Should I buy or rent a home in Batam?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Batam, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Batam can be a great investment, as the city is growing rapidly and property values are increasing. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Batam, as well as the availability of rental properties. Renting a home in Batam can be a great option for those who are not ready to commit to buying a home, as it allows for more flexibility and can be more cost-effective in the short-term. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Batam should be based on individual needs and preferences," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Batam, Indonesia.
