Should I buy or rent a home in Kyrgyzstan?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Kyrgyzstan, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Kyrgyzstan can be a great investment, as the country is known for its low cost of living and attractive real estate prices. However, it is important to consider the long-term implications of buying a home in Kyrgyzstan, such as the cost of maintenance and upkeep, as well as the potential for appreciation or depreciation in the value of the property. Renting a home in Kyrgyzstan 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 the ability to move quickly if needed. Additionally, renting can be a great way to get to know the area and decide if it is the right place to settle down," said a member in Kyrgyzstan.
