2 pages of about buying property. No girls mentioned. Sad.
Rice.
With a little research you would have posted this in the buying property in Colombia thread and started reading there. I did. Post #314 dated 10-4-20 by NoCal2014. Just maybe you should contact him. Maybe you could start by renting from him.
New home purchase.
Fellas I am in escrow for a 3 bd apartment 19th floor overlooking the pool. It is in Bello at the new mall they are building out there. My plan is to rent it out as best as I can if it's vacant when I get there it will be my hotel room while I visit Medellin. I'm paying $75 k USD / line of credit / cash. I will put 30%down over 24 months and pay half cash half line of credit for the rest. Early 40's is citizen plan to retire in Colombia. My next apartment will be in Envigado or Poblado feel free to ask any questions.
He's Actually A Babe Magnet
[QUOTE=Shamester;2533984]IMO no poster is hating on you but providing you with educated viewpoints to help with your decision making. Downplaying your "wealth" is challenging since many view Asians as rich (China has the most billionaires) and you are from the USA (maybe the second most billionaires). Many Asian countries are economic powerhouses (Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, etc.) vs Latin America.
In addition, there are numerous hate crimes against Chinese / Asians due to Covid.
Why buy? - it may be more prudent to sign month to month leases.[/QUOTE]I totally agree with what your saying, although the typical Colombian isn't really cognizant of Asians wealth versus from the USA as all foreigners are considered wealthy, and I doubt Colombians harbor prejudice against Chinese / Asians like elsewhere in the World over COVID.
What's interesting though, is in this poster's case, since he's Asian, he's a babe magnet!
Might sound weird to some, but a few years back I was cruising around El Centro with a friend from South Korea, an American though, and he got lot's and lot's of attention, as most Colombians have never seen an "Asian" in real life, and the girls were all over him. So you top this off with him being a fluent Spanish, and he's in like flint. I was jealous when I was with my friend as he got all the attention, albeit I'm ugly!
Energy Building robbery caught on video
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2531172]Welp, they robbed more foreigners at another hotel in El Poblado this week. Don't all you Lleras guys show up in El Centro at once. It is much more dangerous at Parque Botero.
