Felipe Amariles, real estate investment advisor, with Medellín in the background

About me

I'm Felipe Amariles, and I'd rather you invest well than buy fast.

I've been an entrepreneur since I was a kid. In 2020 I joined my father's company, which at the time only did construction. Little by little we moved into real estate: we studied the market, tried alternatives and started investing as a family.

Along the way we learned, with our own money, what works, what doesn't and what suits each type of person. Today I’m the co-founder and CEO of Pilaris Group, where we work on two fronts. Sales: apartments, houses, land. Construction: luxury homes, country houses and renovations. Knowing the business from the construction site to the sale is what I bring to every consultation.

Through my personal brand, together with my team, I advise people who want to put their money to work in real estate. Every case is different, so there are no recipes: we look at your profile and build the plan with you.

Real numbers

Pre-construction resale, short-term rentals, long-term rentals, properties received as payment: each deal has its own math. We look at income, appreciation, costs, timelines and risks to know what you actually keep.

Clear prices

You know what each service includes and what it costs before you pay.

No promised returns

Nobody can guarantee how much you'll make. I show you scenarios so you can decide with data.

Pilaris Group

I'm the co-founder and CEO of Pilaris Group

Pilaris Group was founded in 2007 as a civil engineering and construction company, and today it also does real estate deals. That's 19 years on construction sites and in sales, and that's what I bring to every consultation.

Real Estate

We buy, sell and manage properties. And not just apartments: houses and land too.

Construction and renovation

We build luxury homes and country houses, and do renovations, supporting the client through every stage of the build.

Project management and supervision

Construction supervision, feasibility studies and project execution.

Investment

Advisory and guidance for investors. This is the line I lead through my personal brand.

Each business line operates under its own contracts and terms.

Run your numbers before you invest

Change the values to match your case. These are reference calculations to guide you; they are not an offer or a promise of returns. Amounts are in Colombian pesos (COP).

How much does a rental apartment really earn?

Return you're usually quoted –
Real annual return –
What you keep per month, on average –

The real return subtracts HOA fees, property tax and vacant months. Maintenance and insurance still need to be added; we review them in the consultation.

How large can your investment be?

Property up to –
Approximate loan –
Monthly payment –

Assumes the payment stays under 30% of income and that the bank finances up to 70% of the value. Check the actual rate with your bank; each lender approves under its own rules.

How much does a short-term rental apartment earn?

Gross monthly income –
What you keep per month, on average –
Net annual return –

Before investing, check that the building allows short-term rentals and the registration required by law. Excludes taxes and furnishing.

How much could you gain buying pre-construction?

Estimated value when you sell –
Projected costs –
Down payment paid by that month –
Estimated gross profit –
Gross return –
Gross IRR (annual) –

Appreciation is not guaranteed. For an assignment, the down payment is spread in equal installments until delivery and the gross return is calculated on what you have paid by the month of the assignment. If you sell after closing, the costs you projected above are deducted; in that case the gross return is calculated on the full price plus costs, as if you paid the balance with your own funds. The gross IRR accounts for the month in which each peso goes out and comes in: the monthly installments, the balance and closing costs, and what you receive when you sell or assign. Not included: the assignment fee charged by the developer (each one sets it, usually in multiples of the Colombian minimum wage), the real estate agent’s commission if you sell through one, taxes, loan interest or fees, the seller’s share of notary fees, improvements or furniture, or developer charges for changes or delays. Some developers do not allow assignments or limit them. We review all of this in the consultation.

Group investing

Invest with friends or family

Often one person's money isn't enough for a good project, but three or four people's is. I help make the numbers clear for everyone and set the group's rules from the start.

  • Each person puts in less capital
  • You can spread your money across several investments instead of putting it all into one
  • You access projects and terms you couldn't reach alone
  • Everyone knows how much they contribute, what share they own and what they receive
  • We help you outline the rules: contributions, payments, decisions and what happens if someone wants out
  • One team coordinates the whole process

To get started

Group planning session

480.000 up to 4 people

  • 90 minutes, online or in person
  • The group's investment capacity
  • Which type of investment suits you
  • How to split contributions and ownership

The legal agreement between partners is drafted by a lawyer. I don't give legal advice, but I help you arrive with clear rules and can recommend someone you can trust.

Investment and housing

Not just where to invest: also where to live

Buying a home is also an investment decision. On my social media I talk about neighborhoods, lifestyle and what it’s like to live in each area; in the consultation we apply it to your case, with numbers.

If you’re buying to live

  • Which neighborhood fits your lifestyle, routine and plans
  • How much you can pay each month without stretching yourself
  • How the area appreciates and how easy it would be to rent out or sell later
  • The costs that come after buying: HOA fees, property tax, parking

If you’re buying to invest

  • What it really earns, after all costs
  • Which type of investment fits your profile and timeline
  • Review of the developer and the trust account
  • Guidance until delivery or sale

Frequently asked questions

How much money do I need to start investing?

It depends on the type of investment and whether you use a loan, savings or installment plans during pre-sale. In the consultation we calculate your real capacity and see which options fit it.

Does it help if I want to buy a home to live in rather than to invest?

Yes. Buying a home is also an investment decision. We review how much you can pay, which neighborhoods fit your lifestyle, the costs that come after buying and how the area appreciates.

I live outside Medellín or outside Colombia. Does this work for me?

Yes. The online consultation is by video call, and the guidance can be done remotely, with recorded property visits and documents reviewed by our team.

Are you going to sell me a project?

My job is to help you choose well. If a project doesn't fit your profile, or if it isn't the right time for you to invest yet, I'll tell you.

What if I don't buy after the consultation?

That's fine. You keep your plan and your written summary. Guidance is separate and only if you decide so.

What if the consultation isn't what I expected?

You have the 15-minute guarantee: if within the first 15 minutes you feel it isn't for you, we refund 100% of what you paid.

How do I pay?

By card, PSE, Nequi or Bancolombia. For now, tapping each service’s button opens WhatsApp and we send you the payment link and your receipt. Soon you’ll be able to pay directly on the website.

Do you guarantee a return?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. What I do is show you scenarios with all the costs so you can decide with complete information.

Investing that builds your future

Every well-made real estate decision is a step toward the future you want: a place to live, wealth that grows or income that works for you.
