. ;)  I've been investing in Medellin since 2015, believe it or not I actually have a remodeling show on local TV here called Vida en Remodelacion (check it out on instagram)...very few people have more boots on the ground experience. 

I had a protege do a garage conversion 1 en-suite BR, 1.5 Ba ADU with slightly high finishes (granite, wood cabinets/vanity, tile in kitchen and bathroom, LVF elsewhere, indoor laundry) around 5 years ago.

This is absolutely NOT an endorsement or solicitation of this product, but I have been pretty impressed with Rustoleum products to date, and how they can "transform" certain aesthetic aspects of my rentals.https://www.rustoleum.com/en/product-catalog/consumer-brands/specialty/stainless-steel

Toronto has a premium that I have no experience with, though I've heard it is simply double.I guess I mis-remembered - here it is from the Gov of Ont web site https://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/bulletins/ltt/2_2005....Effective January 1, 2017, the tax rates for land transfer tax will depend on the date of the agreement of purchase and sale.If an agreement of purchase and sale is entered into after November 14, 2016, and registration or the disposition occurs on or after January 1, 2017, the tax rates on the value of the consideration are as follows:amounts up to and including $55,000: 0.5%amounts exceeding $55,000, up to and including $250,000: 1.0%amounts exceeding $250,000, up to and including $400,000: 1.5%amounts exceeding $400,000: 2.0%amounts exceeding $2,000,000, where the land contains one or two single family residences: 2.5%.and yes Toronto is double.Not sure about prices in London, Windsor, Hamilton or other locations but in Toronto, just the land value of a lot in most cases will be much higher then $400,000.

If you chose to not "renew" her existing lease, which for a MTM agreement is every month, you'll have to pay her $10,600 in relocation assistance: https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/bacp/s...For insurance, check out State Farm, very competitive rates in my experience.
