I’m not familiar with how more equity = better conditions or where more equity does not lead to any further interest rate change. Currently, we are earning significantly more returns with our investments than the interest rate costs for a home loan. That is our current way of thinking.
Exactly, that’s the reason why you are doing everything right regarding your equity!
It’s sad that here people talk about “gambling” or “your equity can just disappear.” They have no clue and only repeat what is the general tenor here in Germany, the evil evil stock market! There really needs to be a lot done here regarding stock culture!
Regarding your project, personally the price for a semi-detached house would be too high for me, I wouldn’t want to pay €800,000 for it, location or not. But that’s just my subjective opinion.
But if it’s the house for you, why not. You have solvent parents in the background who, as far as I can tell, could also step in temporarily if needed. Not to forget your invested capital.
By the way, I think it’s awesome that you already have a six-figure portfolio in your early 30s. That exactly shows that you deal with money and know how to handle it!
