Global man I have spent a few months in South America, believe me I know how hard it is to do basic shit and how every day somebody is trying to fuck you over or is being incompetent. I agree buying a property will be a painful process dealing with moronic bureaucrats and crooked real estate agents, etc. I am not denying this. I will try to minimize the damage by only using reputable foreigners (as opposed to Chileans) for my lawyers, inspectors, buyers agent, etc. I expect some delays and hiccups and also will as cautious as possible e.g. I will be getting second opinions, won't be rushing into anything, will read the fine print, etc. But yes, there is still a chance I could get fucked over. I acknowledge the risks.
As for me mentioning the mountains and beaches and skiing a few hours drive from Santiago, it seems like a contradiction, but just because there are mountains and beaches it does not mean that they have any live-able/decent cities next to those mountains or beaches (which is why I asked previously if there were any good mountain or beach cities). Yeah I realized that Chilean beaches might not be great for swimming but from pictures they at least look scenic/good for some seaside treks/walks which means occasional day/weekend trips from Santiago can be worthwhile.
As for countries in South America you actually can't even look at women by country. You have to break it down to the city level. For example in Colombia Bogota many girls speak English, they like foreigners and are really hot. Santa Marta girls are generally fat and ugly and rude entitled cunts (also they do not speak English) who dislike foreigners. It feels like two different countries.
Global man I am not stuck on beaches in Chile and have already agreed with your advice to forget about the beaches. I was just correcting factual errors in the post of BoiBoi.
I found Santiago girls to be attractive. While they were slightly behind Bogota or Cartagena girls, overall in my opinion the were very attractive (do not forget I am coming from Australia, not Ukraine!!). In terms of looks Santiago girls were on par with the rich girls in Lima (e.g. girls in Miraflores) and superior to girls anywhere else in Peru. You can't just compare Chilean girls to Peruvian or Colombian or Brazilian girls. You have to compare city by city. There were heaps of cities that had ugly girls even in Colombia. If you compare on a city by city basis to the rest of South America, while Santiago is probably not in the top 10% for having attractive women but I feel it would be in the top 25% (just my gut feeling) which is good enough for me.
In terms of running Day-game I found Santiago girls spoke more English than any city I had been to in Peru or Colombia and they were more receptive to me than Peruvian and Colombian girls. In fact, so far in my life I have yet to visit a city were girls were friendlier to me or more interested in me than Santiago. To me its daygame paradise!
Rawgod I will try and spend at least 2-3 months in Chile later on before I decide if I want to pull the trigger on anything. I am just using this thread for brainstorming and fact gathering. I have not committed to doing anything yet.
