I have $80k in a foreign currency (chilean pesos) and make 2.5k a month (of which I save >60%), and I could:
- buy a small patch of land (600 sq.m., 650 sq.ft.) in a relatively quiet, "mediterranean-like" beach city for $67k (original price was $70k. not a great discount) where I could build a b&b in the near future (once I save enough money...), a city where I lived for many years but it's been getting filled with narcos and undesirables in the last decade, and apparently the land itself requires some investment
- save some more and buy some 12 acre of land, a few miles away from another beach (where middle class people live) for $85k BUT this patch of land one has no running water or sewage, only electricity available but I'd have to contact the company and install everything, but this one seems to have some future
- get the fuck out of this area and buy 25 acre for $10k in a much colder area in the middle of nowhere (I doubt they even have internet there), where it rains a lot and people get depressed because of the shit weather but at least it would be way cheaper and I'd fulfill my dream of living in the middle of a forest and do whatever I want there. but I'd literally have to keep waging because I doubt I'd have some other income in the medium/long term
I'd buy the $67k land but I think it's overpriced for what it is, and the retarded faggot owner won't lower the price even though he could get a fucking CD and get ~8% ROI in less than a fucking year
any recommendations? who should I ask for suggestions? wtf should I do, how the fuck do I decide what the best course of action is in this case?

I could also move to buenos aires (love that city), but while life there is cheap, properties are as expensive as in here if not more, they sell in dollars and I'd have to leave my current job, cuz I doubt they would be OK with me moving to another country.
one last option would be to go all into some ETF after the market crashes because fuck land, I'm gonna keep renting while I wage and in the meantime get some gains from the stock markets (which, otoh, are taxed heavily in this shit country)
I had asked this and one anon gave me yet another option: buy some property as close as possible to the beach in that middle(/lower‐upper) class city... that actually sounds like a good idea, but I'd have to get a mortgage for that, and I'd hate having to get in debt.
I've been looking for properties for a long time. I even automated part of this process by making a program that downloads and displays all new land offers posted in ad websites. and while prices are falling, there are NO GOOD FUCKING OPPORTUNITIES. it's all overpriced shit. even legal auctions, which I've been following for 10+ years, also became shit because our govt. raised the valuations of all properties some years ago, which the system uses as basis for pricing (people use as a reference price by multiplying by 2 or more, but that's another topic) and politicians also decided to stop most legal auctions during and after the pandemic.

tl;dr

>>56264311
the tl;dr is:
options:
- buy a small patch of land in a beach city and do tourism
- buy a large patch (with a mortgage or loan) in a middle class beach city but far from the beach
- buy a cheaper, larger patch in a rainy, depressing rural area (my dream) but keep waging
- leave the country and buy in buenos aires
- invest

The future is tourism; customers customers customers. Is that beach town actually beautiful? Is it likely to remain popular? If so get a property in the center or right by the beach, one where you have some vision/inspiration clearly strike you, of what to do with it: you need to go over the top, and make some kind of restaurant or accomodations or fun service that people will laugh and then pay for to impress their friends.
If you are talented in engineering production then the rural area could be good too, but only if you have a clear plan for Mass producing a superior product of something, and there are reliable supply lines for the materials you need to build, and getting your products to market?
ABC: always be selling

being a landlord is a second job, the prospects of the returns beating the s&p are slim. invest, put the additional energy you would have spent on fixing property problems on your job, so you earn more so you can invest more

Eres programador? Si es así, te puede servir buscar empresas de headhunting/staffing IT que operen en chile. Cobran comisión (al empleador) por cada contratación, asi que tienen un incentivo directo para encontrarte un trabajo, y debería ser gratis para ti.

Ejemplos que encontré en google en 5 minutos: 3hunters, Akzio, Astra group (parece que ya no existe?), bc tecnologia, Staffit, etc. Hace mucho que no estoy en ese ambiente asi que no se exactamente cuales son recomendables y cuales no... Pero conozco casos concretos de profesionales extranjeros que han encontrado trabajo en chile por esa via.

the beach towns are close to one each other. they've been popular touristic places for decades. there is even a museum nearby that international tourists visit constantly

>make some kind of restaurant or accomodations or fun service that people will laugh and then pay for to impress their friends.
been thinking about this for a while, and, yeah, I do have a few ideas

>If you are talented in engineering production then the rural area could be good too
guess I could do that shit, but I'm too lazy...

>there are reliable supply lines for the materials you need to build, and getting your products to market?
I'd have no idea about this, though.

>>56266649
>being a landlord is a second job
I know. I've thought about automating most of the work, though.

>the prospects of the returns beating the s&p are slim
hmm :(

>put the additional energy you would have spent on fixing property problems on your job, so you earn more so you can invest more
I've thought about this many times, but, really, IT in general as a career is a deadend unless you are willing to jump into management, and I'm not really interested in that.

>>56266539
I work in computer security.

nah, I don't trust crypto, and I suck at investing.

there is a LOT more touristic activity in the valparaiso region than in the south.

as >>56267791 said, apply to jobs related to IT/programming. if you couldn't learn, then apply to IT stuff. start learning to use Linux, web APIs or whatever. there are LOTS of free materials out there. find good guides and you'll be set.

>si pudiera tener un sueldo en usd
I don't get paid in USD... I wish I was, though, I'd probably get a lot more.
