Renting v Buying

1 year ago
I'm wondering whether it is more cost effective and/or 'better' for any other reason to rent or buy when living in Uruguay. We struggle to find suitable rental property outside of Montevideo online but we like the idea of avoiding unexpected maintenance and upkeep costs by renting instead of owning. What are the thoughts of current expats living in Uruguay? Is one better than the other and what are the best sites to find each option? We also worry that if we rent we won't have the freedom to make modifications and/or decorate and whether they'll accept our pets. I'd be interested to know others' experiences to help us in making these decisions.
