I love watching House Hunters International on the H&G channel, but really think they should have a disclaimer about the possibility of political upheaval and the potential for a total loss of their investment, maybe even personal injury or loss of life. Lots of properties(usually scenic and lovely) are shown on both Costa Rica and Nicaragua...and other countries that could be potential trouble spots.

In neither of these countries, Nico and Tico, are Americans allowed to own a freehold property without a Tico or Nico "partner." O, you can "buy" a condo, but read the fine print.

Along a waterway of any kind, forget it, you can buy it but it's not yours. Costa Rica has a fairly thick layer of civilization, until you draw near the northern border. Nicaragua? Fuggedaboutit.

Ola Gringo, ya no se está en Kansas. ?Comprendes?

The US will respond by giving Venezuela ways to defeat our defenses, and by giving Russia our nuclear codes.
