You would be buying yourself a bunch of headaches if my experience is anything to go by!
A house: Security is the first problem. Kamoys soon get to know which house is empty, even if it is on a gated estate.
Damage costs: seems to be never ending! Some "guests" treat a rental like a stolen car!
Insurance: can open up a can of worms with this.
Pool: most "guests" prefer a swimming pool, more costs regardless of the house being occupied or not. May not be a problem if a communal pool, but then you will have common fee costs.
Condo: much more secure, but all of the other points are pretty much the same. In addition, more and more Juristics are banning the short term rental of units. And with the current "government" hell bent on changing every rule they can dream up, it may not be too long before it becomes illegal. Even as it is, it is a very grey area.
Yes, there are endless "services" that offer to manage property, at a price! But you as owner will be at the bottom of the list when you need to use it yourself.
