Making sure they stay up out your biz is the most important thing.
Try a rental agency. If the owner uses one that means they want nothing to do with taking care of the property in the first place, and the property manager just wants the rent on time...
This is a smart idea. If the rental agency offers a service for real estate investors.
You can contact them anonymously as a homeowner looking to rent his house out and ask ALL kinds of sketchy questions that you can't as a renter.
"how do you guys make sure my house isn't being used for drug production? will you inspect it?"
and then if they say something like "we don't inspect, we vette all new renters to make sure they are upstanding people, this is how we protect you" This is a common answer and means you won't have any visits unless maitainence is required usually.
