How much is it and where is it exactly?
What’s the security like?
Is your car under a roof or under the sun?

WeLoveCostaRica.comPS. Boy you get up early 🙂
There’s not much I can do about you getting robbed and I am delighted that you are all OK but there is something we can do about unscrupulous real estate sales people so if you would PLEASE email me privately (https://www.welovecostarica.com/public/department6.cfm) with more details and I would be happy to contact the parties involved to get their official comments.
Would you please help us to try and put a stop to this? Would you help me do that?
Let’s name some names and see what they say to the 7,000+ VIP Members of WeLoveCostaRica.com and I’ll ask the attorneys I recommend what they think…
The bus system here is amazing and amazingly cheap but having said that, La Uruca is not an area that I would like to spend much time in …

WeLoveCostaRica.comThat is disgusting!
This is not what I was writing about with regards to some owners raising their prices, this sounds more like fraud to me.
“Everybody loses” is not a winning strategy and I would love to see the broker’s commission agreement that allows them to double the price of the property and keep what might be 50% of the sales price instead of a 5% “sales commission.”
If you would PLEASE email me privately (https://www.welovecostarica.com/public/department6.cfm) with more details and I would be happy to contact the parties involved to get their official comments.
I get bloody angry when I hear about anybody taking advantage of the Costa Rican people so would you please help us to try and put a stop to this? Would you help me do that?

WeLoveCostaRica.comAs mentioned previously ‘boomerjen’, why don’t you email me the two promotional emails you have received and we’ll do the deomocratic thing and ask our VIP Members to tell us if they also think the same way as you do about these emails.

WeLoveCostaRica.comSTAY AWAY FROM DHL IN COSTA RICA
I have been fighting with them for nearly FOUR MONTHS to get them to stop sending DHL packages with cheques in them to my previous address.
The DHL packet has my correct street address on it and some moron always adds a sheet of paper and puts it on top with my OLD address on it and then delivers it to the old address instead of my new address and the guard at the old address thankfully telephones me to tell me that it’s there.
My assistant and I have informed them on over 20 occasions of this problem and we can only hope that the next time …

WeLoveCostaRica.comGood advice
My car is owned in the name of one corporation and it is the one and only asset in that corporate name.
I have other assets that are held in different corporate entities for asset protection purposes.
The more corporations you have, the more reports there are every year but a good accountants should be able to do that for you easily.

WeLoveCostaRica.comIt does vary dramatically depending on the attorney and their firm.
I have heard of rates ranging from US$1,200 – $2,500 per person.

WeLoveCostaRica.comI have been thrilled with the service and the low cost of the regular Costa Rican mail service.
We have mailed tens of thousands of books to the USA plus LOTS of coffee PLUS our Real Estate Investors Kit which is nearly 2 kilos and although we “lost” maybe ten of them, most of them showed up back here when they were “unclaimed” in the USA.

WeLoveCostaRica.comThere is information on this forum about Paragon properties so yes do a search please.
I don’t believe that Paragon has land for sale that would have these kinds of views. Manuel Antonio real estate is NOT cheap and views of Manuel Antonio park are literally “multi-million dollar” views.
Please forward the email to me that you received from Paragon and we should probably be able to quickly identify which of their projects this view is from for you.
The Chairman of Paragon is a man by the name of Billy Gale and he spends a lot of time on this site so no doubt he will be able to tell us what the photo is.

WeLoveCostaRica.comYou are competing with a LOT of companies here… BIG multi-national companies who are happy to pay good money for English language speakers.

WeLoveCostaRica.comLetters are fine. Products are more complicated.
When you ship products to Costa Rica via the local mail service – depending on the product – you could spend a full day – I am not kidding – getting it out of Costa Rica customs…
You could ship the same product one week, the same product the following week and pay 100% more duty on one than the other, even though they’re exactly the same but, the customs agents is different.
Is it worth it? For me? God! Yes! But for someone who rarely orders products and who relishes the ‘challenge’ of Costa Rica bureacracy and has the time to wait in lines….

WeLoveCostaRica.comI don’t know where Dr. Ben Spitzer went and although he was a terrific chiropractor for my back, we parted on bad terms.
For a discount, I am happy to pay in advance and I paid Ben six months in advance whcih is a decent chunk of change and the very next week he introduced me to the ‘new’ chiropractor that had just bought his practise.
I was bloody furious especially when the new chiropractor was less than useless at adjusting me. Needless to say Spitzer refused to refund my money and he has gone – I don’t know where.
The new chiropractor lasted a few months in that location and then the office was shut down, I believe it’s a beauty salon now which doesn’t do me any good, I’m way beyond helping in that area but I do miss the six months worth of adjustments that I paid for and didn’t receive.
You might call my chiropractor Dr. Jim Mclellan his telephone number is listed in his article at and if I am not mistaken, he is actually helping to form some organziation of chiropractors here.
I have nothing but terrific things to say about him…
