the Home watch people not you. Home watch for rental owners is not the same level of service as home watch for a seasonal owner. It is important to be cognizant of how often these maintenance calls come in. For me it was slightly less than once a year. What these home watch people cannot do is handle the financial side. They can advise you if your home is in good shape to return the deposit. They can't collect rent or return the deposit, just tell you the condition.

For several months in 2019 until April 2020 I managed my rental while I was in Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan. So, yes managing a rental long distance can work.
