Should I buy or rent a home in Cameroon?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Cameroon, 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 Cameroon, it is important to consider the cost of living, the availability of housing, and the local economy. Buying a home in Cameroon can be a great investment, as property values tend to appreciate over time. However, it is important to consider the cost of purchasing a home, including the cost of a down payment, closing costs, and any necessary repairs or renovations. Renting a home in Cameroon can be a more affordable option, as it does not require a large upfront investment. Additionally, renting can provide more flexibility, as it allows you to move more easily if your circumstances change. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Cameroon should be based on your individual needs and financial situation," remarked another expat who made the move to Cameroon.
