Hello everyone,
I have been reading along diligently for a long time. I have already discovered numerous tips for myself and learned a lot from you. Thanks for that.
Now to the actual "problem."
We live in a nice 4-room apartment [ETW], which we have almost paid off - value of the apartment approx. €380k, current debt still approx. €115k. There is about €90k in the account. After the fixed interest period (beginning of 2022), we could make use of the special termination right and pay off the remaining sum in one go. That is the background story.
Our municipality will sell about 50 plots in a new development area in spring (*the development works are in full swing*). Since we have two children, our chances of getting a building plot are good.
Price: approx. €300/m2
We would like to build. Since I am a teacher, I lack a study room. I am fed up with constantly working at the kitchen table. The school stuff is spread all over the living room.
I assume the dream of owning a home would cost us around €600k.
About our income
Net monthly: he - 2600, I 2500 (75% position, private health insurance already deducted), child benefit €400 = €5500
How should we proceed best now?
a) Pay off the apartment completely, sell it, and finance only the difference?
b) Keep the apartment, rent it out (rent approx. €900), not pay it off, but take on additional debt to finance part of the house?
c) Use the equity for the purchase of the plot (+ a small variable loan), sell the apartment after the fixed interest period, pay off the remaining debt from the proceeds, put the rest of the "profit" into the new house...
d) ???????
I know it was a lot now. I hope you can help me a bit...
