Some work on the house we would do ourselves, and the 500€ is not a problem for me and my brother. My parents live in a very small town, which has enjoyed a very strong upswing in recent years. Unfortunately, there are no used houses available at a reasonable price. If you find reasonable houses in Montabaur (it must be in Montabaur and not in a neighboring village), we would get together again and discuss alternatives. Personally, it is important to me that my parents now do something with their money, as I am quite sure that otherwise it will be passed on untouched to my brother and me. The intended plot of land is just under 700 sqm and is really one of the cheapest plots you can still get, as the town is really growing like crazy. I don’t know to what extent you can consider such a home as an investment, but when I think that my father’s best friend bought a plot 20 years ago for 10k marks and sold it 5 years ago for 300k, you can still hope that prices will continue to rise. We have already had several appointments with different banks and will calculate whether it makes financial sense at all.
