Thank you for that reply. Yes people are telling me to rent for awhile instead of buying immediately. I only know Poblado so the place that I chose is in Poblado.  But I know that is not the only safe area in all of Medellin. I could certainly get a lot more for my money outside of Poblado.

I love Poblado, Dave, and I think that's a great place for USA Expats, with its health care, restaurants, shopping, landmarks and beauty.  I always stay in Poblado when I am in MDE, including early this year pre-pandemic, and would live in that sector if I moved longterm to the city.  Some call Poblado the Beverly Hills of Colombia.

Your uncertainty about whether to live in Poblado is another reason to rent at your new home when you arrive in the Paisa capital.  You might eventually find another sector where your housing money would go further, but as a newcomer of course you don't know which sector that would be.  You'd need time to explore some.
