Buying Property in Colombia

[Goga Fung]

Even for just a weekend or vacation rental?

I guess he meant renting long term. But short term of course is not a problem since you prepay. Buying is also not a problem if paying cash.

No, that was for a long term rental. For just a vacation you can check with real estate agencies, they always seem to know of an owner who wants to make few bucks to rent his place for a short period. I have few friends here in Medellin who own fincas, I am not sure if they rent them, but I will ask them to see what they have to say.

To rent in Colombia is almost like buying, you need to supply them with your financial statements, and you have to have 2 cosigners if the rent over one million pesos, if it is under a million you only need one cosigner, but still you need 1 or 2 references in addition to the above. It is really a pain in the ass down here.

I emailed this dude one time, he was very responsive, I am sure he can help you, assuming Guatupé qualifies as outside of Medellín.

Does anyone know of any contact info on finca rentals? Either outside of Medellin or Bogota? Also, does anyone know the ins and outs of buying land (versus just a condo or house) in Colombia? Are there additional restrictions or is it the same as buying a place.

Thanks,

Rodeo

So when the Doll House went under, the owner no longer needed his apartment in Medellin. I like the guy, and wish him well on the disco going in that place named Farenheit so I here. So I been a long time monger, I wrote a lot for ISG and before that a WS. I bought this place based on value and looks and knowing that there are very limited choices when it comes to a 5 bedroom apartment. The place will be renovated to 5 bedrooms starting Jan 13th. Colombians do not like work men in the buildings from DEC 15- Jan 15th. Anyway I encourage you to get a hold of me if you wish more information about this one of a kind apartment Penthouse. I think it might be the biggest place for daily rental. I know of two bigger joints but, there not really a good Comp. One is a house up in god knows where for 500 a night with crappy furniture and the other is that Pablo Escobar place with the pool that 10, 000 sqft but I here that's like a grand a day. So this place is 250 a night and before you tell me its way to high its for 5 people. It has a steam room, it will have a open area if I get permission from the female * administrator. It's got a bar area tied into one of the bedrooms so the party can go on without the neighbors hearing you like they do on the first level. The master bedroom has a hot tub in the middle of the room it's bedroom is bigger then the living room of my 2 bedroom. There are 5 water heaters in the place so you get a hot shower and a 300 gallon marble fish tank. Place is crazy, So far this is the video pre my doing some work here.

I forgot mentioning onething. 20days plan I bought include Medellin stay. Owner has couple of APT in Medellin. That is why I bought that plan add some fotos of MDE Apt. That APT seems like a love hotel in Medellin. 16ths floor (top floor). Much better than hotel and room rental. Nobody bothers me. And 6 armored security guys 24 hours on duty like a officetel in Newyork. There is Macdonald in walking distance and all the taxi cost to anywhere 3 or 4 dollars only. Especialy this place easy to find so when you call your visitor will not cofuse and miss it. If you not speak fluent spanish. I've been visit Medellin and Colombia since 2005, maybe 20 times.

I just came back from Colombia. Had a good time and bought one timeshare resort elpenol (from MDE Rio Negro airport just 30 min away) in Medellin I submit some fotos & information. Anybody visit Medellin 2or 3times a year will save good $ and very appeal to normal chicas. US phone 1 818 453 5886 Colombia 57 4 824 6501 name of the Owner Santiago : PARQUE VIEJO PENOL. There are suite, disco, restaurant, jacucci, swimming pool, jetski. Owner will arrange transportation and lodging in Medellin very economic price from resort. Price is depends on plan. I Paid 5million pesos 20 days plan.
