Final Thoughts On Renting or Buying:
Well, it depends on the individual’s financial and demographic circumstances. Both renting and buying require some things that cannot be fulfilled by every individual.
Renting is for those seeking flexibility in relocation and less upfront costs.
Buying is for those seeking long-term stability and tax benefits, and also have a good initial budget to start.
But BABVIP ASSOCIATES clearly believe that job and educational mobility will help the renting to yield more in different states and metropolitan cities where people love to opt for the inexpensive way of investment by choosing renting as compared to buying and investing in the long term. This year of 2025 will make sure that renting will still be attractive if developed and collaborated with the best foreign or domestic investors.
