"Whether you should buy or rent a home in Lagos depends on your individual needs and preferences. Buying a home in Lagos can be a great investment, as the city is a popular tourist destination and real estate prices are likely to increase over time. However, if you are only planning to stay in Lagos for a short period of time, renting may be a better option as it can be more cost-effective and flexible. Additionally, renting can give you the opportunity to explore different neighborhoods and find the one that best suits your lifestyle. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Lagos should be based on your individual needs and preferences," said a member in Lagos, Portugal.
