We spent a week at closing on our new home and got to know our neighbors who have volunteered to keep an eye on our house. It's been a great experience so far. For us, we tried to get to know our renters as best we could prior to renting and of course did an experian background check.
Did you purchase in full or have a mortgage? Also, is the rental plus internet and electric covering all your expenses?

My wife and I may be interested in purchasing now, but renting out for a few years until we can retire.
