How to Buy Property Abroad Without Getting Wrecked (FX, Property & Rules)

Описание: Most people who buy property abroad overpay for gringo-priced assets, chase visa condos, or ignore the rules until it’s a problem.

In this first episode of On-Chain Abroad, I’ll give you the simple framework I use to judge any country or city before I even think about buying:

3 Layers of Return:
▸ FX – Are you bringing strong money (USD/crypto) into a weaker currency, or is there no real FX upside?
▸ Asset – Is this a place locals and long-stay visitors actually want, or just tourist inventory in disguise?
▸ Structure – Can you legally live there, rent it out (short or mid-term), and move money in and out without drama?

Then I’ll walk through the OCA Filter, my 5-step checklist for evaluating a move or a deal:
1️⃣ Country (FX & macro)
2️⃣ City & neighborhood (local vs foreigner bubble)
3️⃣ The specific deal (numbers + exit)
4️⃣ Visa & rules (visa-neutral vs “visa souvenir”)
5️⃣ Rails (how money actually moves in and out)

This channel is for people who earn in USD or crypto and are thinking about:
▸ living abroad most of the year
▸ owning 1–3 income-producing units (short/mid-term or furnished rentals)
▸ or building a hybrid “home base” that mostly pays for itself

Season 1 focuses on Colombia (Medellín) and Mexico (Mexico City) as the first two labs. Most of what I share works even if you’re just a normal remote worker getting paid in dollars.

In the next episodes we’ll get into:
▸ who should buy vs just rent
▸ Medellín vs Mexico City as a base
▸ real listing breakdowns in each city
▸ and how a closing actually works as a foreigner.

Drop a comment with the city you’re most curious about, and I’ll add it to the list for a future deep dive.
