Hello everyone,
I have been looking for an apartment for the last two weeks. I found some for less than 1,400,000. The issue is that they all required fiador, which I obviously do not have. There's one owner who is interested I rent his place. The price listed on Financaraiz is 1,000,000 for 58m^2, it is a 2 bedrooms apartment in the north of Barranquilla. Since I don't have the required documents to take the place with Financaraiz, which is the real estate company handling his apartment. The owner told me two days ago he can rent me the place for 1,700,000. I rejected the offer since the place is small for the price. I saw many listings, especially 3 bedrooms for less that price in the north also. I asked him if he could do 1,300,000 which he rejected immediately. He said he will let it go for 1,500,000 administration and utilities included. Can you please advise if this is a good price for a 2 bedrooms apartment in the north of Barranquilla? I feel like since he knows I'm a gringo, he wants to overcharge me. He would've let it go for 1,000,000 if I could give the required documents to Financaraiz.
