Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Liberia should start by researching the local real estate market. They should look for listings on websites such as Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com. It is also a good idea to contact a local real estate agent who can provide more information about the area and help with the search. Homes in Liberia typically include basic amenities such as running water, electricity, and a kitchen. Many homes also have air conditioning, a garden, and a garage.
