Owners can<br \/>earn passive income by renting out when away and enjoy full freedom to renovate or decorate.<br \/>Monthly costs drop once the purchase is complete. On the downside, buying requires a large upfront<br \/>cost (around 20% down plus taxes and fees ) and less mobility. Foreign buyers can legally purchase<br \/>residences in Albania without special permits , but navigating legal and language issues may be<br \/>challenging. Property taxes are low (about 2\u20133% transfer tax) , and taking out a mortgage can be<br \/>difficult for non-residents . In summary, renting is best for short-term stays and flexibility, while<br \/>buying suits long-term residents seeking investment and stability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deciding whether to rent or buy depends on your situation.
