Wouldn't mind some basic information on the gotchas!
Fill out the proper forms, to bring in your investment Capital Legally! You buy property and you have no record of bringing in you money thru the proper channels, when you got ot sell it you can get hit with 50% tax on the sell price of your property!
Actually the problem is not taxation upon sale, but taxation upon expatriation. Even without a sale, you can be fined big time for not registering with Banco de la Republica.
Find a good attorney.
I agree with "Cream on Top".
What is this thread doing here on this forum?
This forum is about sex and not about buying real estate.
Tom 33 is right,
Find a good Attorney and thats going to cost you money, if you find one and if he´s not good then he´ll cost you more in the long run, but !!!!! then you will find out the real way and then your an expert, but by then you have already lost money.
A good Atorney, he´s in Bogota, he knows every thing, his name is Juan and his private number is 3117729472.
He will also tell you if you qualify for a Residente Visa.
HE REQUIRES MONEY UP FRONT

I recently got a good look at the housing market in medellin, but I don't know what to make of it.
There are literally thousands and thousands of newly constructed, in construction and land cleared for apartments and homes that are for sale in the hills ringing the city right now.
I have never seen that much new construction in one city at one time outside of vegas.
I personally witnessed that two different properties in the - just breaking ground on construction - phase were over half sold already with move in times not estimated until april 2007.
I don't know if this means its time to jump in while there is lots of competition or if its time to stay out because the market is being saturated...wish I had stock in whatever company is supplying the bricks for the mostly brick and concrete construction in the area.

I just watched a Discovery channel program about possibility of giant earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest (of U.S.) - and about how unreinforced brick masonry buildings are at great risk for collapse with such quakes. Got me thinking about the building in Colombia - does anybody know if Colombia is at risk for such natural disasters, and more specifically Medellin?

Countries along the pacific coast are subject to a average of 50 or so earthquakes every year. They happen even in the Amazon region of Colombia. Most newer construction of high rises use anti-seismic construction, be sure to ask before you buy!
A terrible earthquake hit Armenia in, iirc, 1999. Destroyed the town. It was felt in Bogotá.
I believe Bogotá also has some, but nothing major I know of recently. Monserrate is a dormant volcano by the way: not dead, just sleeping. Don't know about Medellin I'm afraid, check Google?
But what this program may have been about -- I didn't see it -- was the overdue eruption of the super volcano that's currently that tourist hot-spot (no pun intended), Yellowstone. When that blows there's a very good chance it will take life on this planet with it. Different league all together.
And on that happy note, I return you to regular programming!

Oh YES !! in this case please inform us Aussie :D !![/QUOTE]I have to agree with COT on this.
These two topics are not related. Pussy, P4P, SW, and Real Estate.
Except for the fact that potential customers get to meet hot Colombian secretaries at the Real Estate Agencies, public Notaries etc. When they sign the papers.
But it is surprising the amount of SERIOUS emails I received when I was selling the Condo.
One guy from this site actually came down and looked at it. Was not what he wanted. OK, and also did some mongering on the side, sure.
But the point is that even though this is an all pussy oriented site, most men here, do look for a steady girlfriend or wife, and a place to invest and retire.
And some even look for a house or Condo for sale for their girlfriend here. That is not unusual at all. Peter.
I am looking at buying an apartment in Medellin,with the possiblity of moving there in 1year.But i am having a nightmare getting help and information at my end (United Kingdom).And i do not know anyone in Medellin that could really help me apart from Greg and Robert,but i am sure they have there own things to deal with.
Does anyone know anyone that could help me out in United Kingdom or Medellin?
And what is the best way to start the ball rolling?
I know there could be problems becouse I am not Colombian and that I may have problems opening a bank account there.
I would be so greatful for any help anyone can give.
