Should I buy or rent a home in Tijuana?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Tijuana, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"If you are planning to live in Tijuana long-term, it might make more financial and practical sense to purchase a home rather than rent. Owning a home in this area can provide you with a variety of benefits, such as a potential increase in asset value over time, and the ability to customize and make changes to your property as you please. However, some considerations, such as the cost of repairs and maintenance, have to be taken into account when making a purchase. On the other hand, renting can be more feasible if you plan to stay for a shorter period of time. It is relatively easy to find suitable rentals in Tijuana and you will only be responsible for paying the rent and following the guidelines of the owner or leasing company," wrote a member who made the move to Tijuana, Mexico.
