Here's what you can buy with $200K
You've got 3 scenarios to choose from
#1. High-rise condo in the heart of downtown
Ideal for those who want to be in the heart of the action and enjoy the convenience of walking everywhere.
#2. Amazing view of the mountains
Great for scenic views while still being just 10-15 minutes away from the city center.
#3. Buy a ranch and build your dream
Ideal for those seeking country living, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle of the city while still being just 30 minutes away.
A word from our founder
Hi there! I’m from Houston, Texas, and I’m here to help you adjust and thrive
When I turned 40, I decided to start a new life in Medellín, Colombia. My experience was so positive that I formed a team called Checkmate to help others do the same.
How it Works 🔍
I moved here on January 1st, and by August 16th, I’ve enrolled my daughters in school, bought and renovated a property, and secured a Colombian investor visa, bank account, tourism permit, health insurance, and an Airbnb. Fast transition! Couldn’t be happier! You can do it too.
