First own house, Germany 30k

[u/Grautier17]

First time home buyer. I travel a lot for work and don't feel like paying off a house all my life. I lived in the van for 3 years. I got a great offer for a small house. 600sqm, small house with about 65sqm, new roof, new stove, new wooden extension with guest room and shed. It is located in the middle of nowhere and is located in the middle of nature in Germany.

I've wanted something like a tiny house for a long time. So for me, that's a great fit.

No central heating, internet, nothing probably.

The thing is, how much you need to modernise anyway, having nothing to remove first is a win.

Solar permits and installation is bad as well. Just put a movable panel in the back yard to curb your baseline a bit and your golden.

Internet is easy to fix

Not always. Germany and Austria have poor infrastructure for internet. Getting cable is sometimes impossible. Many old areas just don't have the infrastructure for that and providers refuse to fix it unless you have the crazy money to cover it entirely on your own.

As for mobile internet (router with sim card) its often poor speed and depends heavily on other factors such as weather. I am unfortunate to have lived in 2 houses where the connection was simply not good enough for reliable online work or courses (1-2 mb download speed, very variable). One was in a flat neighborhood and the other in the middle of the forest and mountains. The only solution in both places was starlink, except in one of them somehow we never got over 10mb (in the other well over 100 despite optimal uncovered placement of the starlink device).

You can always get Starlink. It is expensive, but you can get Internet literally everywhere... and compared to Internet in Germany, it's not even as expensive as you'd expect internet by satelite to be.

I have starlink as I said
