I finally got the courage to move to Costa Rica

To be fair, It’s my 2^nd attempt to “make it” overseas!

Traded America’s stress, anxiety, and uncertainty for a more carefree existence.

The US’s position in the world and the lives of all Americans are becoming unglued. The dollar system is ending and perhaps WWIII is happening —Once in a Century changes are happening— time to diversify.

Not just survive, but PROSPER.

Now I’m having a blast enjoying myself in ways not possible back home.

After lots of research and failures, I found a way to change my life, with income to support living in CR:

Found the ideal location! I’ve visited or lived all OVER Costa Rica. Uvita is perfect- with Envision Fest gone, there are more Whales than wild parties, but still close enough to those funky good times if needed. Growing so quickly yet still feels in the early stages (conveniences yet new opportunities).
Finally, found the right Mentor, Angela, with the right planning, combined with this team from Spain making all the difference.
With my limited budget I only thought to buy a piece of land = Years of no house/no income. My Mentor Angela (Jefa) showed me a diamond in the rough cash cow project —an older downtown property for OCF (outsized cash flow)—. Consider GCF- good cash flow 1% return per month.

Who wouldn’t want Outsized Cash flow of 3% monthly ($8,000 a month pays this lifestyle very well!)

That’s how I joined Angela’s team.

I’ve been tasked with helping US and Canadian citizens with the process of relocating to Costa Rica. We consult with you to help with all the details of a successful move.

If you’ve ever thought to make some life changes, let’s schedule a consult.

1st we need to identify your true goals::

Angela

In Spain, I was professionally engaged in the construction of luxury villas à la carte. I moved to Costa Rica with my whole family knowing that it was a much younger and promising market than the European one.

I have spent two years adapting my legal, construction, and investment knowledge to the characteristics of the country. In those years I have made several mistakes that have cost me a lot of time and money, but my successes have been more and more remarkable.

Now I have decided to put my experience at the service of other people to help them achieve their dreams without so many difficulties.

I have my own business in the USA- Project Management in the roofing industry. Working hail storms in CO, SD, ND MT you have to be nimble, quick, presentable, able to be away from family an friends for 6 months a year at the least. It’s an expertise which pays well but also requires deferment of life satisfaction. So I’e been motivated to become free of this and create a sustainable lifestyle in paradise..

It’s a rare opportunity to work with these kinds of people, so I’m happy to pass along old and newfound knowledge. Let Esencia Nova keep a vigilant eye on the process of buying the right property you need.

I love to fly, I enjoy riding the waves, and I thirst for adventure, Costa Rica is the perfect place for those passionate about life.

20 years ago I decided to come to this tropical paradise and invested all the money I had in luxury constructions in the jungle. I have been living off my investments ever since, either by buying and selling properties or renting them out on Airbnb. I have gained a lot of experience, I know the country, its people, and what and how are the most profitable and interesting constructions.

I love to help adventurers like me to find their place in Costa Rica.

Wanting is not the same as needing

I, for example, Wanted, to buy a lot and build a house with ocean views. With my budget I was fooling myself- the lot would be dead $, sitting there empty with no income, no place to live.

My selling agent from one of the local Big Firms didn’t ask or care what I needed. He just wanted to make a sale.

Instead, I trusted Esencia Nova when they showed me a sweet cash flow opportunity. Less investment needed, but with outsized income. Perfect for MY situation, triple expected return (3% monthly ROI), ask for more details.

Next, Esencia Nova kept a vigilant eye on my empty property. When a local drunk decided to make it home, they took care of it, to the extent of an employee residing there keeping watch!

More examples of what makes Esencia Nova different- they passed on their OWN material pricing- 40% discount! They designed and are building my project. I’ve never observed such efficiency in Latin America

Again, my buyer agents didn’t help me with setting up my water bill, getting an accountant, or opening a business bank account. It was Esencia Nova setting me up for success!

Some doubts you might have

What types of buildings do you construct?

We built houses, villas, cabins, and hotels in Costa Rica, with concrete or a steel structure.

Do you promote sustainability in your construction projects?

We do construction with a focus on sustainability, reusing almost all leftover materials, keeping the original trees on the property, using eco-friendly building materials, minimizing energy consumption during construction, and designing homes to optimize natural light and ventilation.

Which is more expensive, a steel or concrete structure construction?

When you build a house with a concrete structure you have to make a larger foundation and require the drying of the components before proceeding. This increases execution times and labor, as well as machinery rental times, which translates into higher economic costs.

In dry construction with steel structure, very little cement is used: The drywall does not require the use of cement and the steel structure is light and requires less foundation. This is a remarkable saving given that cement is relatively expensive in Costa Rica. However, steel is also very expensive. So the material costs of a steel structure in a well-executed and reinforced steel structure usually exceed the material costs of a concrete structure.

Which structure, steel or concrete, is more efficient for making better use of space?

Steel structures require less volume and surface area to support the same weight as concrete structures.

which has less impact on the environment, steel or concrete construction?

Leftover materials from a steel structure are easily reusable or recyclable. In addition, when the structure reaches the end of its useful life, in many cases it can be dismantled and part of the investment can be recovered. Houses with concrete structures will generate more debris and more pollution.

Which is easier to maintain, a steel or concrete frame house?

In general, steel structures require much more maintenance than concrete structures.

Which is more resistant to fire, a steel or concrete frame house?

While concrete is very resistant, the steel structure is flammable and collapses at high temperatures.

Which is more resistant to earthquakes, a steel or concrete frame house?

The steel structure is more flexible and resistant to damage caused by earthquakes. This is a point to be taken into account given that this is a territory with a lot of geological activity.
