"It really depends on your personal and financial situation. If you have the financial ability to purchase a home and you can afford the associated costs that come with such a move, then buying may be a good decision. If you are looking for a short-term living situation and you don’t want to be committed to something long-term, then renting may be the better choice. Ultimately, it is important to evaluate your own needs and wants, and make the decision that is right for you," explained one expat living in Hopkins Village, Belize.
