Descant legitimately and realistically raises, use a rental agency like Bayside Rentals, Meredith. From 3,200 miles away, I have replaced a water heater, water pump and tank, fixed a refrig door, have the trash picked up every Sat. morn. Cleaning crew comes in weekly. They find the renters. I have had everything fixed within a few hrs. max.

This year, I'm not renting for the first time in about 20 yrs. I'm going to enjoy the place myself...However, then I'll be managing rentals from 3,200 miles away from the other direction...Long term, however.
