My experience is that you might break even in actual cash flow if you do all the work yourself, such as weekly cleaning, paying for advertising and booking rentals. If you pay management fees of, say 20%, then it will cost you money but if your goal is to have a nice place to use yourself occasionally, then it will certainly cost less than not renting it out. Your tax situation could effect the cost of running it.
