I’m not quite sure how to start this thread properly. I hope I’m in the right section. I’ll just begin.
I’m still quite young, but I have always decided that only a prefabricated house is an option for me. My interest is not just for a few months, but rather spans several years, as I am planning my future with a long-term perspective. I want to build early because I want to pay off the house as soon as possible. I have already visited several well-known prefab house companies and have been really impressed. Since we don’t live far from a company headquarters (Frankenberg), I have also visited model homes several times.
Having a steady job with a regular income is, of course, a requirement that I meet.
I already have a plot of land, so I don’t have to worry about that.
Equity will also be available.
My question is simply whether there are other young homebuilders here who might share their experiences with me. Perhaps there are also recommendations on whether my decision to take on such a commitment so early is the right one or not.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I’ve just been affected by many mothers from my youth who made up in their late 30s what they missed in their 20s. I no longer have anyone in my circle of friends who got together young. Back then, it was true love—the first boyfriend or girlfriend. By the latest, between 25 and 28, they started wanting other things. Unfortunately, that’s just how it is.
@daniel400 I hope you can manage the house on your own.
I didn’t even refer to that. Breakups happen all the time. And yes, no one here is with their teenage sweetheart. My husband and I have known each other since we were 18, but back then we didn’t like each other much.
Many people experiment around age 20—if they don’t, they either catch up later or regret the missed opportunities.
Although I’m skeptical because of the age, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the OP. Every builder needs some luck.

@daniel400 I hope you can manage the house on your own. I don’t think it’s right to draw a general conclusion from that. Of course, the opposite is also true. We know many people in our acquaintances and friend circle who got together very early and are still happy. We are "one of those" ourselves. I think it’s nonsense to say that people automatically lose interest in their partner in their late 20s or mid-30s just because they started dating early.

and still happyYes, everlasting happiness looks quite different when the other person is busy or typing hectic, emotional messages next to me in the parking lot. No offense (fortunately, I haven’t experienced it myself), but if you pay close enough attention, you notice the other person’s “happiness.” However, I don’t consider this the main focus. Life simply offers so many other things, and after building a house, there is often little time and money left for those.
To be honest, I’m curious about how a couple in their early 20s plans a house. My wife and I have been together since we were 16, but if we had designed a house at 20 – oh boy – I’d have already remodeled it by now. This, of course, has nothing to do with you, but back then I would have had the wildest ideas: the floor plan doesn’t matter! As long as a 100-inch TV fits in the living room! I don’t care about the bathroom, but the home bar absolutely has to be in the basement, and EVERY piece of furniture would have LED underlighting!

Seriously, whether it’s a bar now and later a play kitchen, or a gaming room now and later a children’s bedroom, rooms can be repurposed. I don’t see any problem with that. Especially since the original poster seems to be more down-to-earth than some others at a young age.
