Hello, We want to buy a house (He 29 she 25; not married yet) Here are the details: Net income: He: €2150; currently able to save monthly: €1000 She: €1100; currently able to save monthly: €100 Equity: He: €90,000 She: €10,000 House: Year of construction 2008 best location 145m^2 living space 750m^2 plot Price: from €250,000 Additional costs: €26,000 Renovations: garage needs to be built, upper floor: plastering, erecting interior walls, underfloor heating, ceiling cladding Children: none yet, but two are desired in the very near future When children are there, she will have less income + additional expenses for children Financing: €75,000 equity €201,000 financed at 2.9% interest 1% repayment monthly rate approx. €620 Financing should be calculated only with HIS income (€2150) (secure income, good predictability) Renovations will all be done as DIY "gradually" Current rent: €420 cold paid by both Questions: Is it realistic to finance this house, even if children are there? My financial advisor claims that we will be debt-free after 25-28 years if we always make 1% repayment WITHOUT special payments. When I calculate this with various online calculators, I come to significantly longer periods until the loan is paid off! Who is right? I would be happy to hear a few opinions from you.
