[u][b]Hi Costa Ricans,[/b][/u]

I’m needing your advice and opinions regarding moving to Costa Rica…Primarily…Bejuco and or Outside Manuel Antonio beach area.. I need to know if I’m dreaming or is it truly possible to own 2 to 3 acres of land w/ fruit trees near the ocean without being in a fenced development..

I used to live in Costa Rica 20 years ago when it was cheap to live!! You could build a 3 bedroom rancher w/ stone front and stone fireplace w/ Costa Rican beautiful front doors for only 23,000.00!!!!! We used to fly into Playa de Manuel Antonio area thru the banana fields on a dirt run-way! and had shrimp right out of the ocean, cooked on the spot!! the locals lived on 15.00 per month and I had a maid and gardener for a 1.00 per day!!!My Ex was an Engineer for Phillip Morris International.. we bribed local
Police w/ cartons of cigarettes….. Is this still going on…especially w/ Customs???

Yes, from what I’ve been reading Costa Rica, I’m shell shocked with the land prices…These foreign developers are truly are asking premium prices over there!! I’ve shopped on
3 to 4 Websites for land… and it’s expensive. Can you help me find land or a source to find land that is not inflated near these areas?? Back here,(USA) houses have fallen dramatically, we are loosing our money here! I currently do not have any HOA fees and the avg. house here in MD is 165,000 w/ 4 bedrooms. even though people bought these homes for 310,000.00… taxes are craaazy.. 3800.00 year w/ no jobs in sight!

Costa Rican laborers, correct me if I’m wrong is 2.00 colones… inexpensive laborers..is it still possible to build w/out the developers getting rich on me? and I plan on building my own home with the locals….is this possible now? Is there a better place to find land and what source can I go to.. The Internet when I search for Costa Rican land is outrageous in price!!! I don’t need HOA fees… Please let me know. I would like to build a 4 bedroom house.. reasonably.

Thanks for you active forum writers that live there!! I really appreciate your wisdom in buying land!!!!

ANYTHING YOU KNOW IS GREAT INFORMATION FOR MY FAMILY.

PS:
In the USA, we are expecting our dollar bill to be de-valued to .20 to.25 cents when hyperinflation hits, that’s not including when our enemies (Iran and N. Korea)
plan on a full blown EMP Attack..It’s coming!!
