Rent out my property in Cartagena
Help renting out my property in La Boquilla frente al mar Here is what changes in this sector and what to put in writing before handing the property over.
Nothing formal is needed to start the conversation; writing in is enough. What makes a first contact productive is arriving with the basics about the property: address or sector, type and approximate size, how many bedrooms and bathrooms, which floor and whether there is an elevator, parking, whether it sits in a condominium, whether it goes out bare or furnished, when it would be available, whether someone occupies it right now, and what income the owner is hoping for. Recent photographs, even from a phone, move things along. From there the talk turns to the state of the property, what is worth fixing before showing it, how that particular area is moving, and what level of support makes sense in your case; afterward you put in writing what will be done, how you will be informed, and how the work is paid. Ask who will look after the property day to day and through which channel. Since this site publishes no listings, options and answers go straight to whoever writes in. What wastes time is asking for help without settling expectations or availability. Dimare Collection answers these inquiries in Cartagena.
What La Boquilla frente al mar is, and what changes there
Being on the front line in La Boquilla is a different proposition from being two blocks inland in the same village, and the difference is not only the view. On the seaward edge, what exists is largely towers and hotel use along the road, while a short distance behind it the fabric turns into the community's own housing, narrow streets and informal construction, with utilities and street conditions that change block by block. So the front line carries a premium that buys more than water: it buys a position inside the formal, permitted part of the corregimiento. It also carries the coastal questions that inland property does not, because the beach itself is public, the tidal strip cannot be privately owned however it looks on the ground, and shoreline erosion and protection works along this stretch are documented concerns. Maintenance differs too, since salt air and exposure act on a seafront facade in a way they do not act a few streets back. For renters, the front line is where lodging concentrates, though whether a specific building permits it is settled by its own rules.

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.
