Budapest, Hungary
Should I buy or rent a home in Budapest?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Budapest, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Yes my husband and I very quickly purchased a unrenovated apartment. I am a real estate consultant, so I believe in renovation adding value . I did not want to pay for someone else's poor renovation. The process is not difficult. You may contact me for help," wrote a member who made the move to Budapest, Hungary.
