You ever deal with a renters broker?
I know they take the first and last months rent but they are supposed to keep your home rented all the time. And they will be the ones to go in and "change the air filters." When actually they are checking on your home for you. They are basically like an apartment maintenance and rental service all in one.
My buddy has a rental home and uses a broker. He says the longest his home has been without a tenant is 2 weeks and he has never had added stress due to owning a rental property, he attributes it to the broker. This also has kept him from being screwed by those who move out in the middle of the night.

This is easily preventable through background checks, credit checks etc. If you don't do this, you're the idiot.
Get a standard lease drawn up by an attorney. Then set up in the contract that you will come do periodic maintenance, filters, large light bulbs for can lights, ceiling lights or whatever. Out line the pet policy, get a deposit. I mean if you get screwed on a rental it seems that you didn't do your homework.
i wouldn't piss away $2600 to a broker for some shite i could do myself.
