Should I buy or rent a home in Budapest?

Answer this Question

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...

"It is not a difficult process if you are not getting a loan - that is difficult for a foreigner. But when you consider I came with next to nothing and was able to purchase - you can too. If you remodel, call me - this was the reason I began my expat assistance business - despite speaking the language that was a great challenge," commented one expat who made the move to Budapest, Hungary.
