Buy a house to rent out, is a loan still possible for new construction?

Hello everyone!

I am currently troubled by the following problem.

My father would like to sell his parental home to one of his children. I am considering it, but I don’t live nearby and would only use it as a rental property. The house is in a normal basic condition and was valued unrenovated by the bank at 280,000 euros, and recently renovated (heating, windows, floors). So basically, only increased in value.
A rental would pessimistically bring in around 1,100 euros cold, with a margin up to ~1,700 euros.
If I buy the house for about 160,000–200,000 euros, I would get it well below value, but I still would not like to invest equity and would thus burden the house with that amount (+- occasional renovations).
The burning question for me is:
When we apply for a loan for a construction project for our own home, will this credit be an obstacle for the new loan approval? How do banks calculate that? For a new house I simply throw out the values, 450,000 euros total expenses, 100,000 equity.
I just wonder if the bank could see this double burden as a reason not to support our own construction project with a loan.
Thank you in advance for your expert knowledge and best regards!

They would probably deduct the liabilities, in addition to the living expenses and other things. This reduces the monthly feasible repayment.

With the logic, the rental income should then also be included, right? I wouldn't end up worse off with that.

Hello,

we also bought a house with 5 rental apartments in 2005.
All are now rented out after we moved out, and the house pays for itself, meaning the rental income covers the installments.

We built new three years ago, also financed with the same bank.

It works quite well for us.
However, if a rent payment is missed, the double burden is not that high.

Just talk to the bank to see if that could work.

Greetings from Bavaria.

Will your father pay you that much rent if he already sells below value?
