I once met someone who rented - he was happy with the deal but fortunately for him, was protected by a pension and some funds. Don't forget that the economy is relatively tourist driven ... and probably not well paid - and, unless you have two or three jobs that can bring money in during the "off" season ( and the Symi people need those just as much as you will) it is maybe not the "escape" that you imagine. And any winter job you get is one that is no longer available for a Symiot.
But good luck with your dream and ambition - I wish I could do it ! Keep us posted on your progress !
