here is the problem with "doing it yourself" in Chile, is that there is always something else. I don't mean to discourage you to try on your own at all. Honestly, our best clients are the ones that tried to do it themselves. We prefer them, because they appreciate what it is we do. In fact, most of the information is already here on the forum or the wiki for free that you would need, including a lot of the possible pitfalls. The search function for the forum will basically give you an encyclopedia of how to buy property in Chile. The problem is the things we did not think to cover, but will bite you anyway.
The problem is that you need to do about 10 to 20 property deals ( just a guess ) in Chile before you start getting the swing of "everything that can go wrong will go wrong". More exactly being on the alert for those points in a property deal where things might go wrong. Not every deal is a pain or a problem, just you get this sixth sense about certain steps being that type of step that will cause a whole lot of bureaucratic or legal problems. Just coming in to the market and the country, you might not realized you made a mistake until years later.
You don't have to hire us, but hire someone to help you out.
