Hi Bekah,
Thank you for your reply and the links. We currently own a lake front home in North Florida and are looking to duplicate this in Costa Rica. A condo with nice amenities may be a good choice however we are open. Lake Arenal looks very nice but a smaller lake may be a better option IF actual lakefront property is available at a reasonable cost. There is an almost overwhelming amount of listings on the net for Lake Arenal but seemingly nothing on "other" lakes. We would be selling our home here and likely buying but would like to keep a purchase at or below 300k. We will be at Playa Flamingo in June for several days of world class fishing and some exploring. You can contact me separately at JDStansberry@aol.com if that is more appropriate.
Thank you again for your reply!
Best,
John

Let me clarify for you... I have a meeting with my lawyer on Thurs (I am her English teacher now ;)) and I will ask for you. I will get back to you soon.

This is also her email: coachmel@yougotmel.org

There are a lot of businesses where people help you relocate, yet I don't have someone in perticular I can recommend. Have you done research on Costa Rica to see which areas could be the best fit.

You may want to look into the online version (which would be cheaper) of the conference. It is a good way to get lots of info and start to figure out if Costa Rica is right for you. Are you looking for a rental or to purchase a property? I know some real estate agents I could recommend depending on the area you are interested in.

Feel free to give me some more details into what you are looking for by sending an email and I can try helping you more. 🙂
