4 apps, 1 week: Ibiza Challenge! 3 Real Estate Apps + Magazine – Now in App Store

L_kinski — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 13:23:53 +0000

4 Apps, 1 Week: Can I do it?! Yes! My very own Ibiza Challenge! 3 real estate apps + 1 app for my fashion magazine. Here I present you all apps (live from my AirBnb Dev-Villa in Ibiza).

Lukinski Real Estate Tools – App #1

It all started with this app or idea at Christmas, two months later the app (v.1.0) is ready and in the App Store!

The idea: Real estate app for beginners

There are thousands of apps for nutrition, thousands for sports, millions for gaming, and only a handful of real estate apps, mainly for apartment hunting.

Then at Christmas I had the idea: I build very simple real estate and financial calculators for beginners. The Lukinski Immo Tools App. Example: You can explain a repayment plan (interest, repayment, loan installment, unscheduled repayment) in a complex way in guidebooks with a thousand words or just show it. My teacher in business school used to say: “Don’t bring fish to the ‘poor’, give them a fishing rod”, a simple quote from the south of Bavaria, but containing a lot of truth. “Learning by doing” would also be apt. See our Real Estate Munich.

15+ small calculators for equity, savings plan (reserves), amortization schedule, incidental purchase costs by state, real estate transfer tax, realtor costs and much more!

The real estate app for beginners with the goal:

Build equity
Find cheap property
Buy real estate (as an investment)

New functions of the real estate app

In the coming weeks and months, I will refine the calculators and build new calculators, also for owners. Already now you can find in the app also the co-ownership calculator (purchase of a condominium > part of an owners association) or also living space calculation, functional area and much more, all according to DIN 277 and WolfV.

Download from App Store

Planning and financing: costs, credits, tips

Laura — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 14:59:39 +0000

Planning and Financing – In most cases, the purchase of a property is accompanied by financing. Very few property buyers are able to pay cash for their property. Financing for a property usually extends over a period of ten to 30 years. Careful planning is therefore very important.

Real costs & cheap loans

A stable income is one of the essential prerequisites for secure financing. The income should be secured for the financing period. You must take into account changes in life planning as well as the possibility of loss of earnings due to illness or unemployment. Young couples may want to have children, which also affects income.

A stable foundation is important

It is not possible to plan your life with any certainty, as unforeseen things can always occur. However, it is important that the financing is built on a stable foundation. If the monthly instalments are planned too tightly from the start, major problems can arise if money suddenly becomes tight due to illness, unemployment or the birth of a child. A large buffer in the monthly budget is absolutely necessary for secure financing.

Professional advice: real estate agent

Seek the advice of an expert when buying a property and in all financing matters. There are different pillars on which a real estate financing can be built. Each form of financing a very individual component. With a tailor-made package, the likelihood that you will be able to service the liabilities throughout the entire term without any problems is the highest.

Determine costs realistically

Before you determine a financing amount, you should get an overview of the total costs. Many builders forget the ancillary costs in their calculations. This can mean that parts of the interior or the garden cannot be completed in a timely manner because the financial resources are not sufficient. The construction costs include the turnkey completion of the home.

Extra costs for interior fittings, outdoor facilities, ancillary costs

A fitted kitchen and the equipment of the bathroom and guest toilet should be planned just as a basic design of the garden, the entrance area and the terrace. Don’t forget the ancillary costs for the notary, the land transfer tax and the use of an estate agent. Often a five-digit sum comes together, which is due after the purchase of the house. If you have been renting, you may have to pay your rent and the first instalments for the house in parallel for a few months. Also consider costs for any insurance policies you may need to take out as a builder. You should also plan a buffer, because some costs cannot be calculated definitively in advance.

The pillars of financing

In contrast to a classic bank loan, financing consists of various pillars. These include equity capital, a building savings contract, a development loan and the classic bank loan.

Equity: How are you positioned financially?

You should not finance a house or an apartment without equity. 25% of the total amount is advisable. Not only the classic savings balance counts. Own contributions or a plot of land owned by the builder are also taken into account.

