I have done well for a year or so, then last three months, have been basically dead, except for a few leads that didn't pan out for reasons not relevant here.QUESTION- Over the past few months I have had alot of "suspicious" seeming leads- people with no reviews, who just joined, clearly not english speakers- many of whom have the same "pitch", making me think they might be bots of some sort.

I have an idea that could make you pocket you some quick dough in our tech driven info age:Develop an app for finding absentee owners using someone on Fiverr or some techie in India for cheapCall it something snazzy like "Absentee Owner Gold"Market it like crazy online and make it available on Google Play and the Apple Store and anywhere else applicable for a cheap price like $1.99 with no refunds Have customer support via email or phone only in some foreign country where english is a fourth languageTech/info driven real estate investors buy it in drovesThey open the app and a message pops up "knock on some of the neighbors doors"Frustrated customers call/email customer support and get further frustrated by the inability to communicate with foreign customer service whose english is a fourth language but they string the customer along anyway thus buying you time to make more salesKeep it up for as long as it takes to make 6 or 7 figures Close up shop and disappear

In plain English, it means that the credit rating agencies think there is a high probability that the government of Costa Rica will default on its debt.I understand you might not like to read any negative comments on Costa Rica because you bought property there and so you might prefer to look at the Costa Rica from its positive angles and it has many! 

Philippines are cheaper and speak better English, but while they all say they can work the graveyard shift (being 12 hours time difference with EST), you should expect some problems with their internet connections, electricity and floods.
