Thanks for the insult and making my point, I can afford it but in my country you have to make a downpayment of 20% of the value and that ate into my savings, I want to recover some of my savings before moving to another city and eating into those savings more, plus I have to wait a year for my wife’s job, is it wrong to rent it for that year before I move?
How am I making your point? You litteraly said that you could not afford the place, so you rented it out instead.
Someone is paying your mortgage for you because you cannot afford it, and then you will kick that person out when you want to. That person will then have to move again in a market that gets worse by the month.
How can I not afford the place? This is just to make my life easier I would not artificially make it harder on me if I can rent it to some europeans that will stay on a sabatical in my country.
What is my other choice? Leave the place abandoned for a year until I move? Prices get worse every year and I found a great opportunity to buy now instead of wait until I could buy it without a bank loan. Prices doubled because I waited so this time I don’t want to wait. My mortgage is 25% of my salary that’s not bad is it?

I’d say that is pretty bad all around.

You said that you rent the property you bought because that is the only way you could do it. That is litteraly your first sentence.
Someone else is paying your mortgage right now so that you can move in later.
I am not sure what else can be said.
No one is paying for his mortgage. Someone is paying for a rent. If you think this is bad, then rent should be outlawed.
The rent that pays the mortgage he couldn’t afford to pay. All rent is is paying someone else’s mortgage.
Let’s say the mortgage is payed. Then the rent pays whatever the landlord decides to do with that money. Like literally any other transaction.
