Consider the Source When Making Important Decisions When Moving to Costa Rica
Posted July 21st, 2008 by Christopher HowardRecently a reporter from a New York Times affiliate interviewed what he thought was a good source for information about moving to Costa Rica. The reporter found the person he interviewed at one of the more high profile web sites which supposedly contains “real’ information about living in Costa Rica. Unfortunately, the person who was interviewed gave the reporter a biased and highly subjective piece of advice.
He told the reporter he would never own property in Costa Rica which is absolutely a ridiculous statement. Almost everyone who has invested in real estate in Costa over last five years has profited. Currently Costa Rica has one of the best real estate markets in the world which has not been affected by events in the U.S,
What the person also did who gave he incorrect information was to discourage people form investing profitably here and possibly spoil their dreams of moving abroad.
The bottom line is to consider the source of the information you gather when researching a move to Costa Rica. By wary of some of the self-serving informational sites that are on the web which on the surface appear to be the real deal. Only trusted time-tested sources with a long track record. Most of the sites providing information are trying to sell something which in some cases you need but most often you don’t.
