Investment property questions....

[samckitt]

It seems that every time we go on vacation, we end up in Florida, and we rent a house for a week+. We have been thinking of buying a house there to use a few times a year & rent out the rest of the time. Not looking to make a fortune off of the rental, but a little more than the expenses/mortgage.

Wondering if anyone has done something like this. Where to look for the house, size (was thinking at least 4 br, 3 ba, with pool).

Advise, good idea/bad idea?

Thanks.
