Private consulting

(Updated May 20, 2025)

I moved to Colombia from Denmark in 2013, and I still call Cali home — here with my wife and two daughters. Over the last decade, I’ve founded three companies and developed 80+ apartments with investors for both long-term and short-term rentals (like Airbnb). Today, I manage a portfolio of 115 apartments, with another 19 under construction.

I receive many questions from people curious about living, investing, and doing business in Cali and Colombia. Helping you navigate this exciting but complex landscape is exactly why I created this site.

That said, like you, my time is limited — and I believe time is our most valuable resource. So while I share plenty of free content here, personalized consulting requires a different approach.

If you’re serious about getting expert advice and willing to invest in your success, I’m happy to help.

Why consult with me?
A focused 30-60 minute conversation can potentially save you thousands of dollars and countless hours of headaches on topics such as:

  • Moving to Colombia
  • Getting visas, residency, or citizenship
  • Choosing schools and childcare
  • Securing medical insurance
  • Starting a business
  • Opening bank accounts
  • Navigating permits and bureaucracy
  • Working with lawyers and accountants

Real estate consulting is my specialty. I can guide you through:

  • Finding the best investment opportunities
  • Property search and negotiation
  • Purchase contracts and closing processes
  • Legal transfer of funds from abroad
  • Banking solutions, including high-interest accounts
  • Financing options
  • Renovations and furnishing
  • Long-term vs. short-term rental strategies
  • Property and guest management
  • Hiring staff and contract templates
  • Trusted recommendations for realtors, accountants, and lawyers

Whether you’re just considering moving or investing, already here and unsure where to start, or looking to grow your existing business — let’s talk.

We can connect by phone, WhatsApp, Google Meet, Zoom, or even meet in Cali if you’re local.

My rate is $200 USD per hour ($100 USD per 30-minute session), and here’s my promise: If you’re not 100% satisfied with the value you receive from our session, you don’t pay a thing. Payment is only after our conversation.

Interested? Drop me a line at hola(at)caliadventurer.com and we’ll set up a time.

To your success,
Patrick
