Should I buy or rent a home in Finland?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Finland, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Finland is a great investment, as the country has a strong economy and real estate market. However, it is important to consider your individual needs and financial situation before making a decision. Renting a home in Finland can be a great option if you are looking for a more flexible living situation or if you are not ready to commit to a long-term purchase. Additionally, renting can be a great way to get to know the area before deciding to buy. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Finland should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," explained one expat living in Finland.
