BUY OR BUILD in Costa Rica? – Should I Buy an Existing House or Build My Dream Home?

Whether you buy an already built home or purchase a lot and build is entirely up to your personal circumstances and desires.  Our goal is to give you all sides of the issue so you can make the best decision for you.

Having said that, the short answer to the age-old question of whether to buy a lot and build or buy an existing home is quite simple – If you can find an existing home that fits your needs and works with your budget than BUY IT!  After all, the reason you are coming down to Costa Rica is to slide into the hassle-free lifestyle and enjoy your time in Pura Vida land.

It is truly AMAZING how many people are stepping up and sponsoring an entire food charity drive. Rich Coast Vacations and their wonderful clients pulled together to raise enough money to feed over 100 families for a week. Until you are out in the local neighborhoods and see all the people that are in need of food and supplies you don’t realize what impact you are having on their lives.  They are of course extremely thankful to receive the help but since we are all animal lovers we also give them dog or cat food if they need it.  Nowhere have we heard about this happening but from the looks on the peoples faces when they get food for their pets as well means that it is all worth it. 

Please continue to donate.  Although a handful of people have come down on the first flights from North America there are still basically no tourists so we are in for the long haul.  No amount is too small.  Send donations to PayPal or Zelle account michael@tanktopsflipflops.com.  THANK YOU.
