Nothing comes from nothing. Even if the apartment is paid off, you pay taxes on additional income. Costs can be deducted and the surplus pays off your own house proportionally. Of course, it is a risk. But certainly not a HIGH risk.
I'm not concerned about the risk either. Rather, it's about the fact that the OP has a cash surplus of a few hundred euros per month, but in return has a rate well over 1,000€. You can do that with the right income - but then this question wouldn't arise here in the forum. And the surplus from the sale pays off your own house proportionally very quickly right from the start ;)
