Does anyone know..?

Hi all

I am working two jobs at the moment to be able to buy apartments in Colombia, i was born in Bogota but i have lived all most all my life in Holland, i also have the dutch nationality right now. Unfortunatly all mayor banks and finacial organisations here in Holland said no to my request to obtain a morgtgage on houses abroad Holland itself.
My question is does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a mortgage via a well respected bank in Colombia for example Conavi while living and working in Holland.
Futhermore is there anyone who knows if it's possible to obtain a colombian cedula ( identidy card )??
Any information/help is HIGHLY appreciated,

Saludos muy cordial,
Evelia

Colombian mortgage You can only get a Colombian mortgage if you have a Colombian income.

Colombian ID card you will only get if you get a business/tourist/etc visa.

So there is no way a colombian bank will give out a mortgage by receiving a garantee from my bank here in Holland stating that i have a steady income??

pointofview There is at least one fiduciary in Colombia that make (or services) USA dollar loans at rates of about 8-9% for Colombian properties to USA residents and resident aliens based on USA credit history. I will find out the name (and link) and inquire about other their policy regarding other countries. I think there activities are not just limited to USA residents.

Even if you could obtain a peso loan from a Colombian bank you wouldn't want it because the interest rate is going to be in the range of 15-18%

Buying Property In Colombia Evelia:

Go to "Friendly Talkzone" then to page 2 and the third item from the bottom of the page. Then go to Luisa's Photo Gallery" and you will get some pictures during construction. You can get some information there. Phone or e-mail if you want more information.
Enjoy.
