The Three Loan Types at a Glance

Annuity Loan The monthly payment stays constant. Interest dominates at the start, repayment later. The classic for property financing.
Repayment Loan Repayment stays constant, the payment decreases over time. Higher initial burden, but less total interest than the annuity loan.
Endfälliges Darlehen Während der term werden interest only gezahlt. Die gesamte Tilgung erfolgt am Ende auf einen Schlag – oft kombiniert mit Lebensversicherungen.

In property financing, the annuity loan is by far the most widespread – – weil die fixede Rate eine sichere Planungsgrundlage bietet. For property investors, a bullet loan can be tax-efficient, as interest payments may be deductible.

Tip: Use the amortization schedule to see how much debt remains after 10 years – this is crucial for refinancing planning.
