Moving to Granada, Nicaragua

Should I buy or rent a home in Granada?

If you have not spent a lot of time in Granada, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision:

"We bought a home but I recommend you rent first for at least six months. Not everyone likes it here. You do not have to be a resident to buy a home or own a business in Nicaragua. It is fairly easy to buy a home but be careful! Everyone will try to sell you property and many of them are not stellar examples of character. Work with a known real estate agency. It is easy to forget to do the normal due diligence when you are looking from your potential property watching the sun set over the ocean," said another expat in Granada.
