I strongly recommend that you rent at least at first, for 6 to 12 months, to give yourself a chance to try the place on for size before committing. However, if you do eventually decide to invest in a home of your own, recognize that property ownership comes with carrying costs. As a home-owner, you'll have maintenance and repair costs, insurance, in some places property taxes, maybe grounds-keeping, etc. As a renter, you have none of these liabilities, which is why renting long term can make a lot of sense for the retiree abroad.

Older Baby Boomers Must Overcome Setbacks From the Great Recession to Retire

It is estimated that more than half of Baby Boomers fifty or older were seriously impacted by the Great Recession. Most saw their retirement savings, much of it in 401Ks, take a nose dive.
