If this is a new house I cannot imagine renting it to strangers. If it is pre-owned, be very careful to whom you rent it. If you are out-of-town, and you are not experienced landlords, you may need to hire a property management company. It would be difficult to manage repairs and maintenance from out-of-town, especially if you are not familiar with the area. Ideally, I would not rent the house, if possible. Don't expect to make a lot of money.
