Brad,
My wife and I are currently seperated and, in the event of a divorce, I am thinking of selling my modest home in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and buying something affordable in Colombia for my retirement.
I am a pensioner of modest means so price and location will be major factors.
I am currently working as a Condominium manager in Miramar but would leave if I relocate.
I have been in residential property management for approx. 35 years.
I have a very well trained and behaved dog. Are there restrictions for pets in some of your properties?
I speak very little Spanish. Only English and Yiddish.
I have a close friend (and my accountant also) who has a place in Colombia with his Colombian wife and he has told me great things about living there.
He feels that my monthly Social Security payments would be more than enough to cover any and all expenses there.
I hope you and your team can find me something suitable in the future.

A bit misleading on the expat buyer data buyer numbers. For example most expats choose Poblado or Laureles so i am sure the percentage of gringo buyers is higher in these zones.

Hello. As a foreign buyer from the states, is buying with cash necessary or is a mortgage with a large down payment an option?

Is it possible to purchase a modern (think all the amenities available) apartment in/or around “El Poblado” for lets say 100k to 150k fully furnished? I’d love to buy one, rent it out Air BNB throughout the year and keep it in my back pocket for whenever I’m out there. Any American on this site have real first hand experience on going through this process? I’d love to hear about it.

Hello George,

Sabaneta has become more popular among expats in recent years. You can find more information about Sabaneta and other Medellin neighborhoods in the following articles:

Hi Brad,
My wife and I are in Medellin through Saturday. We are looking to relocate/retire in Medellin, in the El Poblado, Laureles or Sabaneta areas. We don’t speak Spanish (yet), but I know limited words/phrases, but can’t carry on a conversation. Are you (or, anybody are your staff) able to show us some properties? We are looking for 2 bed/2 bath options. Prefer modern amenities. Let me know please.
Regards,
Kent
