Who is your California Friend? I was born in San Francisco and lived all over the entire state as I owned 12 California Homes and 3 in Nevada all at one time. I live in Nueva Guinea, Nicaragua, and am retired living here and I develop land and sell land lots for construction. And I love my life in California.

@@JaySJay I totally understand and it does live in the back of our minds...things can change at anytime. For that reason we haven't put "all our eggs in one basket" and have a plan b and c. In addition to your research I recommend spending a good amount of time in multiple places before committing to anywhere.

@@madhuhadas15370 Thank you!

@@charlielima9855 yes working on it😃👍🏼

@@SCSC-qz7rr we first found their website then met with them and looked at projects they've done. As for attorneys, it's all about references from others who have done things and know where to go for what you need.

@@rola4721 good question. The design cost was $1 per square foot. I don't remember the breakdown for engineering and permits but It was all around $3000

@LivingInNicaragua great thank so much for the information. Do you have a POC?

Interesting point. Have thought about this myself. Are you saying that foreign house owners are exposing themselves to possible future confiscation of their houses? Like the Sandinista Party will pick the houses the like and give the poor surrounding peoples a choice of houses to take over and gain title to? No guarantee that history won't repeat itself in other words. The Sandinista are opposed to USA intervention, but why are they letting so many Americans buy their land and invest in these high-end houses? Do these foreigners have any ethical doubt that by building high-end houses that local Nicas could never afford that they are setting up a class struggle that may eventually back-fire on these investments? This home owner waxes on about big decisions like what tile color they want, while the average Nica is wondering how they might put food on their for this kids. Just seems slightly out of order. No doubt they must be happy with the finished product. But, at what cost to social dis-regulation.

You have to wipe your mouth first before you speak. I know Nicaragua because your country was founded in a genocide against real Americans. In Nicaragua, the medical system is free... and many gringos come to Nicaragua to attend to their medical needs.

Don't believe everything that comes out on Fox News or CNN. The American press manipulates information to keep the population of the United States deceived and it seems that you are one of the millions who live in a bubble believing that the world is only the US.

Somozhits Will never get anything just to let you know and come visit our beautiful country

And your point is? Don't move to Nicaragua because of the communist? When was the last time you walked around Leon and San Juan del Sur? A significant number of foteigners are enjoying the peace and security of Nicaragua. However, do keep in mind that it is a thirld world country.

We paid about $115 per square foot. It's possible to pay less and a lot more😜

@@LivingInNicaraguaMay I ask what your lot dimensions are and what price you paid for that?

@@SilverbugInc the lit is 1.25 acres. We paid $35,000. We are also in a gated community.

@@LivingInNicaragua is there any financing available for Europeans or North Americans? That’s quite a price considering I can buy in southern France, Spain, Italy, or Portugal

@@SilverbugInc I don't know but will ask when I interview my real estate friend

I think There were never locals in this beach

As an American living in Nica who owns property, I grapple with this every day. I am fully aware of the hypocrisy of me being a gringo and hoping that Nicaragua doesn’t end up like Costa Rica. There are relatively few expats living here and there isn’t an issue with displacement of Nicas on the horizon, but I’m certainly aware of the possibility of it becoming a real problem in a few decades. Nicas, for the most part, love expats and welcome us into their communities. I find myself spending way more time among Nicas than expats. It certainly helps that I made the effort to learn Spanish, respect their customs and am very much interested in their lives. I employ two Nicas with full time salaries and pay them far above the minimum wage while limiting their hours to around 20 per week. I volunteer my time and money in their communities and they are very thankful for that. My family has been welcomed with open arms and we are extremely grateful to have been able to assimilate so easily. At the same time, I know that it’s entirely possible that I may be the tip of the spear of gentrification or neocolonialism and it is something that is always at the forefront of my mind and always colors my actions. I know that not every gringo shares my mindset and I worry that RUclips videos like these might be an advertisement for people who want to make Nicaragua an extension of the place they came from rather than allowing the country and the people to change them for the better. Nicaragua deserves to be shown in a good light and yet it can be a double edged sword. I just ask that anyone who comes to this country to live, to remember why they left their country and not try to mold their environment and instead, allow this beautiful country and its people to change you. I’m not in any way passing judgement on Laura. She seems like a nice lady and she has a lovely home. I understand that people will make content about their own lives and I don’t fault her for that. I just worry that we will overrun this beautiful country someday and attempt to change what makes it so special. Once again, I realize my hypocrisy and understand any judgement I might receive from others.

because CR is too damn expensive now thanks to expats and our inefficient/corrupt government. Plus the locals are fed up with the excess of "expats" who buy up all the land, use all our water, and treat us like second class citizens in OUR OWN COUNTRY

From my experience, Costa Rica is getting more expensive and not very safe.
