    In this video, will take you on a condo and house tour again since you liked our last video so much!
    We will show you 2 different condos and 2 houses. This time we will be in El Poblado, Envigado and Sabaneta.
    Please be aware, that houses in Colombia are not like houses in other countries like the US for instance. Even if you live in a house you'll still share the walls with your neighbors.
    On top of that, there are not nearly as many houses as condos. It is a lot easier to get a nice apartment in a good and safe neighborhood, keep that in mind when thinking about getting a house in Medellín.

    These places seem good if you're an expat already living in Colombia who's done with single life, married and looking to start a family. Unfortunately, if you're a single guy looking to get his feet wet and get a starter place in Colombia, 3 or 4 bedrooms is not for me(( Understandably agents want to sell their more expensive properties. What about showing premium studio/one-bedroom places in Poblado and Laureles? Anyway, that's my feedback, keep up the great work guys. Your channel is an amazing resource for those of us new to Colombia!

    This reminds me of when citizens of wealthy countries fled to Cosa Rica to live there. A $30,000 house quickly became a $250,000 house. I would be okay with that if the wages paid to the construction workers justified the cost. However, they seldom do.

    Unless you are a multi millionaire and have money to burn...buying real estate is a really bad idea for ex-pats...for so many reasons.
    Just rent...it’s inexpensive...and if ever you want to move away from a crazy neighbor...a horrible new construction site...or if you want to move between cities or other countries...you’re out by the end of the month.
    Not to mention upkeep...do you really want to maintain a property in a country that you don’t know who to call for help and probably in a language that you don’t even speak.

      Your attitude is well placed and it is excellent that in order to be millionaires one need to have minimum liabilities and only income generating assets. For USA citizen buying in Colombia is lose making concepts as dollar is strengthening regularly. Apartments will lose value in dollars terms.

    I advise people to buy a piece of land and then build the house in a period of months, rather than buying the property already built. This is how my father did it in the 90's and saved a lot of money.

    The residency in which the 1st house is located is called Gascuña. It's where my wife's family lives. It's a great place to raise kids, 5min driving from Envigado city center, 15min driving from Poblado (fancy restaurants) and 20min from the country side.

    Hey guys great video, and these are indeed amazing properties! however, if i buy a house in Medellin, I'd be looking for something a bit smaller 2 or 3 bedrooms is more than enough, a little outside back garden is lovely but generally, i'm kind of in the same mindset as Jason mentioned, he's a young single guy, and I'm an old single guy, small place is easier to take care of. Thanks.

      Two Blocks from Parque Poblado. I think it's Castropol
