Costa Rica Power Team

Build wealth and secure your future with a self-directed retirement plan.  The Costa Rica Power Team has teamed up with Entrust Arizona to offer self-directed retirement plans.  A self-directed IRA is a retirement account that allows you to choose where to invest your IRA money, as permitted under IRA rules.  These rules allow for real estate investments in IRA accounts.  For more than 25 years, Entrust has been showing individuals and small businesses how to achieve their retirement goals through self-directed IRAs.  Entrust is the only self-directed account plan administrator that serves customers through a nationwide network of dedicated offices.  For more information please call Timarie McClendon of Entrust at 866-459-4580.

Are you planning on buying a vacation or retirement home in Costa Rica?  Then you owe it to yourself to check out our beach front single family homes in our Costa Real master planned community.  Starting at only $285,000, our homes in Costa Real are just a short four minute walk to the beach in Playa Bejuco.   Costa Real is only 20 minutes south of the popular resort town of Jaco.

All homes in Costa Real are sold fully furnished down to the knives and forks.  What’s more they are sold “deeded, fee simple” meaning you own it just like in the United States!  Title insurance is available through Stewart Title.  The homes range in size from 1,800 to 2,000 SF.  They all have three bedrooms, three baths, garage, clay tile roofs and are loaded with amenities.

Check out the “Beach Front” section of this website for more information and call Jason LaFlesch at 602-369-4663 to begin to realize your homeownership dreams.

Soon tourists will be able to relax on one of Costa Rica’s most traditional beaches; the Playa Doña Ana, in Puntarenas, is getting a face lift. Reconstruction work and maintenance, under the surveillance of the Costa Rica Institute of Tourism (ICT), began some weeks ago.

This is one of the many projects taken on by the ICT in an effort to recondition some abandoned tourist destinations, as well as some old beach spots that used to be Costa Rican favorites. The Minister of Tourism Carlos Ricardo Benavides said that he is happy with the way things are moving. The repairs to the infrastructure of the site mean that another weekend destination has been saved, not only for foreign tourists but for Costa Rican families as well.

Puntarenas is one of the closest and most convenient beaches to travel to if coming from San Jose. Once a busy port, it has now an air of abandon but its beaches have started to undergo rigorous clean-up programs, and it is not a bit too soon that the Playas Doña Ana get a helping hand. Playa Doña Ana represents the traditional family Sunday at the beach, and its clean up will allow the tradition to carry on.

The project was put on hold for a couple of months, and it was then decided to give it the go ahead. The Consultation and Construction P&S is in charge of supervising the project, which is expected to come to an end around the end of September of this year, in time for Doña Ana to receive warrented attention during dry season and Christmas break. Over 40 million colones (about $80,000) have been invested in the project. Work has already begun on the reconditioning of the picnic areas, beach access, administrative quarters, parking areas and the exterior lightning. According to the law, special facilities will be installed as well as access ramps for use by handicapped persons.

Next will come the installation of new bathrooms and showers complete with locker rooms, BBQ areas with wooden tables for picnics, and drinking water tanks. A new sewage system is also planned. The goal of the project is to offer a destination where tourists do not have to necessarily spend the night. Indeed, camping will not be allowed so as to preserve the cleanliness and beauty of this small beach.

We look forward to seeing you at our Costa Rica Informational Presentation on Saturday, July 12 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The seminar will be held at the office of State Mortgage located at the SW corner of the Loop 101 and Via de Ventura. Registration is at 9AM and we will start promptly at 9:30AM.
