Hey,
I work closely with a property manager that carries a large portfolio. They have different options for you to choose when it comes to leasing out. If you are going to be out of the country, I strongly suggest you take this route. Although you will be paying around 10% of the monthly rent in fees, it will point any/all the headaches towards them.
If you rent the place out furnished then prices will jump to around 15% as they need to do inventory and check on the condition of everything. They also have a option which is around 30% where they will furnish the unit for you. Its simply about numbers at that point - does the additional rent having it furnished offset the additional expense.
Feel free to contact me if you would like further information.
Handling investment properties while still in the city can be a headache. I couldnt imagine doing it from abroad.
