Heard stories about 10%+ rental yields south of the border? What if those dream returns came with a nightmare of legal hurdles and cash-only deals? This isn't for the faint of heart; it's for the adventurous investor.

On this episode (Ep 67) of the 5-Minute PRIME Podcast, host Martin Maxwell continues the journey into international real estate by getting into the weeds of two high-potential, high-complexity markets: Mexico and Colombia. We're looking past the glossy brochures to understand the real risks and rewards.

Tune in to learn:

  • Mexico's Fideicomiso Explained: The on-the-ground reality of using a bank trust to buy coastal property and why it's a hurdle you must understand.
  • Colombia's Title Risk Nightmare: Why the lack of title insurance makes a flawless legal due diligence (estudio de títulos) the single most important step to avoid losing your entire investment.
  • The "Cash is King" Advantage: A breakdown of why financing is so difficult for foreigners in these markets and how being a cash buyer gives you a powerful negotiating edge.
  • The Numbers vs. The Hassle: How to weigh the potential for 8-14% rental yields against the very real operational headaches of investing in these dynamic countries.
