There has certainly been incidents where weapons have been found in local schools (mainly in the poorer schools in the city of San Jose) but I don’t believe there has ever been a shooting in the schools in Costa Rica.

WeLoveCostaRica.comI believe it is now $84,000 for the wife and also the same for the husband if it is legitimate income. This ‘income’ does not apply to investment income and yes! You would definitely need expert tax advice.

WeLoveCostaRica.comOK! You’re talking about Brian’s project.
You can see his most recent project at which is now finished, he is waiting on a variety of permits etc., before we start our work in evaluating his new development.
We will probably be writing about the new project in August.

WeLoveCostaRica.comI would suggest that your response is “over simplistic” simondg.
Saying that “If it were my project” is fine but that’s what you would do, just because you do it does not mean to say that others would consider that important. There are many people at work in Costa Rica who do NOT think like you, some are simply incapable of thinking like you and some do NOT have their customer’s best interests at heart.
I know for a fact that after some ‘exposure’ on WeLoveCostaRica.com some “land developers” have changed their marketing materials, changed their “misleading” maps, changed their “misleading” websites, changed their “misleading” advertising and focused more on customer satisfaction!
Many people/business can have a direction but are forced by market forces, their customers, laws or other factors to modify that direction.
This would not have been done without our VIP Members voicing their concerns in the Discussion Forum and without the various articles put up on this site.
You might also bear in mind that there are NUMEROUS communications between myself, our attorneys and various people involved in the promotion of real estate in this country that you will never be privvy to …

WeLoveCostaRica.comMany people have told me that because of the material found here on WeLoveCostaRica.com and in my book that they feel more educated and empowered when dealing with developers and real estate sales people.
That’s great news. The more educated the buyer, the less likelihood there is that someone will take advantage of them…
This has definitely forced many companies to start educating their staff more, to think more about what the customer wants first rather than focusing on teaching their staff the hard sell to earn twice the commissions that would be normal for this industry and not giving a damn about what happens to them afterwards.
We do give a damn.
However, it must be mentioned that I cannot take all the credit, we had a lot of help in writing this book and like a real estate project, it was a combined effort by a lot of different real estate professionals that enabled me to produce that book.
If you have not yet bought a copy of my ‘How To Buy Costa Rica Real Estate…’ book and made me that much needed $4 please visit

WeLoveCostaRica.comThe Chinese ARE coming to Costa Rica, they have announced a new resort will be built in Guanacaste, Playa Manzanillo I believe.
And the Chinese will probably start buying properties around there first … There’s only about 1,321,851,888 of them so there’s nothing to worry about …. If 1% of them have money to invest, that’s 12,218,518 people
