Buying Colombian real estate
Piece of advice coming from my experience in recently buying an apartment 6 months ago.
-Hire a reputable and bilingual lawyer that has experience dealing with foreigner real estate investment.
-Open a Colombian investment account, not a regular bank account, go with Alianza or Acciones / Valores. They have US-based bank affiliates, so you can make transfer directly from your US bank to their US bank. They will convert the money to Colombian currency once you are ready to buy. Their exchange rates are fair and reasonable. You can open an account with them with just a passport and they have bilingual service. You must register the transfer funds with the Colombian government / central bank (Banco de la Republica), I think within 24 hours of the wire transfer for the exact amount of the apartment purchase price. If you don't, you will not be able to get the money out of Colombia if you end up selling the apartment later on. You can also be taxed / fined for not registering the funds as well.
-You can open a regular Colombian bank account (Bancolombia) with just a passport and proof of apartment purchase / ownership. Go to the branch inside Santa Fe mall since they have experience dealing with foreigners. The only thing I couldn't open on my own without a Colombian cedula or cedula de extranjera was Internet service. I had to use name and cedula of one amiga for that. Kinda sucks, but oh well.
On a side note, I'm back in the good ol' USA. But not for long, returning to MDE in 3 weeks and will spend more time in the barrios. Last trip, I reconnected with SA girl I've known for a few years who lives in Barrio Popular, way up in the hills and far from gringo civilization hehe. She's the only paisa I know that can speak fluent English and Chinese (Mandarin). She's trying to climb up the Colombian economic ladder, and has travelled to Europe for work. For being 22 yrs old, not too shabby. I've visited her barrio both day and night. Being a chino, I def stood out and people were looking at me like is this chino lost, someone take his ass back to Poblado hehe. The people were friendly and even had groups of kids running up to me like I'm Bruce Lee incarnate. Told them my uncle is Jackie Chan haha.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2657187]ML, I would space it out among agencies. Remitly allows tier 3 members to send $60,000 over a 180 day period and $30,000 over a 30 day period and they have great exchange rates. So use them then Pangea, Western Uniion, Xoom ETC.
Other thing I would consider is going through Rickerocket99's comments and seeing how he set up a bank account in Colombia. Once you have an account, I think doing a bank transfer is a piece of cake. I think Bancocolombia is the easiest place for a foreigner to get a bank account.[/QUOTE]
Please share facebook profiles.
I am trying to build a network of girls on Facebook. Would appreciate if someone can give one or two links to add. I have tried searching but they are not really good.
Its whatever they can get
[QUOTE=Zeos1;2657470]Whatever they ask for. Read the forum and you'll find out the range.[/QUOTE]I had one girl tell me she gets 300-400 USD for videollamada. I am sure you can imagine how the conversation went when I mentioned yo siempre pago 200 l mil pesos why mas por taxi por unos horas etc. Those are the ones who are being spoiled by s1 mps because I actually do believe someone is paying those prices to see a moderately attractive woman naked on cam. I've been on cam sites and see what guys are paying these below average looking girls. It seems they are super entitled on SA though. Had one tell me respete and immediately block me because I called her mami. You will probably pay more than what you pay facebook chicas on SA. Guess I'll have to RTFF because this is new territory for me. Good thing I have a month to do so. Anyone want to make my life a lttle easier can hit my DMs. I haven't really gotten around to quoting any prices with the majority of the ones I am speaking to on SA. I am focusing on just trying to play the lets get a cup of coffee and get to know each other route. I am sure when it comes time to actually make these appointments they will start to be a little more specific on what they want. Some do come out right away and state they are looking for x. Most just say friends with mutual benefits and leave it at that. I am juggling so many that I haven't really gotten into details with most I am speaking to.

Pumpkin makes a good filling
Sunday, everyone deserves a day off. Tell that to mi polla. Did some last minute scrounging. Pumpkin is turning out to be a real gem and she may end up with a ranked number in my Top Ten although so far she has told me she doesn't want one. For those of you who follow, she was a random 30 mil COP random Ground Zero Vennie find. Hawt as fuk. The first two times we balled in Love Motels off of Vera Cruz Church I let her Trans BFF tag along as a confidence builder. They had been best friends since the age of five. She lives equi-walking-distance from where I am staying at The Nutti and Ground Zero. I call it the Purrfekt Triangle. I called her today, Sunday and she was knocking on my door in 20 minutes. She's got one small kid. Mom lives with her, too. Cesarean section scar so the outlet tract has never been stretched but these Vennies snap back like no chicas I have seen anywhere else in the world. Always a pleasure with Pumpkin. A very satisfying 2 hour session. I let her talk me up from 80 to 90 mil COP. No Taxi, she walks. No Tip, feels like I did something little extra nice for her but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. Drogadas, plus it doesn't matter. Synergy.
