Hello everyone,
I’m sure there are one or two among you who can give me some suggestions / tips.
I am about to buy a small one-room apartment (balcony, parking space, cellar, elevator) as a capital investment (approx. 41 sqm for 89TE, good condition, no renovations necessary at first, no realtor, rented, good location), current rent is 340 euros net cold plus 110 euros additional costs, house money 38 euros.
Considerations:
A- Use a lot of equity so that no loan has to be taken out
B- Use little equity in order to benefit from low interest rates and to use the equity elsewhere in the next few years (we want to buy a single-family house or a condominium with a garden) and invest part of it in, for example, a fund savings plan.
The total amount of 89TE is manageable, but I cannot assess whether a one-room apartment is worth that, or whether the return on such an apartment generally pays off, considering effort and costs.
If I take out a loan, should it be based on the net cold rent (plus reserves) so that the property "basically pays for itself"?
A brief note about myself:
permanently employed, approx. 2600 net (just for info: plus 13th and 14th salary plus annual bonuses)
married, 1 child, my wife is currently on parental leave and I would not currently include her in the financing (just for info: approx. 2600 net after parental leave)
This area is new territory for us, so we want to make appointments with various banks in the next few days to get an impression.
Regards and thanks for your tips
