[quote=”Bibi”]We have nothing but good things to say about Barry and the folks at http://www.ShipCostaRica.com They moved us from our door in Virginia to our door in Nosara, Guanacaste, for a reasonable price with no surprises, and with no losses or damages, except for the glass bowls I hadn’t packed well enough. :)[/quote]
Ditto for me! I LOVED working with Arden and Barry. No surprises, they will do as much or as little as you want. Their price is all inclusive. I just moved this past July and was VERY satisfied.:D:D[quote]We never bothered to transfer our accounts to Costa Rica because of the services provided by our U.S. bank. They have been selected as 2013 the bank with the best reputation by the American Banker Magazine.[/quote]
What US bank are you using?
I am still trying to figure out how to have my pension check deposited in CR without incurring exhorbatant transer fees.
The best I can come up with is to have it deposited in my US account and then just write a check on that account and deposit into my CR account?
Great info, but I am still a little confused. So I open a self directed IRA, invest in property and build a house on it, and rent it until I am 60. What happens then? Am I allowed to move into it and take possession? What are the tax consequences? I know with a reg IRA I can take out an amount every year (after 59 1/2) if I want and only get taxed as it affects my income. If I move into the house, am I taxed for the full value of the house?
I am sorry if this has been talked to death, but this last part confuses me. Thanks!
I think there may be some confusion with regard to the word CARGO. Being a retired American Airlines ticket agent, maybe I can offer some clarification. A pet can travel 1 of 3 ways:
1- as “cabin baggage” – where the pet travel in the cabin with you, and must fit in a kennel, under the seat in front of you. Because the number of cabin pets are limited, you must make a reservation for the same flight you are traveling on.
2 – as “checked baggage” – where the pet travels on THE SAME FLIGHT AS YOU, but in the “cargo hold” with the other checked baggage (it is pressurized and temp controlled)
3 – as CARGO – where the pet travels ALONE and not on the same scheduled flight as you are traveling. Pet also travels just like #2 in the “cargo hold” with the baggage.Many airlines have “embargoes” when the temperature gets too hot or too cold outside. If you are planning on traveling with your pet,I would reccomend traveling on non-embargoed time so that the pet can travel on the same flight as you. Otherwise, if you travel on one flight and then send for your pet later, he will travel as CARGO and on international fights, that entail additional fees and often a broker to “clear” the “carg”.
Hope this helps 😀
