¡Bienvenidos!

Welcome to my new Costa Rica Blog page dedicated to my soon-to-be home of Costa Rica and my new business venture of Costa Rica Real Estate Sales and Financing.

I have several other web sites that will be up and running in the future, but for now this MySpace page was the easiest to launch.

Be sure to stay-tuned as I will be utilizing blogs to keep friends, family and clients informed of my adventures and progress.

    Hi Bill,
    Just came across your blog. Can you write and tell your thought process to take that leap of faith to move to CR. I think they're a lot of us in the same position. We have similar career backgrounds. Would like to hear from you, your plan of atack once you get there. Income for me would be huge. I have save some money, but eventually I would need to start some sort of business to generate $ I'm too young to retire (46yrs.) thank you for your help...

    Hi Bill, Enjoyed reading your blog about Costa Rica. We would like to travel there towards the end of June or early July but are concerned about the afternoon rains. How rainy is it. Will we be bound to our lodging in the afternoon due to downpours? Any information you can provide me would be great. Thanks so much!

      Hello Heidi,

      Although June and July are considered to be part of the "green" or "rainy season" ... neither is considered a peak rainfall month.

      It is possible that a storm could stall in the area and give you several days of regular rain, but for the most part you should have a good mix of weather to enjoy during your visit.

      As with any visit to tropical Costa Rica, flexible plans that allow for both rain or shine are recommended.

      Enjoy your travels!

      -Bill

    Hello. Your commentaries have managed to be informative and often amusing, not an easy combination. I do, however, have some questions that seem so mundane that I could simply have missed the relevant information already posted on your site, or elsewhere in cyberspace.

    I am considering applying for residence in Costa Rica as a "Pensionado," but am a little confused by the current bureaucratic procedures. Perhaps you could explain the issues, or simply refer me to some web pages I somehow did not find in my own searches.
    My main confusion is over the apparently conflicting requirements to apply for this residential status from abroad, in ones home country, via local consular services, while also have native Costa Rican legal representation (located in San Jose). These requirements seem unnecessarily cumbersome, and thus must reflect some unstated "political" agenda.

    Could you offer some explanation for this process, and possibly suggest how one acquires responsible legal representation in Costa Rica from abroad, while avoiding exploitation by an inevitable assortment of scammers and shysters which must benefit from similar confusion among other potential immigrants?
