Wait with the building application because of the child construction allowance

I haven't heard anything, so the question is, does anyone know how long it currently takes from submission to confirmation in the portal?

4-5 weeks

How can you finance a construction or house purchase with a net income of 40k? I read it too, on Spiegel online, but it’s really beyond me.

Even if the reporting suggests otherwise, the vast majority of Germans do not live in the top 5 cities of this country. The majority live in the outskirts or in rural areas. Prices are different there. That is exactly why it is ridiculous that a few million in the country are crying out for relief in the city – it is disproportionate. But it dominates the media.

In the countryside, houses cost nothing. I think it is okay that the rural areas are also supported.

Of course, that's fine. More than that. I just find 40k extremely little. In the financing forum, financing would be discouraged at that income. Or are there really such cheap houses? It has become so expensive everywhere.

Well, those with 40k then simply don’t build a new house in Munich but buy a 3-room apartment in the countryside.

OK, yes you are right. For apartments, you can also apply for it. Of course, that helps you move forward.
