Should I buy or rent a home in Nepal?

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

"Buying a home in Nepal can be a great investment, as the country is growing rapidly and real estate prices are on the rise. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Nepal, as well as the availability of financing options, before making a decision. Renting a home in Nepal can be a great option for those who are not ready to commit to a long-term purchase, as it allows for more flexibility and can be more affordable in the short-term. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Nepal should be based on individual needs and preferences," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Nepal.
