SEEKING PROPERTY

antiguru says on Oct 2, 2008, 17:15:

4000 square meters, or roughly 43000 square feet. at between 1 million and 2 million per square meter, that's between 4,000 and 8,000 million or roughly $2-4 million bucks. are these numbers correct?
i am in Medellin, bought a house yesterday. Once you confirm the numbers, I might be able to offers some help.
in case your interested, here's a clip of a malinois i bought in mexico, had trained in cuba, and sold in the USA.

ANTIGURU, NO THOSE NUMBERS DON'T SEEM RIGHT AT ALL

I'M NOT A MILLIONAIRE LOL

ISN'T THIS POOR BUT HAPPY?

CONGRATS ON YOUR HOUSE PURCHASE BY THE WAY. I'M NOT LOOKING IN POBLADO, BUT NEAR IT.

TRYING TO STAY WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF THAT AREA AS THATS WHERE MOST OF THE CLIENTEL WILL COME FROM.

ALEJIN, NO IM LOOKING FOR IN MEDELLIN ONLY, BUT THANKS.

ANTIGURU IF YOU COULD THROW ME YOUR REALTORS NUMBER I'D APPRECIATE IT.

So bordas, thanks for some clarification....can you go further. how big a lot are you looking for in square meters, and how many square feet of facilities. your idea is great where dog culture is big. what has your market research shown for Medellin? how many families own dogs, what are they willing to spend on them, etc.? the other day i saw a mobile dog grooming trailer in the parking lot of my apartment building....very entrepreneurial.

WELL ANTI-GURU MY MARKET RESEARCH CONSISTED OF WANTING TO BREED ROUGH COLLIES HERE IN MEDELLIN COLOMBIA. THERE AREN'T ANY HERE AND AFTER ATTENDING DOG SHOWS WE WERE REALLY INTO IT AND KNEW WE COULD DO IT.

HOWEVER, A RESPONSIBLE BREEDER IS LUCKY IF HE/SHE BREAKS EVEN. THATS WHEN WE RESEARCHED DOG DAY CARES IN THE UNITED STATES.

HAVING SEEN THEM AND ALL THE SUB SERVICES THEY HAVE (VETERNERIAN, GROOMING, TRAINING, ETC) WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE COLOMBIAN VERSION IN BOGOTA.

BELIEVE ME BOGOTA IS PRETTY STRAIGHT, EVEN WITH POOLS TO REHABILITATE DOGS.

THEN WE LOOKED AT THE ONES IN THE MEDELLIN AREA,

THERE IS ONE IN POBLADO, THE DOGS ARE LOCKED IN SMALL FENCES OUTSIDE AND UNATTENDED, ABOUT 4 OR 5 DOGS TO A SMALL FENCED AREA. THERE IS NO ONE PLAYING WITH THEM OR EVEN REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM AT ALL.

THAT PLACE GETS THE BUSINESS BECAUSE ITS THE ONLY ONE NEAR AND ALSO BOASTS A 24 HOUR ANIMAL HOSPITAL AND ANIMAL AMBULANCES.

THEN TODAY WE WENT TO ONE IN COPA CABANA

TALK ABOUT SAD

EVEN THOUGH THIS WOMAN HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH LAND, ALL THE DOGS WERE IN PRISON CELLS.

SHE USES ANCIENT KENNEL TYPE FACILITY WITHOUT "RUNS"

BASICALLY THE DOG IS LOCKED IN ITS SMALL CAGE AND CAN BE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE BUT NO WHERE TO RUN.

STILL THE DOGS ARE ALONE WITHOUT ANY ATTENTION FOR 80% OF THE DAY.

THE DOGS WOULD ONLY GET 2 HOURS FREE OF THEIR CELL FOR EXERCISE SHE CLAIMED.

AFTER SEEING THESE WE ARE MORE THAN MOTIVATD TO TAKE ON THIS BUSINESS AND FORCE IT INTO THE AMERICAN ANIMAL LOVING VERSION.

LARGE PLAY ROOMS INSIDE, LARGE PLAY ROOMS OUTSIDE, NAP ROOMS, AN AGILITY COURSE, A VETERNARY HOSPITAL, A GROOMING AND GROOMING SCHOOL, AND OC COURSE A SMALL CAFE :) THIS IS OUR VISION.

WE DO IT FOR THE DOGS, THEY DESERVE IT.

love your idea. i helped a top Cuban dog trainer escape to Spain and he's interested in a similar facility there. WAG hotel recently opened a state-of-the-art facility in San Francisco in the warehouse district. i think a good location might be along La 30 where the new metroplus is going to run. a lot of stores there are in trouble because they have lost parking on both sides of the street, but drop offs an picks up would work in your model and you could offer transport as well. a friend of mine recently purchased an 8x30 meter lot (with a 300 square meter house on it, 1.5 floors) for 260,000,000 or roughly 130,000USD. i'll find out who his agent was for that area of town if you are interested.
there are lots of old houses there ripe for commercial conversion (too much traffic for residences now, and not enough parking for retail, so warehouse use like yours is ideal....prices are around 1,000,000pesos a square meter). i think you'll need about 400 square meters, about $200,000 plus another $100,000 for your build out. looking for a partner with local connections?

It's not that I was shouting, it's that the computer I was on has a broken caps lock key.
Not sure what the troll stuff is about though, lol.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

BORDAS95B says on Oct 3, 2008, 06:59:

Lol, I'm not selling guard dogs. A guarderia is the Colombian way of saying a Dog Day Care. If your going on vacation or while your at work, you bring us your dog, we leave it free to play with other dogs the same size under playful human supervision inside and outside. We will have an agility course if your dog wants to run and jump, as well as a grooming salon and grooming school because there are not any in Medellin. Also want to have a Veternerian hospital on the premises. Eventually will have mobile grooming and veternary emergency response. Think I covered everything. lol But the animal world is always growing.

Hey Bordas

Here is the cell number for a good comisionista. Honest, hard working, willing to work with other agents (not the type that only shows you his listings).

His name is Gerardo Acevedo 313 688 8516

I am happy to help out with any translation/interpretation, no charge (it's a hobby/passion of mine)

I will translate some of the stuff you have written here so he has an idea of what the project is about.

Good luck!

BORDAS95B says on Oct 6, 2008, 12:33:

Thanks dwmte7, Ill look into that. Did you happen to see any lots there by the Zoo for sale?

And exactly what Exito bro?

dwmte7 says on Oct 6, 2008, 19:07:

sorry, bordas...that would be poblado on lower cl 10..you'll want to turn south.

the zoological area is fitting in re your desire to possibly convert or tear down. lots, i don't know about that. but there's lots of factories and ware houses around that area.

too..out on the autopista towards itagui/sabaneta, you'll still find open land. or another locale you might not have thought about, is llano grande..you certainly have the built in clientele, all finca owners and lots of animals perros y mas. and lots of land.

anymore, i like to spend my time up there as i'm a city burnout......did my time.
