@@TheWanderingInvestor okay, but specifically in a situation like what you find involving Nicaragua? Of course there are significant risks anywhere these days. Europe and the middle east especially.
If you are only looking at Costa Rica, that seems like a great value. But in Nicaragua, that price is absurd. It's important to offer more complete information like that a house like that is only $80K actually on the beach in most of the country. Even in SJDS, $350K isn't realistic. That's what we expect if you ask a real estate agent, but there is a reason that houses don't sell down there mostly. You have to account that those houses sit on the market for years. You give comparisons to high cost locations, which makes it seem like SJDS is a deal, but it's an isolated bubble of high prices compared to most of the region. It might still be a place that you would choose, but only comparing against cherry picked high cost locations gives a skewed view. In Nicaragua, Honduras, Salvador, Guatemala the quotes prices are nuts. Especially when beach front hotels fail to sell for years at lower price. It's important to note that many houses stayed on the market for many, many years. Not one or two, it's common to have houses on the market for seven years with no movement.
I have lived here since 2010. A visit from my son Caused me to go on a two week tour and see Nicaragua as a tourist again. It seemed to me that San Juan Del Sur is not much anymore. Places like Leon and the beach developments up the coast have really stolen all of the luster. When I got to SJDS, I saw that things have mostly stayed the same since 2010 other than that there are fewer businesses and Restaurants in the center of SJDS. If you wanted to eat something other than seafood on the beach now, there were few choices, and frankly, I walked out of two of them and was disappointed with the third.
Totally agree with you. I thought the market was cooked when I first arrived two years ago. And after a lot of research I personally chose to buy in Popoyo and Las Penitas. I'm not regretting my decision.
Leon and the beaches near Leon will have more different restaurants, museums, and Leon is not that far from Managua. Real Estate Agents probably aren't licensed yet, though there's some talk about having more regulations. Chinese are buying businesses all over Nicaragua.
I've been spending about three-quarters of my time in San Juan del Sur for around four years now. I came here originally because it was one of the few countries open during COVID. As for tourism, there’s really only one decent motel, and you might be thinking of the backpackers in hostels. The beach is muddy, not sandy, and there's only one restaurant where the steak isn’t tough. If you're an American like me from a big city, you may find the lack of amenities frustrating, especially when it comes to finding a cup of coffee-most restaurants don’t serve it, even though Nicaragua produces some of the finest coffee in the world. On the upside, I appreciate the hour-and-a-half commute to Miami, the safety, and the friendliness of Nicaraguans, who go out of their way to help. Plus, I have access to free quality medical care, and I see my English-speaking cardiologist for just $40, spending a full hour with me. Contrary to what you might read, the government here is well-run..
Way too expensive for what it is. Look at the roof. Oractically thatch. Not at all hurricane proof. Crappy materials in construction. And unless you own that land infrint near the beach, it will only stay vacant until the rules\laws change. Totally illiquid is a HARD NO!
This is true all over Nicaragua -- I know of houses that have been on the market in Jinotega for at least the 14 years that I've lived here. I know of crimes that happened in San Juan del Sur in the the 14 years I've been here.
Don't know what's in San Juan del Sur. In general nternet is decent to as good as my DC suburbs or better. Health care? Decent. I've used private and public free. Ask around about doctors. Nicaraguan doctors know how to do some things brilliantly, other thing okay. Most don't speak English where I live. Maybe different in Managua. Free hospitals have wards, not individual rooms, and you pay for an attendant, but everything else is free.
Are you getting residency there mr wanderinginvestor. Accurate assessment of chinese belt and road! .... But they just shut down on the 10 year canal project proposal.? No
Not getting residency there; requires a lot of presence. The Canal might be back in the plans. Check my latest tweets about this. x.com/wander_investor/status/1788649553157075227?s=46
350k ?? 😂😂way overpriced and in nicaragua? The government could seize it tomorrow and bad luck for you They do it all the time . Listen to news in spanish
YES. Literally you are one post on social media away from the goverment taking your beautiful property. Besides, you cause gentrification for us the locals, who cant afford the rent because prices go higher each day to match ya'll needs!. Do us a favor and stay in your country.
