After three years of building a boutique hotel resort in Colombia, it's finally time to pull back the curtain. This episode dives into the real opportunities, and unexpected challenges, of international real estate development. If you've ever considered building or investing abroad, this behind-the-scenes breakdown reveals what most investors never see… and what you must prepare for.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why Colombia's tourism boom created a compelling (but competitive) investment opportunity
  • The hidden risks of international construction projects—including permits and delays
  • How exchange rates can significantly impact your returns (for better or worse)
  • What makes this boutique resort uniquely positioned to stand out in a crowded market
  • Real numbers: costs, projected revenue, and what a 20% return could look like

International investing can unlock massive upside—but only if you're prepared for the long game. This episode offers a rare, transparent look at what it takes to bring a project like this to life. If you're serious about scaling your portfolio, this is one you don't want to miss.
