I would be careful not being honest with these companies as it can be huge penalties etc. if you are not using the information in a fashion they say you are going to be using it for. 

You can't compete against the all-inclusives unless you offer complimentary food and booze or you're cheap, as you seem to be confirming.This being said:1) Properties in Mexico/Cancun trade in USD so you have no foreign exchange risk in Mexico while properties in Colombia are traded in COP, the Colombian peso, which has been tanking over the years, eliminating any hope for capital gains for American investors.2) You can get a mortgage in Mexico but you can't in Colombia so even with lower revenue, Cancun would likely still be more profitable, even if you don't take capital gains into account.3) The political risk is much higher in Colombia, especially at this present time.Is Cartagena a bad investment?

For example, I'm with a local (not local to you) American Legion that is always open to conversations.

Quote from @Jason Varga: Hi all, I am an American expat looking to buy a duplex in Cleveland.

I have all my properties with American Modern and Allstate.  

Did you know 94% of Americans don't own a single investment property? 

I expect rents to go up a lot because less and less Americans can afford a house over time plus folks are far more mobile now so they may be inclined to rent vs buy.

Ok so the next update on the 1522 Latham 38106 project.After a series of storms rolled through the area, the grass was not cut in a timely fashion.

Something does not check out. 1) the reps have very American sounding first and last name but their accents are completely not.

Per this NY Times article, the average American knows around 600 people.https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/19/science/the-average-american-knows-how-many-people.html#:~:text=The%20average%20American%20knows%20about,do%20you%20know%20named%20Kevin%3FPer the US Census Bureau, the average American moves 11.7 time in their life, which based upon an approximate lifespan of 84 years, works out to be about every 7 years.https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/calculating-migration-expectancy.html#:~:text=Using%202007%20ACS%20data%2C%20it,one%20move%20per%20single%20yearSo, if the average American knows 600 people and they each move about every 7 years, that means that the average American knows around 85 people that move in any given year.How many of those moves do you want to be involved in?
