u/i_would_say_so — reddlx

I'm about to be destroyed during a divorce. The only upside is that I still have my decently paying fully-remote job. (I'm B-permit on about 200k.)

My only requirements are:

roof that doesn't leak
at least 16m2 of space
quiet enough to allow for remote work (video conferencing, etc.)
I'm not listing electricity because I assume in some mountainous locations they can just run on solar; similarly internet I can get through one of the satelite providers

The question: What is the cheapest type of property I can legally use as my permanent residence? How do I determine if something can be legally used as permanent residence and is not just a disused agricultural shed?

The metric: By cheapest I mean the lowest monthly payment of a 20-year mortgage PLUS the gemeinde and cantonal taxes.

I guess what I'm asking is what is the legal equivalent of taking a train to Zug and pitching a tent in a forrest.
