Anyone Interested in a Real Estate Vacation?
Hello,
My name is Isham Collier. I am a real estate consultant in Costa Rica. I have been toying with the idea of putting together a real estate vacation to Costa Rica. I am posting to see what the response would be or if any interest exists at all in this endeavor. I would put together an itinerary, visiting different areas of the country. Real Estate would be on the menu, but as little or as much as the participants want to see. Hotels would be at a discount as well as tours. Deep sea fishing, canopy tours, Arenal Volcano, etc.. I was thinking in the colder months ahead (Maybe Feb.). So that's it, is there an interest in this sort of thing? Any questions?

Yes, I think it would work well. Maybe not with these cheapskates on this forum, though.
When I go to any new area, I always look at real estate and a tour that included that with someone knowledgable would be fun.
Unfortunately, I have no interest in Costa Rica, although if the package were cheap enough, I might consider it just for the vacation value. (which doesn't do you any good)
In the foreign country I do intend to buy in, tours are brought in from Australia to look at farmland, and they are very popular and a lot of real estate gets sold.
The thing about a foreign country, is that there is so much to learn, and a limit to how much time you can visit and decide what to buy.
The only thing I would worry about would be that the tour would take me around and show me only over-priced properties. What is called in South America "The Gringo Tax".
