Should I buy or rent a home in Pakistan?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Pakistan, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Pakistan can be a great investment, as property prices are generally on the rise. However, it is important to consider your financial situation and lifestyle before making a decision. Renting a home in Pakistan can be a great option if you are looking for a more flexible living arrangement, as it allows you to move around more easily and avoid the costs associated with buying a home. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Pakistan should be based on your individual needs and preferences," said another expat in Pakistan.
