Nope, nada, would never even think of ever doing it!
I own several rental properties and from experience I am hear to tell you that no matter who you rent to it will end up costing you money and damage the value of your home.
Using a Management company is not a guarantee either. They are not, do not, and can not, be at your property 24 7's to watch over the tenants so they don't damage your property. Sadly it is a realistic fact about renting.
And IMHO do NOT ever use your real estate agent as a property management. Your rental agreement goes into a file and never seen again except to take their portion of the proceeds. Agents just don't have the time to sell houses AND watch over rentals and they don't.
If you really have to rent your house find a Property Management that does ONLY Property Management and does NOT buy or sell houses. They are out there and 'they' are the BEST bet for protecting your interests. Good Luck hope some of it helps you! :C
