The Ecuador Insider

I´m concluding my trip back to my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio now and I´ve got to say, property flipping here is tempting.

Here, like in other hard-hit rust-belt cities of America you can find decent houses in the $10-20k range.

So, naturally, I´ve been shopping around.

I found one BIG house in a decent area on the west side of Cleveland asking $12,800. Next door a house just sold for $78k.

So what happened? The house has a fire-damaged roof and the whole thing and framing needs to be replaced by the best top-rated Jacksonville roofing contractor.

The problem and the BIGGEST difference I see in flipping property here vs the coast of Ecuador? Are you looking for a roofing company in Leeds and Wakefield?

If you have been working in the commercial real estate field long, you know that there are many times in this line of work when you have to deal with various city officials. At times this can be difficult, since you may not be familiar with them and you may have a hard time finding time to speak with them. When you work with a commercial real estate broker, many times you will find that they already have direct access to the city officials, which can expedite your deals much of the time.

It’s very important therefore, to choose a roofing company who can offer you impartial and practical advice about the suitability and durability of the vast array of roofing materials that are available on the market. Your roofing company should be able to offer sound advice and lead you into making the correct choice about your roofing materials. As an individual, if you were to attempt your own roof, not only would it be an arduous and challenging task but it would likely cost a great deal more money.

This is because a good roofing company buys its materials in bulk and keeps popular materials in stock. This ultimately means that this cost saving can be passed onto you – the customer. You should obviously therefore factor in the cost of the roofing company’s quote into your decision making process. Finding a good roofing quote is an essential part of obtaining a roofing contractor but it is unwise to base your selection of a good roofing company on price alone.

In Ecuador, particularly the coast, you still can find hidden treasures no one else knows about!

For example, here in Cleveland, the broker in charge of the sale also flips property, and he passed on this one.

Also, the find Ecuador Realtor who showed me the property was a young, nice guy who confided he also flips property (and has also passed on this one).

So I passed. There´s just too much I don´t know about the market and the prices to fix the place up. I don´t have experience in the USA (yet), so for having different properties in the US, is better to use a property management company like Emerald Calgary to help with this.

I´ll stick to Ecuador real estate for now. Funding for flipping offers investors fast closings for properties in any condition.

There are numerous roofing contractors in your area. However, not all roofing contractors are experienced in your specific type of roofing system. Residential roofers should be certified with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas Roofing.

A commercial roof contractor should be skilled in all types of flat roofing and certified with various commercial roofing manufacturers such as Carlisle Syntec, Sika Sarnafil, GAF, Versico, and MuleHide. Ask the roofing contractor you are considering if they have experience in installing the exact type of roof that you want installed. Be specific in addressing this question. For instance, if you are interested in installing a metal shake tile roof, ask the roofer if they have actually installed a metal shake tile roof and not just a metal roof.

Roofing systems can be very different in their preparation and installation requirements. The same applies for heavy designer shingles, TPO roofs, slate roofs, tile roofs, or any other type of roof. You want to hire a roofer with hands on experience in installing the specific type of roofing system that you want installed on your home or business!

This week I´m checking in from my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio on a brief visit.

And a few days ago my first day back in the States I had a chicken burger at a fast food joint…

And it sent me RUNNING for the nearest bathroom mumbling to myself, “Lord, have mercy!”!

Several times.

So I guess you know you´ve been in Ecuador too long when the stomach can´t handle good-ol American processed food.

I live in Ecuador.  

But occasionally go back to visit friends and family in the States.  

And what was my first stop upon arrival this past week to my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio?

The shoestore.  Famous Footwear.  

I rolled up with as they say in Ecuador “hungry shoes”.  Or shoes with the sole partially detached.  

I actually threw away the shoes I had on in the bin outside the store as soon as I was done purchasing.

I simply refuse to buy shoes in Ecuador. 

For example, Nike tennis shoes, the same ones you can get on sale in US for around $50 would go for $150-170 in Ecuador.  Adidas is the same thing.  Even sandals too.  Most other name-brand and casual shoes have similar price differences.  Women´s dress and casual shoes also can be 3x what they cost in the USA.

Plus, the larger sizes often can´t be found in Ecuador.  

And yes, people have actually stolen shoes from me in Ecuador (in 2017 even)!

So when you move here, be sure you have your ideal footwear until at least your next trip back!  

The only shoe type I would buy in this region (Ecuador, Colombia, Peru) is men´s leather dress shoes, some nice locally-made styles for reasonable prices can be had.

This week I´m checking in from Atlanta, USA… and there are MANY things here you could bring back with you to Ecuador that could fetch more than you paid for it at least covering the cost of your flight (and then some).

But if I had to pick one item… as for ease of sale and profit potential.  

It would be to bring a PS4 FIFA edition. New.  In USA you can buy at many different places for around $300.  In Ecuador, you could resell online to Ecuadorians via a site like MercadoLibre.com.ec for around $410-450.  

As long as you bring ONLY 1 per person you won´t have problems when being inspected by Ecuador customs because one unit is allowed per person as it´s deemed you bring for personal use.  If you brought more units you would have to pay import taxes upon entry to country at airport.
