Cheers buddy! It feels pretty special indeed.
One thing I’m glad to hear is you are looking at things in what you feel is your price range. A lot of people just buy something expensive and get into a whole lot of debt for no reason lol
That's very normal in Holland, where I grew up, too. 30 year mortgages.
Here, on the Portugese countryside, people actually buy a property/ land / house at once ( no mortgage ), which is possible due to way lower prices than in cities and many other European countries.
A mortgage might seem attractive to many, but it's debt in disguise.
Also I am doing my best to make wiser decisions with my money and learn from the past ;<)
