What I’m really intrigued on doing is getting a short term rental, mainly because of long term appreciation and I can depreciate the first year and potentially reduce my other businesses income so there would be a tax savings there on top of some monthly income coming in.

If you're buying a primary residence, you'll likely be getting a rate in the 5-7% range depending on loan product, and whether you buy down the rate or not (think tax benefits).

So the lease will be higher than the advertised rent, they will be responsible for minor repairs, they are responsible for obtaining the proper licenses and pay all the taxes for their business operation (If you don't do this, you will regret it one day you see a tax bill that you as the property owner who are responsible for), and they required to have a STR insurance policy. 

I'm quite disillusioned with the situation here in Spain, and here are a few reasons why:- We have a socialist government keen on hiking taxes and undermining businesses.- We're grappling with the social phenomenon of "squatters", individuals who don't pay rent and the government allows them to live in your property rent-free for 24 months before eviction.- Spain's population pyramid is a mess, with sky-high taxes and increasing insecurity in many areas.- The rental yields in premium zones of central Madrid barely reach 3.5% - 5% gross due to government policies, such as the rental index imposed by the socialist government.For these reasons and many more, I'm considering investing in Miami.

You may not include income earned that is not on a tax return, an administrator or PHA may consider additional income in that household, a teenager may mow lawns or receive child support that may influence funds available to that household.
