Should I buy or rent a home in Tanzania?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Tanzania, 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 Tanzania, it is important to consider your budget, lifestyle, and long-term plans. Buying a home can be a great investment, as it can provide you with a place to live and the potential for appreciation in value. However, it also requires a large upfront investment and ongoing maintenance costs. Renting a home can be a more affordable option, as it requires less of an upfront investment and no maintenance costs. However, it does not provide the same potential for appreciation in value. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Tanzania should be based on your individual needs and preferences," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Tanzania.
