Should I buy or rent a home in Mal Pais?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Mal Pais, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Mal Pais can be a great investment, depending on what your situation is. Consider the cost of a home and whether you can afford to buy, as well as the rental prices in the area, before deciding which option is best for you. A real estate agent can help you understand the local market and help you figure out which option is in your best interest. You should also consider the upkeep required for a home, versus the cost of renting - buying requires an initial investment as well as ongoing maintenance. Ultimately, the decision of whether to buy or rent a home in Mal Pais should be based on your specific needs and financial situation," wrote a member who made the move to Mal Pais, Costa Rica.
