Chris, I gotta say your takeaway is impressive, to say the least.

Know your requirements and they will be more impressed.  

First impression going down the driveway is "this is home".

Location proximity with nearby retail that is popular and fits with your investment, amenities within walking distance,population and job growth, access during peak traffic times, within 1 mile of a highway, plenty of parking on site ability to add value, the demand of the occupants in that area, and positive cash flow if you are looking for rentals with no guessing, and on-site amenities that are popular, trees and exterior landscaping. exterior looks,  go by actual income and costs instead of pro forma, pay attention to your gut feelings when you drive by, and first impression.

I was under the impression that the properties posted by realtors on the MLS were already marked up at retail with no meat left on the bone for an investor.

And in Bogotá it seems to me that rates and occupation are relatively low so it is my impression that only few people make much more on airbnb than they would on permanent rentals.I will have to look into other strategies... maybe foreclosures or building.What kind of opportunities are you looking at in Medellín?

Jalen, that is so impressive and very inspirational!
