Should I buy or rent a home in Guadalajara?

"If you are planning to stay in Guadalajara for an extended period of time, buying a home may be a good option. Buying a home gives you a sense of permanent roots and stability, and you may be able to build equity over the years. However, it is important to take into consideration the cost of buying and maintaining a home, as well as the potential for appreciating property values in the area. If you are not sure about how long you will be staying, renting may be a more suitable option. Renting a home offers flexibility and generally requires less commitment. It may also be a more affordable way to live in the area. It is best to weigh the pros and cons of both options and decide what choice best suits your current situation," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Guadalajara, Mexico.
