Thanks for your enthusiasm. As more assisted living facilities are developed, I will keep you informed. With the new hospital nearby, health care is easier.

Hi Margaret!
All is great here and the sun is waiting for you. I am still here with the same company and enjoying life. Come bring your granddaughters to visit my parrot Buffy. Now, we can golf.

Very interesting information about health care in Costa Rica, is a small country but I think that is perfect.

I have to agree with you on this one, this is an amazing opportunity provided it has good, clean access to the property with electricity.

Comment on First drop in Costa Rica prices in 20 years and is significant by Robert Shannon

HI Gerald:

It is a fact that many Hotels are for sale.
Often, it is because people start Hotels on a romantic whim and don’t understand what it takes to make one operationally successful. This is usually an opportunity for the astute buyer as long as he knows the business.

There are a few businesses that people tend to think that they can operate easily such as Restaurants, Hotels and Real Estate. I guess it is that they seem simple because everyone needs these services. One thing they don’t realize at the time of deciding to enter one of these business is that these are probably the most competitive of all businesses and the market is usually saturated. People in these businesses are constantly adapting and adjusting to current situations that will affect the outcome for next season. The new people entering these markets may spend years before they realize how to adjust to things to survive and make a living.

Because of the major disaster in the USA, there are probably far too many Hotels to serve this current market.

We sell Hotels both large and small and for the most part people cannot justify the price they ask and as a result they stay on the market for years. Where the numbers work, we usually find early success.
This is not unique to Costa Rica by the way.
