In this episode, we start with a Q&A session and share a few tips for those retiring to the southern Pacific zone of Costa Rica.

Pura vida.
Even though we call it Talk Show 15, this is indeed the 16th Episode of the Guys In The Zone Talk Show. This episode delves into the topic of construction in Costa Rica. Ben, the founder of Guys In The Zone, interviews Matt Callero of Mango Construction (mangoconstruction.com). Matt offers some answers to the popular questions– Is it difficult to build? How much is construction per square foot? And, what trends he foresees unfolding in the southern Pacific zone. Enjoy!
“Houses that produce rental income” has become an increasingly popular Costa Rica real estate strategy in The Zone. In this video, The Guys explain WHY this investment strategy is smart and how it can be achieved in a fertile rental market. We moved out of the office and shot the video “on location” at such a property above Dominical, Costa Rica.
This episode focuses on the most popular features people look for in Costa Rica real estate– the ocean view and proximity to a river/waterfalls. We explain how whether your desire is to buy an existing home or buy raw land & build, both of these quintessential property features add to the quality of life. If a picture is worth a thousand words, these video clips shot “on location” in two of the best developments in the area will speak volumes. Enjoy.
This is our mid-year review of real estate in the Southern Pacific Zone of Costa Rica. With tourism numbers up 11% in Central America, Ben and Rod discuss how this trend points to a brighter future for The Zone.

If you’re considering relocating, buying a house, raw land, or a commercial business in the greater Dominical or Uvita areas, we encourage you to watch. And, please feel free to share your comments or questions. Gracias.
Video Talk Show – Costa Rica real estate during rainy season is normally a little slow. Add to this a global economic recession and we’ve got what sounds like a recipe for a down time. Not so. The Guys discuss the current market, and a little more.
Episode 8 was a bit delayed by Ben’s well-publicized mishap. Rod goes it alone (and does a darn fine job of things I might add.) Rod gets us up to speed on Ben’s recovery, the current state of the real estate market in Costa Rica’s southern pacific zone, and some hot listings.
