Rent out my property in Cartagena
Handover record for a tenant in H2 Condominio Here is what changes in this sector and what to put in writing before handing the property over.
Handover is a concrete act performed the day the occupant takes the keys, and it deserves to be treated as a proceeding rather than a quick errand. You walk the apartment space by space with the incoming resident present, test what works in front of them, note every mark and scratch, read the meters, count and label keys and remotes, and sign a report in which both sides acknowledge the condition received, backed by dated photographs. In the same session you explain the practical things: the breaker panel, the main water valve, the trash and service areas, building hours, who to call at the administration office, and where a fault gets reported. Write down anything still pending from the owner and the date it is due. What tends to go wrong is handing over remotely, sending keys with a third party, and later finding damage with no way to date it. The list of goods inside the unit is built separately and is work of its own; handover is simply when that list gets checked and signed. Dimare Collection attends this step in the city.
What H2 Condominio is, and what changes there
Its name identifies this as a condominium on the Morros and Manzanillo strip, the line of gated seafront developments heading north out of Cartagena between the Anillo Vial and the water. The word in the name states the format outright: what is owned is a private unit, while common areas, access control and the internal utilities serving the complex are collective and are funded through dues that an owners' assembly approves each period. For anyone weighing this against a neighboring project, the file to read is the building's, from the registered bylaws and the assembly minutes to the condition of the reserve fund, and the comparison worth making is with the adjacent complexes, which vary in size, in how close they sit to the water and in what their shared spaces actually provide. The particulars of this development, how advanced the work is and whether any unit in it can be offered get confirmed one at a time against current paperwork. Short-stay occupancy is decided inside the condominium itself, through the rules its owners have adopted.

Mexican buyer
Two currencies are called pesos in this transaction, so always say which one you mean: the contract is signed in Colombian pesos while the money leaves in Mexican pesos. The transfer is converted, enters through the regulated exchange market with its declaración de cambio and is registered as foreign investment with the Banco de la República, which is who to ask about how and in whose name. The poder for signing from abroad is granted before a Colombian consul in the city where you live or before a notario público and then apostilled, and which of the two the Cartagena notarÃa wants is confirmed with that notarÃa and with the CancillerÃa before you fly anywhere to sign. Visa rules and the cédula de extranjerÃa are not the same for every nationality and belong to Migración Colombia: entering without a visa to visit the city and settling in it are two different situations. The tax question to settle with an accountant in each country is whether a treaty exists between Colombia and your country and what it says about rental income and about ganancia ocasional.
