Well, it is time again for that boring Costa Rica Real Estate Market Update. If you only visit my site and subscribe to my Newsletters so you can live vicariously through my adventures of white water rafting, consumption of alcoholic beverages and chasing beautiful women, then just go ahead and delete this article now. Those of you interested in the real estate side of my life; please read on.

If you’re looking for business ideas Costa Rica has much to offer. What kind of business opportunities exist?

Although many of my clients are retirees who come here to enjoy their twilight years, the dynamics of our community is changing. Younger people are relocating to paradise.  Some in their 20s and 30s, who have that entrepreneurial bug, are opening businesses and bringing their children along as well and putting them into private bilingual schools. They see the opportunities that exist here and want to capitalize, especially as it is getting harder and harder to succeed in North America, with all of the rules, regulations, taxes and competition. Also, many people who contact me are in their 40s and 50s. They are not mentally or financially ready to retire yet, and want to reinvent themselves. They are tired of their previous careers and want to enjoy a better lifestyle, while redefining their lives.

Costa Rica Business opportunities are endless really. We have a big advantage, as we already know what works. We have lived in North America, and seen every type of business imaginable. So you don’t have to INVENT something new, just take the model and apply it here in Costa Rica. It is almost like having a time machine. We know what types of businesses succeed, we know what works; we just need to fill in the blanks.