Another excellent video. What is the effect of the new highway? Natalie sounds like she's from New Jersey! How is the medical care in San Juan del Sur?
Thank you Highway: big catalyst as it’ll make Costa Rica around the corner. Natalie: Pennsylvania Healthcare: SJDS is decent for basic issues. The capital city has good private hospitals for anything more important
@@TheWanderingInvestor How far does "basic issues" go in terms of diagnostics, pharmaceutical meds, and treatment and surgery? Anything that isn't considered "highly specialized"? Are most usual OTC and prescription meds in North America available in SJDS?
Did you invest in Calibre Mining over last few yrs? Turned out to be a decent play if bought that dip in '22. One of the few juniors I've noticed actually work out and in the green
Ultra wealthy don't worry about those things, they will have housekeepers etc helping the local economy. And Gentrification so it becomes unaffordable for the locals.
Apparently its safe for foreigners but not natives. $350k is a lot of money for the kind of infrastructure you’re in. I didn’t see four walls in those rooms. It’s very open space home.
I think I've read or heard about how Nicaraguans have been getting frustrated or upset with the influx of foreigners moving there. I wouldn't want to go somewhere the locals are getting fed up with people like me. Also, for some reason I have the impression the government can be unhinged, maybe something else I've read or heard about over last few years...? I was interested in it there, but kept uncovering info that didn't sound too great, and it wasn't from western biases media sources. Anything to counter this impression?
Not true at all. Just stay out of Ortega's way and everything is super stable. People in all those other countries are far worse off under US dominates capitalism. In Nicaragua Ortega deals the drugs himself. Zero cartel wars. Incredibly safe. A soldier with a machine gun on every 3rd street. Unless you are a protestor its incredibly safe. Costa Rica is dangerous in the rurals and the locals are far poorer as things are so much more expensive. The other countries are similar. The US just hates dictators that aren't their bitch. They LOVE a dictator that does exactly what they want...give all the resources to corporations.
If we start driving up prices, we do get disliked. That happens in the US when rural communities get over run with snow birds. Best advice is stay away from the usual expat placees, look at parts of Managua in the hills, look at Leon, Boaco, Chotales, the mountain towns, and even other countries depending on what you have to live on. Figure out what you need to be happy and find a place that has whatever that is -- flyfishing for giant tetras, riding horses, keeping orchids in a garden year round, playing Andean flutes (Ive heard Andean music twice in Nicaragua), surfing, photographing Central America brocket deer and birds. Find the place that has whatever that is. My rule of thumb was no more than 30 other foreigners but at least six.
Don't spend more than you can afford to lose. This is not an investment. Way to many unknowns it's just that simple. Be careful with the whole retirement real estate business in the 3rd world.
Nicaragua incredibly safe. Much safer than just about any other central or South American country. The US just says its unsafe to fool idiots into not travelling their as a way of sanctioning their governement because there president refuses to sell his countries resources to US corps for pennies like a bitch
This really depends on where you live and how often you walk around drunk or how many teenagers you're having sex with who have real boyfriend/girl friends. Safest neighborhoods are Nicaraguan middle class with the business in the front of the house and the living quarters upstairs or in back. I've got dentists, doctors, crafts men living in my neighborhood. Petty theft is common. Violent crime isn't.
Leon is what Granada would be if it was a reconstruction of the city that American freebooters burned to the foundations in most of the city circa 1856 or so. Also, price in Mexico vary enormously. If you're williing to look outside the famous expat places, you'll pay less, but the requirements for residency require higher monthly income or a large savings account. You are required to qualify in your country of residence.
Very interested in San Juan Del Sur -- perhaps a small plot of land to build upon later? How easy/difficult is it to cross into Costa Rica from there, say for purposes of health care?
