Should I buy or rent a home in Johor Bahru?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Johor Bahru, 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 Johor Bahru, it is important to consider your budget, lifestyle, and long-term plans. Buying a home can be a great investment, but it requires a large upfront cost and a long-term commitment. Renting a home can be more affordable and flexible, but it may not provide the same financial benefits as owning a home. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent should be based on your individual needs and preferences," remarked another expat who made the move to Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
