Oh, thanks for making my country more expensive.

Great video Siayan. I've lived in Cali for 2.5 yrs but I'm too much of a homebody and an introvert to claim to be an expert. Nevertheless, I really like Cali, there is so much to recommend it, especially for a Black gringo but I have a couple of comments about the rental market. I currently pay 1.65 million pesos per month for an unfurnished Aparte-studio in Centenario which includes utilities, wifi, and a washing machine. I'm paying a bit of gringo tax but I just checked Criagslist from Oakland and while it looks like the prices are coming down a bit (Yay!) I know I would be paying at least 4x as much for an equivalent unit back home without utilities. However, I think you MUST be a local and/or have excellent Spanish and previous Cali connections to not only get but tolerate a unit this cheap. Cali can be extremely noisy and hot in a way that most gringos can't tolerate. Unless your Spanish is excellent and you have local friends and connections to vouch for you I don't think that you would be able to find someplace like this or get them to rent to you. I was lucky that I found an Airbnb guy who liked me who had a cousin who owned a building. Still, he only rented to me initially because I already had a long-term pensioner's visa, a Colombian bank account, and a friend who would co-sign the rental agreement for me. We still had to get the agreement notarized and I had to give two months deposit. I might be wrong but I think your chances of renting any long-term apartment especially a nice one in a nice neighborhood are slim if you don't have these things. Also keep in mind that the majority of real estate agents here are trash. I think they get paid for not responding and not renting to people. It's possible to find someplace but it's going to take a long time and it's going to be hard work. I think the best option for most new gringo's who are staying for intermediate and long term is to "lower" your expectations of cheap rent and find an Airbnb that a neighborhood they like and negotiate to rent it long term. I think most gringos should budget for an $750 per month to start but I think that will get you a nice place in a nice neighborhood with good amenities and then you can work on finding a cheaper place.

Hey Siayan I appreciate your informative videos 👍

Saiyan. Congratulations, you are innovating your content with very interesting approaches. If you continue with this creativity I assure you that this year 2024 you will grow a lot. Thank you again for believing in and loving our city so much.

$180 is a good price but we also have to remember she is a local. A foreigner will have a difficult time getting the same price. Prices will be different for us.

im living for 100 dollars a month in medellin... the deals are out there. find a local.

Great interview! Thanks for the amazing content. Really informative and authentic

Saiyan Chan is the only KZfaqr who interviews REAL beautiful Colombian women. He's the undercover Asian "Hugh Hefner" 😂😂

Dang❗️😳 Only $180 a month. If the neighborhood is safe then I might have to check that place out during a trip to Cali.

Hey, can you ask her how did she get lucky finding this

Hola tio Saiyan! Which barrio is this apartment in? Gracias! ASE!

Nice little spot for the money but one can't help notice the heavy steel security sliding gate on her patio door. For the owner to invest in that must say something.

Will you take the time and make a Video about Pescos to break it down, show us what they look like & compare to US Currencies? It would mean a lot too Me.

Seems like a bargain

Is that signing up with a 6-12 month lease as a local with a cedula?

Desent place.......my question would be, if you are a gringo 1. Would you get that price? 2. Would it be safe enough?

nice video. Where to do you always find such nice ladies?

How can I find properties like this to rent? I’m looking for a 6month lease but month to onto would be perfect.

I'm paying $370 a month for an upscale three-bedroom 1st floor condo in a gated community, with a pool outside my window, shops and restaurants outside my gate, and a mall within 5 minutes walking distance. Also, the weather is absolutely perfect year round. Also 😂 Cali is trash by comparison.

Bro i need to contact you.