Building savings contract: plan a loan and save money

With a building savings contract, you save 40 percent of the total amount within seven years. It is advantageous if you plan the construction of the house together with the allotment maturity of the building savings contract. Then you get a low-interest loan, which corresponds to 60 percent of the building society sum. You can use this loan in full for the financing.

Promotional loan: banks as investors

You can apply for a development loan from the investment bank of your federal state or from the KfW Bank. It is tied to certain criteria. Depending on the type of loan, your income or the equipment of the house will be checked. For example, you can take out a KfW loan for a low-energy house at very favourable conditions.

Bank loan: Often cheaper online

The bank loan should always be the last pillar of financing, as it is the most expensive. When you have exhausted all other options, apply for financing for the remaining amount at your chosen bank. Do not limit yourself to the offer of your house bank, but compare different offers with each other. Online banks often offer cheaper interest rates as they save the cost of a branch network. This saving is passed on to the customer in the form of favourable interest rates.

Dream houses: financing, security, efficiency

The concept of a dream home is defined very differently by a future homeowner. There are builders who understand behind it a luxuriously equipped house with a small low-maintenance garden in a central location. Others wish themselves a house in calm situation and take for it gladly a longer journey to the work or into the next city in purchase. In general, the term refers to a modern house that offers many amenities. How to find your dream home, what advantages it has and other exciting aspects we show you here.

Dream houses: financing, security, efficiency

Laura — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 14:59:38 +0000

Dream houses – The concept of the dream house is defined very differently by a future homeowner. There are builders who understand behind it a luxuriously equipped house with a small low-maintenance garden in a central location. Others wish themselves a house in calm situation and take for it gladly a longer journey to the work or into the next city in purchase. Generally, the term refers to a modern house that offers many amenities. How to find your dream home, what advantages it has and other exciting aspects we show you here.

Find individual and beautiful dream homes

Dream homes offer plenty of space for individual needs. They are flooded with light, the rooms are large and pleasantly cut. The exterior architecture is worth seeing. Dream houses stand out from the classic building by an appealing exterior design. A large balcony, a terrace on the roof or a romantic bay window are built into dream houses. The view from the balcony or terrace goes into the green, to a lake or to the sea. The interior of a dream house can be described as upscale. High-quality furniture in the kitchen, expensive sanitary ceramics and hard-wearing, visually appealing floors are just as much a part of it as an advantageous cut of the individual rooms. The kitchen is equipped with a cooking island and a spacious dining area. A separate dining room is also happily furnished. The large living room has high windows and direct access to the terrace or garden.

Energy efficiency of the dream houses

Dream houses are characterised by a modern energy-saving heating system. Renewable energies and independence from a regional energy supplier are popular. In the meantime, technology has advanced so far that self-sufficiency is used with a powerful solar system in combination with the possibility of storing energy. In this way, the homeowner produces his own electricity and only needs to use the services of an energy supplier for a few weeks or months of the year. The insulation of the exterior walls, windows and doors not only provides very good sound insulation, but also a high saving in the consumption of heating energy. The houses are therefore particularly environmentally friendly. Heat pumps, which are operated with the self-generated electricity, do not require fuels such as gas or oil. These resources are no longer needed, which is another positive effect.

Safety issues

Dream houses are more expensive in their purchase price than homes with classic equipment. This sometimes attracts people with criminal energy. To prevent burglary, many dream homes are equipped with an alarm system and other security systems such as an electronic gate and video surveillance. The modern smart home system makes it possible to network different components and conveniently control them with your smartphone. In this way, you can also switch on your heating, prepare the coffee machine or close the blinds on hot days while on the move. You also have a view of your house at all times by calling up the images from the video camera while on the move. You can find dream homes in the city, in outlying areas and in rural areas. However, buying such a house always involves a larger investment.

