If you have not spent a lot of time in Taiwan, 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 Taiwan, it is important to consider your budget, lifestyle, and long-term plans. Buying a home in Taiwan can be a great investment, as property values tend to appreciate over time. However, it is important to factor in the cost of maintenance and repairs, as well as the time and effort required to manage the property. Renting a home in Taiwan can be a more affordable option, and it can provide more flexibility if you are not sure how long you will be living in the country. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Taiwan should be based on your individual needs and preferences," remarked another expat who made the move to Taiwan.
