Gutierrez Group Investments—Our investment advisors have carefully vetted four diverse investment opportunities for our clients, featuring low controlled risks and generous returns on investment. As an attendee at the Retire Overseas Conference, you will learn all about these offerings during our presentation on Aug. 29 at 3:05 p.m., but allow me to whet your appetite with a brief introduction in the meantime …

1) Factoring—By simply purchasing a judgment which has already been budgeted for payment by the Colombian government, our investors have realized a 13% annual return on their investment within a two- to three-year time frame.

2) Colombian Timber—If you are concerned about our environment and want to help improve our planet, all while making a tidy profit, you should consider investing in our timber project. Unlike many agricultural investments, which take decades to produce income, our state-of-the-art timber plantation is projected to yield 16% per year in just seven to eight years.

3) Sutax Taxi Loans—A specialized loan program for taxis in Medellín, Colombia… Our group has invested in a highly respected and recognized company which buys and sells taxis and driver’s medallions. The right to own and drive a taxi in Colombia is regulated by the government and only those people with medallions may operate a taxi service.

By providing taxi loans ranging from US$20,000 to US$40,000, amortized over only 36–60 months, our investors have realized 10% to 12% returns each year. Your investment helps provide short-term loans to taxi owners, which allows them to work, providing a much needed service to our community while also providing income for their families.

4) Mortgage Loans For Foreigners—Because many of our foreign clients want to purchase real estate in Colombia, we understand that foreigners need financing options. It can take two years for a non-Colombian to establish sufficient credit in Colombia to qualify for a real estate loan.

With your investment dollars, our group can now offer mortgages with a loan-to-value ratio of no more than 70% over no more than five years including negotiable amortization plans. Our investors can expect returns from 8% to 11% per year, which are often better than the returns realized from owning and renting real estate itself.
