I think that they want to have a holiday home subsidized. Holiday apartments on the North/East Sea usually generate considerable losses permanently. At least according to the tax return
OK and what do they want to offset it with??
It only works with income from capital assets and not with income from self-employment.
You can also burn money more easily and not by buying a place for poor rental. Especially since you also have to invest there. A house ages, you have incidental costs, etc.
