To Build or NOT to Build before moving to Costa Rica

Before building a house in Costa Rica, there's many things to consider.

Like many others, she chose Costa Rica. She will retire in 5 years at which time she will sell off her remaining 'stuff' and make the move from the United States to the land of 'Pura Vida'. She has already purchased some land in order to build a house. After numerous attempts she has finally found someone she said she can "trust" to manage the building/construction of her new dream house. She told us (William and I) her story over a few cups of coffee. Afterward, we encouraged her to consider a few things before actually starting the construction. This video is based on that conversation. It's a must see if you're planning on making the move to Costa Rica. *It should be noted that this particular subject has many nuances and while this video contains a few which should be considered by no means are they the only ones.

I love your videos and blogs, Michael, they're terrific. I lived in San Jose seven years, through good times and bad times. Now I'm 77 and living in Hawaii (moved here 5 years ago from CR). One thing I did right was to visit CR (a week here and there for a couple of years). Then I did 6 weeks ... and then longer periods, finally moving to CR when I was in my mid-fifties. Hooked up with a very bad lawyer ... painful experiences. But finally did find a fantastic lawyer (vital). Thanks for doing these videos ... you and D'Angelo.
