Frustrated and fed up with U.S. domestic politics and agenda, we have seen the majority of our buyers looking at Costa Rica real estate as an alternative to living in the U.S. As an escape from the high taxes in the US, Costa Rica is fast becoming a business hub for corporations and the self employed. Multi-national corporations are opening up plants here because of the educated work force and the governments willingness to help provide tax relief. The government has the same attitude towards the self-employed which makes Costa Rica an ideal location to relocate.

As a result, more and more people are quickly discovering that with modern technology they can completely move their businesses to Costa Rica, keep all the comforts of their U.S. lifestyle and most importantly pay much less in both taxes: business tax and personal tax.

In addition, Costa Rica is a very short plane ride from the US, in fact it takes less time to fly from Boston to Costa Rica than it would take to L.A.
