I agree with the "Handi Man" you will most likely not make enough money to cover your expenses (taxes, amenity fee, etc.) as most of the homes really only rent for 3 months a year, but you will be able to claim these expenses against your rental income. Also you get to depreciate the home as long as you are renting it. This is indeed a nice offset to any income that you make. There are other things you can do when you finally move down that also make it a sweet deal.
