Hi Nick - Welcome
Welcome to the forum. We welcome your contributions here.
From what I read on the other sites, there are truly still people willing to give Nicaragua the benefit of the doubt. I remember when I first went there five years ago and felt there was some potential. Some green gringos actually convinced me to go there in the first place. Two foreigners with 10 years there told me that investing in Nicaragua was a terrible idea - contracts aren't enforceable, land title rights are evanescent, the "work ethic" made business impossible, etc. I guess some people still have a need to find out for themselves. I did. I can't therefore make too much fun about those who still have those starry eyes. I'll tell it like I see it, though, so that they can effectively tell heads from tails when they start to see it themselves.
How long have you been in Nicaragua? Do you own real estate yourself or work for salary or commission?
