Bought a house cheaply. What now?

Don’t let yourselves be unsettled, post photos and more info, and ignore the naysayers.

As someone who might also be called a “naysayer,” it seems downright dangerous to me to recommend to the OP here seeking advice to “ignore” warning voices or to label other users’ opinions as disparaging just because I personally don’t like them.

There are enough people here who seriously want to support you

Definitely even! Still, the question remains why “seriousness” should necessarily mean wearing rose-colored glasses or only affirming an apparently completely thoughtless house purchase.

without discussing your private life

Didn’t you yourself recently still wield the moral cudgel very heavily and call certain partnership constellations or those of an OP “absurd” when they seriously considered joint ownership? I continue to quote you: “...then I should best take off the rose-colored glasses and not finance a property with that person, let alone start a family.” Bang, that already sounded far less merciful, moreover right in the middle of other people’s private lives; but exactly the opposite of your current position. To this, your further quote: “...but if someone here asks for opinions on the subject in a public forum, I do not shy away from shouting mine out, however much it may displease some.” Following this “shouted out” advice, I am therefore also commenting here in a constructively intended way, but believe, apparently unlike you, very firmly that no one here carries negative intent but rather wants to help the OP gladly and within their means. Hmm... always this damn Internet that just won’t forget these old posts……

Without more detailed information, no one can give even a remotely sensible piece of advice here. Especially not regarding the partnership or future marriage. Volunteer work does not help in this regard either. Rather, it is presumptuous and insulting.

At least you know where to turn if you ever need marriage counseling. In the HAUSBAU forum...

... between "people who must have already handled money well enough to have plenty of it" and "people who handle money like Hansguckindieluft" there may be an overlap >0. A fantastilliardaire may take risks more easily, but does not specifically look for money-burning opportunities.

True, I hadn’t thought that far.

I dare to claim that over 90% of the forum participants would like to help. But of course, new input from the thread creator is missing.

So, , give us more info about the house and concrete questions, then this will be back on a productive track with constructive advice.

Without more detailed information, no one can give even a remotely sensible piece of advice here.

The information that a vacancy in the gastronomy sector is included and that there was no competing bidder was already precise enough to very sensibly give the advice "when in doubt, don’t keep dreaming."

Volunteering doesn’t help either.

Volunteering does not mean greenhorn amateur. When a typical fiasco entry scenario is described, it is better to warn someone one time too many.
