Thanks for the replies.
First of all I would not have a mortgage, it would be cash so that would help.
Second, I am not buying just to rent for profit. It would be to offset general cost, taxes, upkeep etc.
We would come for a couple months at a time and at this point I don't know when that would be.
My underlying plan is to get us there so my wife could get a better feel for life in the villages before buying a larger home.
As far as using a property manager, my parents could do that because they have done that some where they lived before.
What I am looking to do here is buy my way in to TV and not lose money in the process while giving my wife time to try it out before moving there full time.
We have a vacation home in the mountains in New Mexico that we would live in during the hot summer months and in TV during the winter that I have come to not like as much as I did when I was younger.
I am a avid golfer so that is a BIG plus for me and my wife plays also.
ijusluvit, I will PM you tomorrow wit questions. Thank you for offering your time and info.
Thank you all.
