Nothing new for Old CR Hands but Forbes Magazine has a cautionary article about land investments in CR especially absentee.
http://www.forbes.com/business/forbes/2 ... 0/144.html
Being as Forbes is so widely read and highly regarded, maybe this as much as a weakened U. S. economy will slow the inflated ambitions of North Americans dreaming of a trouble-free "Paradise". We can only hope. As the advice here so frequently advises--"Rent, don't buy.".

This happens because people don't do any research whatsoever into what the "laws" are. They take a bag full of money, and go to invest. They assume it's like the US. Then they find out the hard way that they no longer own the land after a few years.

CR is like a primitive society where if you are not holding it, then it must not be yours and available for anybody to take and claim as their own.
