Episode 48: The Great James Guzman joins us!
Description
James Guzman, host of the Borderless Podcast, joins from Medellin, Colombia to talk about managing vacation rentals remotely across Mexico and Colombia, charging $1,500 for expat relocation tours in San Miguel de Allende, and why he prefers rental arbitrage over owning property abroad. He explains offshore banking myths, the foreign earned income exclusion that lets U.S. expats skip income tax on the first $100,000, and why introspection matters more than complicated business plans - his advice is "just fucking do it."
The hosts discuss how Facebook groups drive discovery, the challenge of choosing a PMS system, clarity.fm's dollar-a-minute consultation model, and pricing info products high enough that clients value them. James describes house-sitting a mansion for four months while Airbnb-ing his own place, building local trust with lawyers and doctors for tour clients, and why the 30-year fixed mortgage is a U.S. subsidy that doesn't exist elsewhere. Cryptocurrency, smart home tech for remote hosting, and the psychology of moving abroad for lower costs round out the conversation.