@@mva6044Very easy. Many people live full-time in SJDS and just go on visa runs to Costa Rica. Feel free to get in touch with Natalie for a plot of land. She can help: thewanderinginvestor.com/services/international-real-estate-services/realtor-in-san-juan-del-sur-nicaragua/
Ask foreign residents about health care in Costa Rica. It has good outcomes from what I was told, but I've been appropriately treated in Nicaragua for an allergic reaction and for pneumonia in the free system, and for diagnosis of a hiatal hernia and high blood pressure in the private system. I'm alive. For reasons, the doctors also are quite good at handling trauma. As an foreigner, you'll probably want to see if you can get either INSS (national health and retirement insurance) here or the Costa Rican National Insurance. However because they're competing with free, private care tends to be more reasonably priced than in the US.
One great thing in Nicaragua during the COVID hysteria is the government didn't lockdown the society. Viva Nicaragua. Don't forget the retired demographic. The only real problem is the heat and humidity... it can be intolerable in Central America ....
More correct to say they did not lock down the tourist centers. I lived in Jinotepe and we were locked down. And even today I was told that to renew my residency I have to start getting a new Covid shot every 6 months. But you don't need one to come here as a tourist.
@@TerryOrzechowski I thought Nicaragua wasn't strict about the COVID madness....because Nicaragua was considered a poor country....I'm finished with vaccinations, and so is practically everyone I know in North America! People are fed up with the WHO madness of non-experts.
I am so confused, I just going there to visit. I am Latina and I love the culture and people. Mexico not safe at all, I went to Mexico, they robbed us, many times, never again going to Mexico.
I rent and have been renting since 2010. The advantage of renting is that I can bug out if the Americans invade. The other advantage is a local landlord knows the local trades people. You'll get gringo prices for repairs; the local landlord won't.
If China is doing all that work at the gas storage in the rails across the country from the land Atlantic to pacific that is definitely something to be concerned about just saying
Yea, we don’t need that much investors inflating the prices in NIcaragua. You are welcome to Nicaragua but we don’t need people inflating prices on our land and houses. The reason people leave USA or Canada is because the low cost of living until y’all come and elevate the cost of living. You guys never think about the out come of your “investment”. Keep the cost responsible and we will be OK. If a house cost let’s say 100k don’t come over and over bid a price like to 250k or 300k knowing that it doesn’t cost that much. Nicaragua is a great place to live besides the political situation over there.
After I watched the videos of that poor lady whose husband was jailed for traffic accident where a death resulted I wouldn’t move there. A lot of money the family wanted.
The rule is if there's a fatality or serious injury in an accident, the driver of the other car or both drivers go to jail until the insurance companies sort things out. This is why a number of us don't drive but hire taxis for local trips that can't be done on foot.
These agents are looking to score. Keep in mind its a buyers market. Nothing is selling so make an offer . Listing price is irrelevante. This is not Canadá or the USA. AND never put more then your willing to walk away from in a 3rd World contra. Good luck
Renting makes the most sense for a lot of us. My rent in Nicaragua is only $5 difference from one of my brother's HOA fee. If you really want to own, live here at least a year before buying, and learn something about local construction. Piine wood has a 2 year or less life span here.. Adobe under a bad roof can fall apart.
Oh yes, I love when foreigners come to drive up house prices to levels a Nicaraguan could never afford, so that the foreigner lives like royalty while the local can only see. Then, the local has to be "thankful" because the foreigner is "giving them jobs". This lady, and the video, is very cynical!🤬
If anyone has serious money, move to where there are local people with equally serious money. Don't spend more on a house than a middle class local family could afford. If here are no middle class people around, nope,not a good idea.
They're not going to do that to foreigners unless they buy in restricted areas (indigenous land, coastal land, land near international boundaries. Or if you start running guns or drugs -- if you're deported, the land will probably be confiscated.
No es el comunismo, es mixto. The funny thing is all the hard core Marxists who are totally opposed to the government because it's encouraging business investments.
