I have property rented in the U.S. The most important part of this is the local agent, you should use a well proven, professional agent, keep the rental property, I have found tenants in the U.S. Respect their tenancy partly I am sure due to negative impact on their credit rating if they default and partly as the properties are mostly let unfurnished., it is easy to sort out the tax side and as I am sure you know there is a double taxation agreement so you will not pay twice.
