Remote ownership, locally operated

Built for owners who cannot be on-site every week.

Medellin Living is designed for foreign investors, absentee owners, and busy local owners who want professional operations without personally handling every guest, cleaner, repair, and pricing decision.

Who we serve

A practical fit for the right owner and the right property.

The strongest partnerships begin with realistic expectations, a quality apartment, legal/building suitability, and a shared commitment to the guest experience.

Owner profile

Foreign & absentee owners

You own in Medellín but live elsewhere, travel frequently, or cannot manage local operations personally.

Property profile

Quality 1-3 bedroom apartments

Well-located, well-presented units with the condition and amenities needed to compete responsibly.

Operating mindset

Long-term, professional ownership

You value the asset, understand operating expenses, and prefer sustainable performance over shortcuts.

Communication

Owners who want visibility

You want clear updates, defined approvals, and reporting rather than being left in the dark.

Expectations

Realistic revenue expectations

You understand that pricing, occupancy, and returns vary and should never be represented as guaranteed.

Compliance

Suitable building and legal setup

The owner is prepared to confirm the property's legal, building, registration, and insurance requirements.

Quality over unit count.A strong property and owner fit is more valuable than adding a poor-performing unit simply to grow the portfolio.
The owner experience

Hands-off does not mean uninformed.

The goal is to remove repetitive operational work while preserving owner control over the asset and major financial decisions.

  • Clear onboarding
    Access, scope, approvals, calendars, expenses, and communication expectations are defined up front.
  • Local issue coordination
    Cleaners, vendors, guest problems, and property access are handled on the ground.
  • Owner approvals where appropriate
    Major repairs and material decisions follow the approval process in the agreement.
  • Organized performance visibility
    Owners receive structured information rather than a stream of disconnected messages.
Selective by design

Not every apartment is a fit.

Saying no to the wrong property protects the owner, the guest experience, and the quality of the management portfolio.

  • 1
    Buildings that do not permit the intended activity.
    Owners must confirm legal and building suitability before operation.
  • 2
    Poor-condition or poorly equipped units.
    Properties may need repairs, furnishing, photography, or setup work before launch.
  • 3
    Owners expecting guaranteed income.
    Revenue and occupancy can be optimized, but they cannot be guaranteed.
  • 4
    Party-rental positioning.
    The brand is built around reliable stays, property protection, and professional ownership.
  • 5
    Unrealistic resistance to property expenses.
    Utilities, cleaning, maintenance, supplies, taxes, and repairs remain part of ownership.
What stays with the owner

You keep ownership responsibility and control of the asset.

Management coordinates day-to-day operations. It does not transfer the economic risk of owning the apartment to the management company.

Owner retains

  • Ownership and control of the property
  • Responsibility for taxes, insurance, and legal compliance
  • Economic responsibility for utilities and operating expenses
  • Approval rights established in the agreement
  • The ability to reserve personal-use dates under the agreed process

Medellín Living coordinates

  • Listings, calendars, pricing, and reservation workflows
  • Guest communication and arrival support
  • Cleaner scheduling and turnover quality
  • Maintenance, supplies, vendors, and inspections
  • Owner communication and performance reporting
Current standard structure

Management aligned with booking revenue.

20%

Of gross accommodation revenue, subject to the final written agreement and property review.

Not 20% of owner net profit

The fee is calculated before owner-level property expenses are deducted.

Property costs stay property costs

Ownership expenses remain economically attached to the apartment.

No occupancy or income guarantees

The work focuses on professional operation, not exaggerated promises.
