Part 1.1: Terms used by bank in Germany
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Darlehensbetrag (Principal): How much credit you want to take
- 100% of purchase price or less
- More than 100%
- Finance nebenkosten (Interest rate might increase)
- Finance renovation costs (Usually interest rate remain same)
2) Tilgung: Monthly installments you will pay to bank
- Not mandatory to payoff whole credit within mortgade period
- X Euros per month (eg: 600Euros)
- Y percentage (eg: 2%)
- pay off 2% of the mortgage per annum
(Tilgung% of Mortgage) + (Interest per annum)
- monthly installment = ____________________________________
12

Example:
Mortage = 200k
Tilgung = 2% --- 2% of 200k = 4k per annum
Interest Rate = 1% --- 1% of 200k = 2k per annum
Monthly installment = (4k + 2k) / 12 = 500 Euros

3) Sollzinssatz: Interest Rate
- Historically lowest interest rates
4) Dauer der Sollzinsbindung: Duration of fixed interest or Mortgage Period
- Longer the period higher be the interest rate
- Recommend to have fixed interest rate for your mortgage
5) Sondertilgung: Special repayment
- Pay X% of Principal once every year without penalty
- eg: 5% of 200k = 10k can be paid free of charge
- Paying sondertilgung is optional
- Reduces the principal quickly
- Pay less Tax :)
- No sondertilgung option reduces the interest rate by 0.01 percentage point
6) Restschuld: Principal left at the end of credit period.
- Can be refinanced by the same of different bank

Part 1.2: Who to contact
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Go to independent brokers like Interhyp or Dr Klein or Check24, etc.
- Primary purpose is to get information
- Do not believe broker's word blindly
- Letter by broker is of very little to no value
