Are you talking a long- term rental or monthly rentals. If long-term, a property manager might be the way to go although it isn't that difficult to rent yourself and just have someone here available to take care of problems as they occur. If short-term with you visiting in between, get a good home watch person and rent it yourself.

Short-term, renters pay a monthly rent and you pay for everything else. One of the reasons renting in high season is so expensive. Renting for a year or more, renters usually pay gas, electricity, television, internet and phone. You pay the amenity fees, which include water and garbage, lawn maintenance, pest control.

One caveat, the further you are from LSL, the harder it is to find renters, which means you don't get premium rates. That doesn't mean no renters nor does it mean losing money, it just means offering a little more and taking a little less. It is difficult to convince folks that they don't have to be south of 466. It isn't a long distance to drive but many don't quite get that. Another, bigger, drawback is that Alhambra doesn't have a neighborhood pool, even though Savannah is practically across the street and Springdale isn't that far away.
