    How can I not afford the place? This is just to make my life easier I would not artificially make it harder on me if I can rent it to some europeans that will stay on a sabatical in my country.

    What is my other choice? Leave the place abandoned for a year until I move? Prices get worse every year and I found a great opportunity to buy now instead of wait until I could buy it without a bank loan. Prices doubled because I waited so this time I don’t want to wait. My mortgage is 25% of my salary that’s not bad is it?

      You said that you rent the property you bought because that is the only way you could do it. That is litteraly your first sentence.

      Someone else is paying your mortgage right now so that you can move in later.

      I am not sure what else can be said.

        No one is paying for his mortgage. Someone is paying for a rent. If you think this is bad, then rent should be outlawed.

            Let’s say the mortgage is payed. Then the rent pays whatever the landlord decides to do with that money. Like literally any other transaction.

          This really goes to show that being a landlord requires no intelligence whatsoever.
