There will be surprises for both. Just watch "Love it or List it" on HGTV (I think).

Six years ago I bought this cute little house, lived there for about 18 months before I got married and moved to a new city. Suddenly I was something I never ever anticipated being ... a landlord. My most recent renter left the house in such a terrible state ... thankfully, everything could be relatively easily repaired, just cost lots of money I would have rather spent somewhere else. One of the biggest lessons I have learned is ASK lots of questions, both of prospective renters and of contractors.
