Should I buy or rent a home in New York?

Answer this Question

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

"Whether you should buy or rent a home in New York depends on your individual circumstances. Buying a home can be a great investment, as it can provide you with a steady source of income if you decide to rent it out. However, it also requires a large upfront investment and can be a long-term commitment. Renting a home can be a more flexible option, as it allows you to move more easily and does not require a large upfront investment. Ultimately, the decision of whether to buy or rent a home in New York should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," explained one expat living in New York, the United States.
