Should I buy or rent a home in Papua New Guinea?

Answer this Question

If you have not spent a lot of time in Papua New Guinea, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...

"Whether you should buy or rent a home in Papua New Guinea depends on your individual circumstances. If you plan to stay in the country for a long period of time, buying a home may be a more cost-effective option. On the other hand, if you are only planning to stay for a short period of time, renting may be the better option. It is important to consider the cost of living in Papua New Guinea, as well as the availability of housing, before making a decision," commented one expat who made the move to Papua New Guinea.
