I will love to visit
The thing is, apartments and townhouse style homes are fairly reasonable (600usd) per month but if you want a country style house with a yard, forget about it, your looking at 2000 usd per month rent or minimum 400k to buy, especially in "el oriente" which is up in the hills just outside medellin where everyone wants to live. But I will say the monthly cost of living apart from rent is about half that of the USA.
amazing video as usual
HI ! It's still expensive to live in Columbia ! Why ? A vehicle is always left out of the budget ! I no see examples, pictures of apartments, and food, for the advertise price of $2500.00 per month. I can live in Phoenix Arizona for that kind of money ! And still have a $300.00 per month vehicle. And a $ 1200.00 month apartment.
Great video great feedback on Medelin. Mauricio was very helpfull when arrived in Medellin and visited lot of properties with him. Great service
Good summary, it's how I felt when I was there. As always, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is the cheap cost of living if you have an income in dollars, euros or other "strong" currencies.
I give Lad a thumbs up even before watching the video because I know it's going to be an enlightening video even if i don't always agree with everything.
Very interesting discussion. The crime aspect is a deal breaker for me, but everyone has their preferences and regardless, I love learning about all these different areas of the world through your channel.
Thank you Jesse
Thanks for this insightful discussion. Medellin is an amazing city and I enjoyed the time I spent there (pre-pandemic). The recent uptick in crime makes me a little nervous, though I realize you only hear the bad stories in the comments sections and for every bad story, there are thousands of "non-stories" from people who had no problems. That said, Medellin is still on my list of potential property investment locations.
Does Colombia have a taxation treaty with the US that prevents double taxation of income? To me, the lack of such a treaty would be more of a hinderance to me than the uptick in crime.
Also, are there many opportunities to buy a 4-6 unit building to renovate? I have some friends that may be interested in going in on that kind of investment, where each of us "invests" in one of the units.
Thank you. There isn’t a double tax treaty with the US but maybe you can still get tax credits for taxes paid in Colombia - ask your CPA. As for buildings to renovate, definitely. Get in touch with Mauricio (mauricio@thewanderinginvestor.com). He may have a few. Cheers
Wow a doctor has the good, life in Medellín . Who would have guessed ?
Bravo Americain ! ;)
😅
Nice Hat! Go Expos Go! …
Doesn't it rain a lot in Medellin?
How is the Capital gains tax in Colombia, is it 10%?
Yeah, looks like 39 and 10
What happened with your recommended contacts in Mexico? They went afk. No responses.
Which one?
Is that place safw for tourist / passport bro
Heard many stories about passport bros getting drugged by Colombian gyals. Up to you bro but that is an expensive price to pay just to empty your popol.
How do people handle the heavy air pollution and fire smoke. Mauricio just left out the issue of residency or tourist visas.....

@@TheWanderingInvestor Lad, could you discuss a bit the element of air pollution, trash accumulation, congestion, seaweed, etc. as some of the "Cons" for Medellin or other locations you discuss? I think it would be a great subject, and would give a wider perspective to real estate and development.
@@dovygoodguy1296 Yes. Traffic and pollution are big negatives in Medellin.
Is insurance available for expats over 65?
If you are a resident yes. Cheap.
@@TheWanderingInvestor Amazing, because foreigners in most countries in Latin American will not be accepted if they are 70. Or possibly 75.
