[quote=”davidd”][quote=”bob switzer”]We are sending down a container and would like to have some input on what things we should make sure we pack, or things that are hard to find or of not good quality in CR.
We are sending a car, after that any suggestions?
(household items, tools, construction supplies, household appliances ….any or all things, large or small?)
Does anyone know of a good book that might contain a list of must pack things for shipping?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks[/quote]

[quote=”ratus”]Thanks for the link…I am thinking CFL is available on ESPN3, which is shown at Zi Lounge downtown Coco. I gave my Rider shirt to one the waiters there, who said the games were sometimes shown there. So if I can’t get it at home, I can just watch the game and have a beer at Zi’s…Im gonna have to temper my cheering as it sometimes gets a bit “boisterous” :roll:[/quote]
I see on http://www.riderfans.com one guy posted where you could find a site to watch online. just go down the page until you see his blog

[quote=”costaricafinca”]Look at Craigslist, and see how rentals are listed.
Many sit empty for months, only rented at peak holiday periods when you may want to use it yourself.
And I definitely agree with the previous poster saying “…[i]I’d ask for proof of rental income & expenses on the property you are considering purchasing as a normal due diligence item prior to making an offer”.[/i]
If it is a beach property, you must take into consideration the high cost of using A/C.[/quote]

Thanks for reply
A/C expense seems to keep rearing its ugly head. Some say near any beach, east west north or south, A/C is a necessity. Others say it all depends what specific location you are talking about,
One thing we have noticed is the difference in house structure between east and west coasts.
On the eastern seaboard the houses are very much more open, with larger windows and open spaces(large outside living areas ie sundecks) Very medditerenian looking.
On the west coast,the abodes seem to be much more confined. Smaller windows, doors. Houses seem to be much more “cut up” into cubed living spaces, a la north, North American.
If I am correct in this observation, does that mean the west coast is a little more humid then east coast? Or vise versa. Does that mean in west coast houseing, A/C is much more of a necessity then east coast?

One thing I should have added Scott, is big thanks for all the great people you put us in touch with. All top of the line!

[bob switzer]

Thanks for advice Scott.
We are on our way in July just as we have planned to do for the last 2 yrs.
Can’t tell you how many webs we have visited read and researched.
We love costa rica web has been a load of help in every way and we thank you for your and other great bloggers insites.
We have narrowed down the type of property that we will purchase to a very few questions, one being to invest and rent or invest and not to rent.
Really is tough getting half accurate stats anywhere. Just thought that some of the great bloggers on this forum have asked the questions and found some tid bits of info they would like to pass along, just like you did just now Scott. Thanks again
