Should I buy or rent a home in Ethiopia?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Ethiopia, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Ethiopia can be a great investment, as the country is experiencing rapid economic growth. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Ethiopia, as well as the availability of housing in the area you are looking to buy in. Renting a home in Ethiopia can be a great option for those who are not ready to commit to a long-term purchase, as it allows for more flexibility and can be more cost-effective in the short-term. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Ethiopia should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," remarked another expat who made the move to Ethiopia.
