Thank you GN...! That may be too close to when we have to start driving back
As to the rent questions.......I am blessed with some awesome neighbors who check on our home and if it needs anything, I get their recommendations, etc.
I have a local phonebook up here in NY, so if I do need to hire someone, I can.
I'm down there twice a year for month long visits, and have made great relationships with most any type of service I need, so when i'm not there, a phone call is usually all I need to do.
I do not usually meet the folks I rent to. They usually rent for a few months at a time, and the place gets rented months ahead of time usually. The renters usually have questions, etc, so we e-mail and phone many times before the rental takes place. Many have actually e-mailed pictures, etc, and we have gotten to know them. Most anyone who can afford to pay me to get away from the snow for months are good people.
I did have a washer "go" on me when we were renting it out. the renters called me. It was not worth fixing, so I just went to my local Sears store here in NY, the wife picked what she wanted, and it was delivered and installed in my Florida home within 48 hours. No big deal at all.
Renting is not nearly as scary as some think.
