You’ve obviously arrived to this site because you have an interest in becoming a Costa Rica expat sometime in the near future. Alternatively, you have an interest in at least owning property in Costa Rica for investment, vacation, or perhaps part-time living.
Well, actually accomplishing any of that is easier said than done. And the process is fraught with risks. Costa Rica expat consulting is designed to help you avoid those risks, to the extent possible.
Why should you want it?
Of course, you can book a pre-packaged Costa Rica expat tour, either guided or self-guided. We certainly offer those for folks who are too busy and just want someone to “handle it.”
However, others simply prefer the DIY method a little too much to rely on a package tour.
For them, Costa Rica expat consulting could work quite well.
What are the advantages to consulting versus just “winging it?”
Well you’ll have a resource on the ground (in Costa Rica) and in the know to help you get the most out of your expat reconnaissance mission…
Your consultant, Scott Bowers (aka Costa Rica Guy), is a veteran expat who’s already made many of the mistakes you’ll want to avoid and is more than eager to help you avoid them.
He’s a former lawyer, transactional advisor, Costa Rica vacation tour consultant and Costa Rica real estate agent for the southern zone, mountains and beaches. He’s also the author of the eBook, The Definitive Guide to Costa Rica Expat Living – 2nd Edition (get it on Amazon!)…
In short, he’s got the experience and the desire to guide you in the right direction.
Even if you’re a ways away from actually making your trip down, it will pay to get Scott on the line to help you with issues like…
- Choosing the optimum Costa Rica locations to explore…
- Residency issues…
- The property buying process…
- Financing your purchase…
- Costa Rica travel advice – like how to get around, where to stay, and what to do…
- Advice on Costa Rica cultural nuances…
- Advice on staying safe in Costa Rica – both in property and person…
- And more…
How do you set it up and what does it include?
The engagement starts with an information gathering phone call, followed up with payment of the flat-rate consulting fee of $500. Payment can be made to my Bank of America account using Zelle.
And it doesn’t end until your Costa Rica expat exploration trip is completed, no matter how far in the future that might be.
Consulting includes…
- Information Resources – Answering any and all questions you have in the process of planning the trip…
- Designing your mission – Taking you through the 4 C’s framework (Climate, Culture, Convenience and Context) to narrow down the best locations to consider given your peculiarities…
- Setting up your trip – Which includes making recommendations for accommodations, transport, and any activities you might want to partake of while in Costa Rica…
- Property Showings – Setting up property showings with a local expert in each area you’ll be visiting on the trip…
- Troubleshooting – Helping with any issues that might arise while you’re in Costa Rica…
