If you are unable to hold long-term especially through crisis till you have a decent rate of returns, or do not have sufficient liquidity after paying for the property (e.g. too much of salary goes to mortgage, it eats into your savings/emergency funds, can't afford the mortgage without a tenant) then you might want to seriously think about whether you want to invest in property. You may want to, but can you afford to do so?
