Should I buy or rent a home in Ghana?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Ghana, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Ghana can be a great investment, as the country's real estate market is growing rapidly. However, it is important to consider the costs associated with buying a home, such as closing costs, taxes, and maintenance fees. Renting a home in Ghana can be a more affordable option, as it allows you to avoid the upfront costs associated with buying a home. Additionally, renting a home can provide more flexibility, as you can move to a different location more easily than if you own a home. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Ghana depends on your individual needs and financial situation," remarked another expat who made the move to Ghana.
