Should I buy or rent a home in Mumbai?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Mumbai, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Mumbai can be a great investment, as the city is a major economic hub and real estate prices are likely to continue to rise. However, it is important to consider the cost of buying a home in Mumbai, as well as the cost of maintaining it. Renting a home in Mumbai can be a more cost-effective option, as it allows you to live in the city without the long-term commitment of buying a home. Additionally, renting a home in Mumbai can give you the flexibility to move to a different area of the city if your needs change. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Mumbai should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Mumbai, India.
