Mortgage and financing in Schongau: rate, affordability, protection
Home ownership in Schongau works through the standard rules of mortgage financing: usually at least 20% equity, notional affordability and amortisation of the second mortgage. On the rate model you can choose between a fixed-rate mortgage (budget certainty), SARON (market-linked, variable) and hybrids — with direct effects on your long-term budget and the liquidity reserve you need.
Financing goes hand in hand with protection: depending on the situation, lenders require or recommend building insurance, loss-of-earnings or death-risk cover. For tax, mortgage interest is generally deductible — and the trade-off between direct amortisation and indirect amortisation via pillar 3a should be worked out over ten to fifteen years.
