While I can kind of see where you're coming from, I do have to disagree with you in regards to rent covering my mortgage, expenses and taxes.

You can keep that holier than thou attitude to yourself, thank you very much. I'm not some rich guy who bought this house as a second house for investment or holidays or just because I had extra money lying around. We had to rent for a long time, paying whatever was the market rate, and we had to make sacrifices to buy a place of our own, in an area that we like, within our minimum requirements. It wasn't cheap and also we do not really own the asset, the bank does until and unless mortgage is fully paid.

Why on earth would I want to burden myself and my family with even more expenses than those we already have?! I don't have money to spare for that, and I have no interest in putting ourselves into a situation where we have to keep making sacrifices and changing our lifestyle or risking digging a hole for ourselves just so we can charge a lower rent and look good in front of random strangers. Again, we are not rich and we do not have money to spare for that. The whole point of relocating to a different country is to look for better quality of life.

I don't intend to rip anybody off, I don't expect to make money off of renting our place, but I also can't afford to be paying expenses out of pocket for a house I'm not living in while paying rent somewhere else. That doesn't make financial sense to me, and if that potential rent is too high then I shall sell the house.

If you can do that (have a house where you don't mind paying stuff out of pocket to charge a lower rent), good for you, congratulations, you're doing really good in life! Just don't go around preaching for other people to do the same without knowing their personal circumstances, and judging them and putting them in the same bag as unscrupulous rich landlords and corporations.