A lot of people left in 2018. At least these people were honest about the liquidity problem. As one man said, if you invested money equal to the cost of a house wisely, you could rent in Nicaragua on the dividend and still would have your money. Trying to get your money out from a house you bought without spending time here is kinda difficult.

What kind of jobs are there?
Pool cleaning and drug king pins
No jobs
@@testadept 🧐 great view of drug king pins 🥴
Only the United Nations and other non governmental organizarions human trafficking foreigners through the country up to the US. Maybe they are hiring?
You can get residency working remote.
A beautiful place saves on taxes and insurance...
Why do you always stand on a crate when you do your interviews? Lol. Good interview as usual.
What do you mean stand on a crate I thought he was 7 feet tall.
@@user-rw718 No. He is a famous jockey from Eastern Europe. 4’5” tall and weighs 96 pounds.

Interesting video, but it's annoying that the camera lense is dirty 😅
Is there a vaccine mandate in nicaragua?
No. Fake news.
@@TheWanderingInvestor oh. I heard someone mention that it says so right on nicaraguas health website
@@TheWanderingInvestor from scott alan miller. He is living there and has a UA-cam channel. Vaccine requirement to get residency
@@rastamon5969 Very conflicting reports on the ground
Yea, we don’t need that much investors inflating the prices in NIcaragua. You are welcome to Nicaragua but we don’t need people inflating prices on our land and houses. The reason people leave USA or Canada is because the low cost of living until y’all come and elevate the cost of living. You guys never think about the out come of your “investment”. Keep the cost responsible and we will be OK. If a house cost let’s say 100k don’t come over and over bid a price like to 250k or 300k knowing that it doesn’t cost that much.
Nicaragua is a great place to live besides the political situation over there.
So when are you leaving.?
@@davidwelch5186 where too?
Anybody who helps sell that house to a stupid person for 350,000 needs to be .........

then i heard china...
After I watched the videos of that poor lady whose husband was jailed for traffic accident where a death resulted I wouldn’t move there. A lot of money the family wanted.
The rule is if there's a fatality or serious injury in an accident, the driver of the other car or both drivers go to jail until the insurance companies sort things out. This is why a number of us don't drive but hire taxis for local trips that can't be done on foot.
These agents are looking to score. Keep in mind its a buyers market. Nothing is selling so make an offer . Listing price is irrelevante. This is not Canadá or the USA. AND never put more then your willing to walk away from in a 3rd World contra. Good luck
Yes, negotiate hard
Renting makes the most sense for a lot of us. My rent in Nicaragua is only $5 difference from one of my brother's HOA fee. If you really want to own, live here at least a year before buying, and learn something about local construction. Piine wood has a 2 year or less life span here.. Adobe under a bad roof can fall apart.
Every fucking window got metal gates over it every door has a metal gate around it… but thank god we got fresh milk lmao
Oh yes, I love when foreigners come to drive up house prices to levels a Nicaraguan could never afford, so that the foreigner lives like royalty while the local can only see. Then, the local has to be "thankful" because the foreigner is "giving them jobs". This lady, and the video, is very cynical!🤬
If anyone has serious money, move to where there are local people with equally serious money. Don't spend more on a house than a middle class local family could afford. If here are no middle class people around, nope,not a good idea.
In before the government expropiates it 😂
They're not going to do that to foreigners unless they buy in restricted areas (indigenous land, coastal land, land near international boundaries. Or if you start running guns or drugs -- if you're deported, the land will probably be confiscated.
El Comunismo no es el Mejor Amigo
No es el comunismo, es mixto. The funny thing is all the hard core Marxists who are totally opposed to the government because it's encouraging business investments.
How's the Sex and Drug trafficking there in SJDS?😂
Simple you chip guy .....
Over saturated market, an expat area.
A lot of people left in 2018. At least these people were honest about the liquidity problem. As one man said, if you invested money equal to the cost of a house wisely, you could rent in Nicaragua on the dividend and still would have your money. Trying to get your money out from a house you bought without spending time here is kinda difficult.
Teddy juice is everything.
Lol
This woman is trying to push this with BS
