Should I buy or rent a home in Armenia?

If you have not spent a lot of time in Armenia, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision:

"We rent a 3-Bdrm 2-BA (unusual) apartment with a roof garden in the center of the city for $700 a month," remarked one expat who made the move to Yerevan.

"For starters, Armenia is known for its beauty and history, from its towering mountains, to its ancient churches and monuments.
