Let me also give my two cents. With a net income of 3,800 as a career starter (which is already a minus point for a bank) without equity (second minus point) at that age (not a factual, but a gut-feeling minus point), a bank will push a living cost allowance of €1,900 up to maybe €2,100 onto you. Then you want full financing of all costs, which will definitely cost you a repayment rate of 3-4% and a correspondingly high interest rate. Let’s assume you want security and go for 20 years. Then it will be – to keep calculations simple – 2% interest. That means roughly €1,900 minimum monthly installments. That will definitely trigger a red light and no loan. Apart from that, I assume that – if you keep a household budget book – your actual costs are higher than you estimate. Then imagine you also find friends at your new place!!! Oh God, they will want to go out to eat or to the cinema with you – I heard that’s what you do with friends and life suddenly becomes more expensive. And it gets even more expensive when a (planned by you, of course) child comes along. That’s quickly €600 gone per month plus purchases for the child. That will not get less over time, rather more. And you will happily spend it because children are something wonderful. It’s written somewhat ironically, but if you read it, you will probably find some truth in it. My tip as a banker: calmly look at plots of land now, start planning the house and save everything you can next year (or two). Please keep a household budget book while doing this. Then you could, for example, start building after the winter of 2020/21 and be in by the end of 2021. The bank sees equity, you’re not career starters anymore and you’re also somewhat more mature than now. Don’t be angry, but you still feel like "kids" without real life experience.
