The selling and buying of real estate in Colombia is not regulated in the sense like in most States in the USA, like in Callifornia where there is a stack of disclosures required for transactions. It's basically like the "wild west" with so many pitfalls, hence gringos getting burned is the "norm". And there are no "exclusive listings" there will be multiple agents representing sellers and different prices as well.

Posts: 101Apartment
Multiple times I have considered buying an apartment in Colombia but the numbers never make sense. The ROI is no better than in US, plus there is double taxation issue. The biggest issue is the currency depreciation risk you are taking. The prices for these apartments tend to go up as the peso depreciates but that gets you to net neutral at best instead of any gains. As most of the members suggested, best to rent unless you are planning to live there permanently. I have a real estate broker that is trying hard to sell me an apartment but when I ask him how the numbers make sense. He has no answer.
Learn from all the American's that have bought properties overseas and can't wait to get rid of them.

Posts: 2Paying Before Or After Sex
Hey guys,
this is my first post. I really tried to look for the answer in previous reports but I got so many different answers. I have been silently following your discussions on ISG since December / January I believe. Now:
1. Let's pretend I go to El Centro and I speak to a girl on the street and she says 30 K Pesos. I know the word prepago so: Do I pay her before or after the sex?
2. I read many times from different people that you should never pay in advance. I am now confused.
Please go easy on me.

One thing I learned is that if you still have other girlfriends you aren't going to stop seeing and she still has other boyfriends and or girlfriends she's not going to stop seeing, it's not time to settle down.
About the time he finishes paying for that house being built, he's going to discover that it wasn't being built for him and her and that he has no claim on it.

Posts: 586True. That's why I would never spend what I could not afford to lose (or at least not be able to access). I am not looking for rental income. If I died, I'd just give it to my ex-wife and daughter, who are both Colombian and USA Citizens.

Posts: 1749Regarding #3, trying to impress the girls is really not a good idea. Best to get that mindset out of your system when pursuing this hobby.

If a chica tries to tell you she means (150) USD, she's not expecting you to pull out a Benjamin, two Jacksons, and a Hamilton: she's saying she wants COP 548, 562 k, which is beyond absurd.

First, there's the whole idea of pleasing the girl. She's a prostitute. You're paying her to please you. You're not paying her to make her happy.
Next, what are most of the girls going to do with dollars in Medellin? How are they going to exchange it to pesos at 2 am in order to pay a taxi? No matter what the deal, they're going to get screwed on the exchange rate.
Finally, how much change, in dollars, are you traveling with? 100 k right now is $27.33. No matter what the girls are charging, you're going to have a difficult time coming up with the correct change.
If you want to pay for pussy in dollars go to Ecuador or stay home.
