Good day,
my wife and I recently had a building project planned.
Bungalow house including land + additional costs 250,000 euros. (40 km south of Berlin)
So much for that...
Unfortunately, there are some financial hurdles that now need to be overcome.
1. I still have an open loan from a car purchase. 22,000 euros, installment 720 euros!
I chose the installment deliberately high because I am not a fan of long terms.
2. My wife recently gave up her job and is now accordingly looking for work.
However, we assume that she will have found something new in the next few weeks.
Income
Wife: 1,200 euros net (unemployed)
Husband: 2,300 euros net (employee)
1 child: 194 euros
Total 3,700 euros
Equity 25,000 euros
Expenses
Rent including heating: 580 euros
Installment: 720 euros
Other expenses: 1,200 euros phone, TV, clothing, etc.
Total 2,500 euros
Question 1
Would it be more sensible to restructure my installment loan of currently 720 euros to a significantly smaller installment in order to make my household income more attractive to lenders?
Question 2
I don’t know how lenders will view my wife’s current situation regarding unemployment and whether her mother could possibly act as a guarantor.
We also thought about a granny flat and including her mother as additional rental income.
I would be very grateful for answers.
