Did any gringoes who moved to Costa Rica make some kind of club for expats to join to help each other?

Yes. There's several. Google"expats in Costa Rica" or search on Facebook.

When they do. There are horror stories of the ARCR failures. But it is a good place to start.

Be very careful of who you trust there. It seems like almost everyone is looking for an angle to separate you from your money. I would suggest renting for a decent amount of time before you buy as you will get a handle on how things work. Rents can be inexpensive depending on your needs but read your contract. A place my fiance lived in want a 10% increase in rent each year. Her mom just rented a place and they wanted a 50% increase each year. Talk about ridiculous and she is now moving. you might want to look at the San Pedro area up by the mall as being close to the action. I am close to the airport and prefer to be away from downtown.

Thanks for the info

What type of horror stories are we talking about? Just curious because I've been considering using them.

ARCR-done residency applications that take multiple years with no actual forward movement and the applicant actually having to take over the process he's paid ARCR thousands of dollars to do and do it himself.

Thanks MM3, I have always heard that they were a ripoff.

Thanks for the reply MM3. I've heard mostly good stories about ARCR but one or two bad ones. And of coarse its usually just hearsay. If I do decide to use them I will post my experience.

I have had nothing but good experiences with ARCR for years.

Strangely those that have bad ones have spectacularly bad ones - and post them on the ARCR forum as running commentary as they play out

ARCR does not do residency applications and haven't for the 13 years I've been here. No wonder they never got processed. Thousands of dollars that is pure horse pucky.
