....of course, you can still do something with an existing property (regardless of its age). The basic substance has to be right, everything else can be managed with the necessary "cash"! The tricky part is figuring out how much "cash" you need to budget for it. I basically believe that you don't necessarily have to build new, aside from the fact that it simply costs more.... no one can tell me otherwise. Additionally, we are also already middle-aged, and you don't necessarily want to burden yourself with a huge construction loan. If it can also pay off that way, no expense or effort would be spared. It just has to be profitable.........! No, everything is fine so far..... if the moisture issue can be clarified and quantified, the house is certainly a good alternative to new construction and worth 95,000T, 100,000T would then be invested and you have a house for 195,000T (you wouldn't build new for that!) P.S. The Heinsberg district is right next door, and there you can also find good properties from time to time!! ;)
