I have 2 rentals in TV. I bought the first one 8 years ago as my retirement home. Second one as an inflation hedge. I run both remote without a management company. Monthly rentals only - having a minimum 3 month high season makes it pretty easy but I average 10-11 months a year rented.

That said, rents don’t really keep up with inflation, and making the cash flow work at current sale prices would be tough. I don’t understand how you would make a business work if you have to pay management fees.
I have the second house to capture the long
Term appreciation- I plan to sell it my first year of retirement and live off the proceeds for 7 years to push off taking SS until I am 70.

In my experience Renters take better care of my houses than I do. People who bash renters are not talking about mine.

If you want to rent your house, I suggest villagers homes 4 rent dot com. They have some great resources and I would list my home there to get it rented. I would also join the Facebook group landlords of the villages. Good info there too.

Keep in mind, a lot of the advice given on this site is from people who have never rented a house. All kinds of worries expressed that just are overblown. You are renting to people who can write a $7000 check a year
Ahead of time to hold their spot, good responsible people. Btw, stay away from being a churn the property once a week landlord on Airbnb. Not the way to go in my opinion
