If it is such a good opportunity, why do the owners want to sell? I am not necessarily doubting you, but I am naturally cautious and skepticle. I mean, rented year round already .... why sell? I did some quick numbers: For a US expat to own the place, with financing coming from a home equity loan here in the US, it would cost around $700 USD per month including admin, etc. That means to break even, the place would have to be rented for 1,250,000 cop per month, on average, 12 months a year.

Do you have any pictures? Don't take my post as me being a smart-ass. These are the things that run through my mind immediately when thinking about investment property opportunities.

The apartment rents for 150,000 per day, 1,750,000 for a 15 day stay and 3 million per month. I give a little bit of a break if they rent for 3 months or more.

On average I clear 1,450,000 cop per month.

The location is great for someone the wants to just walk out of the building and go a couple of blocks to some of the nicest restaurants cafes and clubs Cali has to offer.

The building is super nice but the location is what sets in apart for everything else.

The reason I'm selling is because I want a bigger place.

Here is a link to some photos of the building and apartment:

The building has it's own electrical generator so you don't have to worry about being without power when the lights go out in Cali.

Also included in the price are one garaged parking spot and a private storage space in the basement.

Yeah, I'd say cash only. From what I gather (probably wrong to a point) you couldn't even get a loan in the states for a place in Colombia.

That much rent for an apartastudio????? Geez it's time to go.

"In Medellin, I can get a luxury 3 bedroom apartment in Poblado for 800,000 pesos a month. Can you beat that price?"

Is that an "arms length transaction"? Or a special discount open to you only?

Cali-Medellin. Two completely different birds. Hard to rent a place in Cali. You need connections. They are out there, but takes alot of research. Seems like AB is right on with his rentals. IMHO

Cali is not a basket case compared to medellin economically, what makes it seem a basket case is the public infrastructure, since the damned politicians steal all the tax revenue. Highend private projects in Cali, specialy in the wests die, are sprouting like mushrooms.

It is the public infrastructure that is in a shambles and you really can't compare fajardo in medellin and penalosa, mockus and the others in bogota to the world class thieves they've had in cali the last several years.
