A lot of worry about nothing. It's not really profitable to be a land lord here. At best you can get 4 months in the high season then it sits empty. 4 months will cover everyday expenses for the year but not major repair like AC, new roof, painting, carpet, etc...
In my neighborhood, which was built in 08 some people were renting there houses especially after they bought a second house to up grade. They thought it would be a good investment to keep the first house and rent it out. Within 3 years most sold the rental, usually to one of there renters. They got tired of just breaking even and the hassle. If you have an agent it really doesn't pay. They make money you don't.
Just my observation.
