Why some Investors Are Looking at Colombian Real Estate and abroad Right Now
The Opportunity Everyone's Talking About
While everyone's fighting over overpriced properties in the U.S., smart investors are quietly building wealth in one of the most undervalued markets in the Western Hemisphere: Colombia.
I just got back from Cartagena, and what I saw blew my mind. We're talking Miami Beach vibes at 1/3 the price, with cash flow that makes U.S. properties look like a joke.
Let me break down the numbers.
The Dreams Karibana Example:
Real Numbers
Property: 3-bed/3-bath beachfront resort condo
Purchase Price: $250,000 USD
Location: Caribbean coast, world-class resort amenities
Annual Revenue:
- High season rates: $280-$350/night
- Average occupancy: 70-85%
- Gross annual income: $65,000-$80,000
Operating Expenses:
- Management, HOA, utilities, cleaning, maintenance
- Total expenses: $37,000-$40,000/year
Net Annual Cash Flow: $28,000-$40,000
That's a 11-16% cash-on-cash return, PLUS 6-10% annual appreciation.
Compare that to U.S. markets where you're lucky to see 6-8% returns after expenses.
Why Colombia? Why Now?
1. Entry Cost is 50-70% Lower Than U.S. You can own a beachfront property outright for what a down payment costs in Miami or California.
2. Tourism is EXPLODING
- 15%+ annual growth in international visitors
- New infrastructure (airports, highways, resorts)
- Digital nomads and expats flooding in
3. You Earn in Dollars, Spend in Pesos Airbnb pays you in USD, but your expenses are in Colombian pesos. When the peso weakens, your profit margins increase.
4. Appreciation Upside Cartagena today is where Tulum was 10 years ago, where Miami was 20 years ago. You're getting in early.
5. Lifestyle Bonus This isn't just an investment—it's YOUR Caribbean beachfront property. Use it, enjoy it, write off the trips.
The Wealth-Building Strategy
Here's how everyday people are making this happen:
Step 1: Build Your Capital
- Service business income (tax prep, consulting, freelancing)
- Strategic crypto investments (BTC/ETH with disciplined DCA)
- W-2 income + aggressive saving
Step 2: Deploy Strategically
- $250K all-cash purchase = maximum cash flow, zero debt
- OR partner with an investor and split equity/returns
- OR use developer financing (if available)
Step 3: Let It Multiply
- $30K-$40K annual passive income
- Property appreciates 6-10% per year
- Reinvest profits into property #2
5-Year Projection:
- Cash flow: $140K-$200K
- Appreciation: $65K-$100K
- Total return: $205K-$300K (82-120% ROI)
The Risks (Let's Be Real)
Yes, there are risks:
- Political/economic instability (Colombia has stabilized significantly)
- Property management challenges (partner with local experts)
- Currency fluctuations (you earn in USD, so this is mitigated)
- Legal/regulatory navigation (hire a local attorney)
But here's the thing: Every high-return investment has risk. The key is calculated risk with expert guidance.
That's why if you are interested then partner with local real estate expert and my partner Claudia Arevalo, who knows the market inside and out.
Is This For You?
This makes sense if:
✅ You have $100K-$300K in investable capital
✅ You want 10-16% cash-on-cash returns
✅ You're comfortable with international investing
✅ You want geographic diversification
✅ You'd actually use and enjoy the property
This might NOT be for you if:
❌ You need liquidity (real estate is illiquid)
❌ You're risk-averse and want guaranteed returns
❌ You can't handle the complexity of international transactions
❌ You're not willing to partner with local experts
The Bottom Line
Colombian real estate—specifically Cartagena—offers a rare combination:
- Lower entry cost than U.S. markets
- Higher cash flow than traditional rentals
- Strong appreciation potential in an emerging market
- Lifestyle benefits you can't put a price on
This isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. It's a strategic wealth-building play for investors who see the opportunity before the masses catch on.
In 5-10 years, people will say: "I wish I'd bought in Cartagena back in 2025."
Don't be that person.
