Should I buy or rent a home in Fiji?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Fiji, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Fiji can be a great investment, as the country is known for its beautiful beaches, lush rainforests, and vibrant culture. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Fiji, as well as the availability of housing, before making a decision. Renting a home in Fiji can be a great option for those who are not ready to commit to buying a home, 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 Fiji should be based on individual needs and preferences," remarked another expat who made the move to Fiji.
