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
