One of the problems here in Austria is that any money received from rental is added to your income e.g. Mortgage for a unit is 800 €, rent is 800 € -> the government adds the 800 to your wage (effectively taking about 50% of the income) which leaves me a gap of 400 € that I need to pay out of my pocket. It still is good in the long run (as for every 400 € I pay I get 100 % added to it for the rent) but with maintaince etc. not such a clear cut deal...
