Should I buy or rent a home in Taipei?

If you have not spent a lot of time in Taipei, 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 Taipei, it is important to consider your budget, lifestyle, and long-term plans. Buying a home in Taipei can be a great investment, as the city is known for its strong real estate market. However, it is important to factor in the cost of a down payment, closing costs, and other associated fees. Renting a home in Taipei can be a more affordable option, and it can also provide more flexibility if you are not sure how long you will be living in the city. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Taipei should be based on your individual needs and preferences," wrote a member who made the move to Taipei, Taiwan.
