    I think the idea of downsizing makes sense, though it may be a year or so before I can move the move to Costa Rica a reality I have a few questions. . .

    Ken, you said you would use a container, how does the logistics of that work. I have a very heavy glass kiln I would like to drag along if at all possible along with supplies I imagine would be hard to find there.

    Also, I am a mortgage lender, with all the property that is selling is it very easy to find a Broker looking for a loan officer.

    Hello,

    When you move to Costa Rica if you want to originate loans you will have to originate loans with a bank from the US. If that is possible you should contact those who are selling properties through Remax and some of the other N.American companies that are represented here.

    Most people are either paying cash or
    have owner financing with 50% down. There are some private lenders and a few loans through the Costa Rican banks. Some of the companies that are developing properties have some financing arrangements. You may want to contact some of them through ads that you see online or in the news paper.

    In order to be a loan originator here it seems you would need to read and write Spanish unless loans are generated through a US or Canadian source

    Theresa,

    That word employment, if are going to be looking for employment then you should get hired in the US and the company send you to Costa Rica. You can not legally hold a job in Costa Rica unless you were working for a company in the US and were transfered here.

    This is not totally correct because you can be employed by a Costa Rican company but those jobs are few and far between
