Should I buy or rent a home in Ivory Coast?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Ivory Coast, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"When deciding whether to buy or rent a home in Ivory Coast, it is important to consider the cost of living, the availability of housing, and the local economy. Buying a home in Ivory Coast can be a great investment, as property values are likely to increase over time. However, it is important to consider the cost of purchasing a home, including the cost of a mortgage, taxes, and maintenance. Renting a home in Ivory Coast can be a more affordable option, as it does not require a large upfront investment. Additionally, renting can provide more flexibility, as it is easier to move if needed. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Ivory Coast should be based on individual needs and preferences," explained one expat living in Ivory Coast.
