Project the long-term return on a Medellín property — past the headline appreciation rate, through fees, into what actually lands in your pocket.
Pre-tax. Capital gains in Colombia are 15% for residents on properties held under 2 years, 0% after — we’ll talk you through your situation.
A 50% return over ten years sounds great. The same money in the S&P would have done 200%. Always compare annualized — that's the only number that lets you weigh the deal against the alternatives.
And remember: real estate appreciation is regional and cyclical. Medellín has had a strong decade, but the next decade is its own conversation. Don't extrapolate.
