<prompt> Human: always wondered if this was possible and viable - say you take a mortgage out on a house with the intent of renting it out. So long as you ensure the rental income is higher than the annual mortgage payments you Should be fine right?Of course its a risk as you have to ensure that the mortgage fees ARE paid regardless of tenants  <response>: Can you afford to make payments while the place is empty or if renters decide they cantwont pay a few months?
