Cosmic Bowling in the Osa Region of Costa Rica and a Real Estate Boom
Posted by Steve Linder on Fri, Dec, 13, 2013
People have been getting quite a surprise when driving down the coast in southern Costa Rica. There among the toucans, sloths and macaws is another rare bird in this area, a cosmic bowling alley. The Costa Ballena region has been amazing people with its bio diversity for years. But recently some new inhabitants have appeared, causing a migration of a different sort.

As I scour the internet for retirement options for baby boomers, I like to share what I have found. I'm sure many of you are aware that Kristina and I have traveled over much of the planet looking at living, investment, rental and retirement options for ourselves as well as our readers. We like to provide cost/benefit analysis for north Americans, mostly baby boomers, looking to diversify their savings and investment as well as searching for quality of life, life experience, lower cost of living in a healthy and safe environment. Our travels have taken us to some pretty unpalatable places but along the way we have also visited some places that left wonderful memories and many where I would have loved to own a home. Many places offer excellent adventure travel opportunities but would not be a place I would want to call home.

Brace Yourself for a Plummeting Dollar - Buy Costa Rica Real Estate
Posted by Steve Linder on Mon, Jan, 31, 2011
Though you can buy homes right now in the US (Las Vegas and Phoenix for example) for less than they cost to build, Costa Rica has not experienced that problem. There are a few “distressed” markets in Costa Rica, areas where during the boom too much inventory was built in some crappy areas.
