    I had zero savings when I bought my house. My parents backed the loan which was good enough for the bank. Also I set the budget first and then looked what I could get with that. Well it turns out not much but not nothing either. My house is old and ridiculously small on modern standards but it’s a house nevertheless and comes with a nice yard too. I paid 105k€ for it. It’s 10km from the city centre on a quiet suburban area within 50 meters from a bus stop and it’s a 20min trip to the city with a bus or 12minutes with a car.
