Yes, I have already finished my master technician qualification and no, I am not paid as a master technician in my company. That’s why I’m still looking :) In the area where I live, the industry is quite large and there are many good and big companies.
And with such good industry, there are still such cheap houses? We had/have that dream too, so I understand you. If you are willing to give up a lot of other things for it, then it also becomes easier accordingly. Starting to look doesn’t hurt, without time pressure looking is more pleasant anyway.
I think the tip about the apartment is good. But of course, it doesn’t make sense if you really want to build in 2 years. An apartment for 2 years is not worthwhile with the incidental purchase costs.
First finding a good job would probably be a good first step. You could also get advice on what the bank would currently give you as a loan. For me, 400k would currently be the limit for you.
Otherwise, regarding "who builds everything," that is definitely different in our new development area. Here, the vast majority are doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, successful self-employed people, or similar. But of course, it can look different in other areas.
