Somoza's Book " NICARAGUA BETRAYED " Was More Truthful !
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Books like these are largely responsible for many of the negative stereotypes many Latin Americans have of U.S. Citizens. Nicaragua is the 2nd poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Anyone who can retire there in luxury amid such horrible poverty should do The U.S. a favor and stay home. Nicaragua and it's people deserve better. I may also add there are many Americans living in Nicaragua and are good citizens who are trying to help the country. You are not going to be helping this unfortunate country by moving there and becoming a land speculator. All this does is drive property prices up and beyond the means of Nicaraguan nationals.
A Huge Help with My Investment Goals
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
About six months ago I visited Nicaragua with the idea of purchasing some land as an investment. I travelled all over the country and looked at property at the beach and inland. The practical advise in this guide helped me find the piece of property I wanted. It was extremely useful in dealing with the legal problems one faces when buying land here. All of the suggestions in this guide made my work easier. I even found an honest and reliable real estate agent through this book. Without this guide I could have never bought my property. I recommend it to anyone who wants to live or invest in Nicaragua. It is a MUST read.
The Right Book for the Move

I just retired as a school teacher. My wife is Nicaraguan and we plan to live at least six months a year in her country. I have visited Nicaragua many times to visit my wife's relatives. Aside from the help her family there has given us this book has been really helpful in planning every step of the move. Thank god someone finally wrote something on this subject. I've read four guidebooks about living in Costa Rica and often wondered when someone would do one for Nicaragua. We'll I no longer have to wait.
Don't leave home without it!

I went to Nicaragua with my church group, then tried on my own. Banks, the post office, lawyers and even day to day relationships DON'T work the same as in the USA. This book has been invaluable to me as I've tried to figure things out. Lots of practical advice, phone numbers, etc. I lost my copy, and now I'm buying another one.
