As the middle classes expand in Colombia, you could make nice capital gains but that is of course speculation.Bear in mind that Medellin, although still cheaper than Bogota or Cartagena, has seen its real estate prices doubled since 2011.

Specifically Medellin but maybe other places as well.Thank you.

Quote from @Stephanie Medellin: Hi @Sandra Roddy, you could certainly do cash out DSCR loans on a few of the rental properties to cover these expenses, but you would need to choose the properties that don't have significant deferred maintenance to qualify for the loans. 

@Medellin HeelMake sure you watch the insurance and tax really closely.

My mom and most of my family still live in Medellin and some in Bogota.

I care solely for passive rental income with this part of my portfolio but I am happy to learn to remodel with a hired crew and architect if it signifcantly increases passive income returns.How to Get Started:I need to be on the ground walking looking for for sale signs as I take a trip through Bogota, Cali, Medellin, and Santa Marta.

Hey Stephen, I live in Medellin Colombia and I have real estate experience here in Colombia and in the US.

Hello All,I've been thinking about getting a vacation rental in either Buenos Aires, Argentina or Medellin, Colombia.

Martin I just message him on FB that I am coming down to Medellin in 5 days and book a flight (see you Thursday)The local meetups and national events are great. 

Quote from @Stephanie Medellin: I'd guess it's a smaller lender or bank that might keep its loans.
