Is Medellin still a safe bet in 2022?

Or, did you simply bet on appreciation during the time of purchase, while looking for something that would at least break even?

Your best bet to see what their requirements are early on so you can start planning.Good Luck!

If you have limited access to historical numbers to base your underwriting off of, then using a determined amount per unit is a safer bet. 

My PM uses Buildium and as a client it's OK.You'll get lots of people chime in about using quickbooks and appfolio as well I bet.

After thinking long and hard on our situation and possible income achievable we feel real estate is the best bet for were we live. 

I'm saying that if a seller says he collects x amount each month but his taxes say he collects half that,  then you can bet your life I'm going back to the negotiation table with a lower price.

I'm betting I purely location.

Each real estate transaction is a one-off unique situation, of course, but the take-away for me is that this gives (additional) reason to believe that if one wants long-term tenants, a rental property in a neighborhood that consists mostly owner occupied residents (eg, this is one of the few rental properties in the neighborhood) might on average be a slightly better bet holding constant everything else.

They know every painter that comes in there to shop and can makes recommendations.Also,try the local paint stores like Sherman Williams and others to see which painters shop there.I bet the salesman have family members who are painters or know who the best painters are around there.
