Americans/Canadians/Europeans have the same right to own land in Costa Rica. taxes are only 0.25%!

FYI I'm currently working with distressed properties in Ukraine, and returns are strong (30+% IRRs on residential) but no mortgages to speak of and it seems like it's much easier to sell the idea to European investors (who have very low rental returns in general, and lower price appreciation in most areas outside the big cities like London, Paris, etc.) than to US investors (who can either buy their own property with very low mortgage rates and/ or invest via a multiple of ways (private lending, fix 'n flips, Crowdfunding sites, etc.).

Another huge bonus is that the culture here is very amenable as the population is totally comprised of people of European descent.

Prices on waterfront properties are generally lower - though European and U.S.A. buyers have been driving them up these past years - and, at the moment, you get a 23 - 25% bonus on the currency exchange.Now, we don't have California's year-round weather, but we also don't have the prices, crime or earthquakes ;-)

As we raised our crew of nine young adults, we learned of the challenges that many Eastern European orphaned children face.

Some types of searches (probates, obituaries) would lead to the grand father (NOT my kind of dead of person), and miss the European loner (my kind of dead person).

My prediction is that bank lending in the U.S. will tighten up even more, as the European debt crisis worsens.

So there's this thing that's been bugging me for some time.I'm in two European markets.