Outdoor facilities: What you need to consider for the front garden, terrace and garden

Laura — Sun, 16 Aug 2020 14:59:42 +0000

Outdoor facilities – Many buyers who want to purchase a house with a plot of land attach importance to a beautiful design of the outdoor facilities. If you offer a property for sale with attractive outdoor facilities, you will quickly find interested buyers, according to experience. If you decide to leave the house sale to a professional partner, you will save a lot of time. You don’t have to worry about contacting possible interested parties and you can go about your work and everyday life.

Design options for outdoor facilities

Exterior landscaping includes the area in front of the house, but also the garage and carport, as well as outbuildings. A finished garden can significantly increase the value of a property. The size of the garden plays a rather secondary role. A beautiful lawn, attractive planting and an enclosure with fences or a green pergola increase the value of your property. Potential buyers appreciate attractively landscaped outdoor areas because the labor involved in planting the garden is eliminated. Plants grow with each passing year, increasing their value. If you have chosen rare plants or combined them in such a way that the garden blooms all year round, this also has a positive effect on the purchase price. Outbuildings are practical because they offer a lot of space and variable uses.

The front garden: Best fenced and the paths paved

The garden plot owned by a property owner begins at the edge of the road or at the end of the footpath. Regulations may vary in different cities and towns. However, it is usually the case that houses have a front yard. It does not matter if it is a detached single-family home, a townhome or a duplex. Between the footpath and the outer wall of the house, the front garden can be individually designed.

The size depends on the width of the house and the distance to the sidewalk. Houses with a large front garden are popular because they are slightly off the road. If you want to sell a house with a large front garden, its design is an important criterion. It is advantageous to have fencing around the area facing the footpath and the road. In this regard, fences made of metal are considered more likely to increase in value than a wooden fence, which requires regular maintenance, due to its durable structure. Tall plants that interrupt the view of the house and provide some privacy are also considered to add value, as is the installation of paved walkways.

The terrace: ideal with fixed gazebo or pergola

The terrace can be located directly at the house or in another area of the garden. Newer houses are characterised by a terrace that can be reached from the living room via a French window or balcony door. This is sometimes not possible with older houses. They would require extensive remodeling, especially if the basement is not at ground level under the house. If you want to sell a house with a high basement and you have put the patio in another area of the yard, it also counts as a value-added outdoor feature. Fixed gazebos or a pergola that is naturally landscaped are popular.

The garden: always a plus for nature lovers!

The garden is an important element of the exterior. If you sell a house that has a beautiful garden, you can increase the price. Popular with buyers are large lawns with a dense, beautifuly manicured lawn in a rich green. Borders of plants should be separated from the lawn by stones or a lawn edging. Fruit and vegetable gardens attract the interest of enthusiasts. But there are also customers who want a low-maintenance garden with lots of greenery and few plants.

Very large gardens are no longer so popular, especially with young buyers, because the maintenance effort is quite high. Small, lovingly landscaped gardens combined with a property that is ready for immediate occupancy are popular purchases. The demand for well-maintained properties remains high.

Garage and carport: architecture, weather resistance, differences

A garage or carport for one or two cars is very popular with homeowners. If a carport or garage is included in the exposé, the interest of potential buyers is greater than if the vehicle is parked on the street or unprotected in front of the house. Installing a carport or garage not only provides greater convenience when using your own home. These additions also have a positive effect on the resale value.

Roof: planning, construction and renovation of roof trusses & roof coverings

Modern roofs can have different shapes. For centuries, the classic gable roof was the most common roof shape in Germany. It was often modified into a hipped roof and equipped with dormers to make effective use of the space under the roof slopes. Tent roofs are used in the new city villas with two-storey construction. As part of a renovation, the shape of the roof can only be changed slightly. If you plan to do so, you will have to fundamentally redesign the house. Roofing, on the other hand, is often the subject of renovation. Tiles are used, which are available in various colours, shapes and designs. A new roof covering often goes hand in hand with a renovation of the roof structure. If the construction is fundamentally new and of high quality, a roof can last at least 50 years without the need for new renovation.
