Hey! There are entire on line business in Medellin that specialize in furnishing
[QUOTE=RiceRocket99;2553755]Thanks for the advice. I was kinda torn btwn the 2 apts. I've decided to go with 28th floor apt. It's brand new, no previous owner, move-in ready in less than a month with the paperwork and removal of all the decorative furniture and appliances. I asked if I can buy it as is, all furnished, and pay more. Too bad it was a No haha. Furnishing the place is going to be hard work because I have no experience nor interest in terms of interior design / decorations and shit. My house back in the States is plain and dull as fuck. I guess it's first world problems. I got to come up with 3 million pesos in cash by Monday to put down an initial deposit. I'm drawing cash out my Schwab like a thief that hit a jackpot.[/QUOTE]Apartments and homes including appliances, and they deliver within a day. You have to pick out what you want on line, maybe there are showrooms, IDK. This is what I was going to do when I had an apartment picked out for Catgirl and me, but we changed our focus to the casa en la Montana. Wish I could be more specific, mi novia was in charge of that, I was just supplying the bankroll, jajaja. I will Whassap her for the link and PM it to you if she comes through. I am in the states. I feel your enthusiasm and excitement and I think you have a great plan.
Withdrawal Limit Clarification
[QUOTE=FunLuvr;2553790]If you go to a Scotiabank / Colpatria ATM, you can withdraw 4.5 million pesos in one day. You will have to ask Schwab to raise your daily limit since the default limit is $1,000, but you can get 3.6 million pesos without raising your daily limit.[/QUOTE]The actual limits allowed are three withdrawals of 900,000 COP for a total of 2. 7 million pesos per day for non-Scotia / Colpatria ATM card holders, and 4. 5 million pesos per day for Sotia / Colpatria ATM card holders. This is what is posted on the ATM machines and what I typically do is pull out 5.4 million pesos at a time, but that is using two different ATM cards from Wells Fargo and Bank of America. My advice to anyone coming to Colombia is to always bring two ATM cards with you if you have them. I remember before the Pandemic when the exchange rate was over 4,200 Pesos to the USD, and I was withdrawing over 5 million pesos a day and depositing into my BanColombia account, it's currently around 3,600 as of today.

[QUOTE=SavePros321;2553844]Appreciate the intel!
The Mansion was my first foray into Colombia way back in 2012. I always stayed at M2 (which I think used to be called El Castillo).
When I went back in 2013 I booked a room there, but also booked an apartment with Barry (Poblado Rentals). I dropped some of my things off at M2, but stayed at the apartment all but the last night of my 7 day trip. When I returned to M2 the last night of my trip, Boyd had a look as if I was Jesus who had returned from the dead. Apparently they thought I had been kidnapped or something because the maids were reporting that all they found in the room everyday was a small luggage that never moved, a bed never slept in, and no sign of the gringo, LOL![/QUOTE]
