I don't believe a management company would have done the same level of inspection. They look if they can pay or not.
On a more practical note - how much was the carpeting? I imagine the rent for two years would be more than the cost of the carpeting.
the carpeting would be equal to about 4 months in rent payments

We rent out a house. Have a property management company. NEVER leave a home unoccupied for two years, that is crazy. No one would insure you, the pipes would deteriorate, the list goes on....

I'd really like to hear from those who have BTDT. Is it best to hire a realtor to manage the property?

Believe it or not, it's harder on a house to be vacant.

Rent to a family with no pets and geeky, bookish girls between the ages of 7 and 14.

But they tend to cook a lot of fish. If you have carpeting the smell of oil and fish is pretty distinct.

You would actually consider leaving your house vacant for two years?

Is it worth renting out VS leaving it vacant?
My biggest fear is the house being trashed. I also just spent thousands on new carpeting and not everyone respects carpet.
I've never been a landlord before, any advice? Where do I start?
