Should I buy or rent a home in Brisbane?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Brisbane, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Whether to buy or rent a home in Brisbane is a big decision that should be made carefully. Consider the cost of buying and the ongoing costs of ownership including maintenance and other fees. Think also about the commitment of buying versus the flexibility of renting, both in relation to the length of the tenancy and the ability to easily move to another location if desired. Ultimately, you should make the decision based on budgeting, needs and lifestyle," said a member in Brisbane, Australia, Australia.
