Hello community,
I have been following the topics with great interest over the past few months and now have a concern myself.
My wife and I are currently renting a house and paying €1,350 warm, so we believe that this money would be better invested in a loan, hence this thread for discussion with the experienced and professionals.
Key data:
- Family income: €4,800 net
- Savings possibility (after all deductions and buffer): €1,300 monthly
- Equity: €10,000
- Children planned in 2-3 years; (currently no children)
We want to build in about 5 years (+/-) so that we do not pay so much "dead money" for expensive rent.
We have planned 5 years because we currently have little equity. Our house construction + land is estimated at about €350,000.
Questions:
- Does it make sense to save up a high building savings amount, for example €200,000 (100k equity, 100k loan) over the next 5-7 years and finance the rest via a normal bank loan? (then it would be 2 loans...)
Or does it make more sense (due to the short term and additional costs with the building savings contract (fees etc)) to conclude a building savings contract for the bare minimum (Riester + asset-building benefits) and put the rest monthly into a daily allowance account/savings account?
- Is building a house with these means advisable/possible at all?
I mean, if we save the rent + our saving possibilities (- buffer) together, we should be able to repay €2,000 or more per month. That way we should be done in about 15 years, right?
- Does a building savings contract make sense at all with the above data and the goal to build in 5-7 years (preferably sooner rather than later) or would it be better to save the money with good conditions and interest credit? But then the interest rates might be so high in 5-7 years that a building savings contract would have made sense after all (interest rate security)?
- Are there any other good and advisable tips for us?
Questions upon questions and I don’t know how to handle our key data effectively to reach the goal.
I am hoping for good answers and your support.
Thank you very much.
