FOR SALE / RENT
Visit our website

Each of the units consists of two bedrooms / two bathrooms, and a large living/dining/kitchen area. The floor plan of each of these units has eliminated the optional "den / office" divider. The result is a larger area offering more flexible furniture arrangements while still maintaining the option of including an office area. At 105m2 plus two parking spots each and storage locker, they offer a great opportunity for someone seeking views, security, central location, and first class, all round living...

What Happened This Week

Weather: Enough rain to keep all happy... garden is looking great. Over the past several weeks, we have experienced a series of low pressures resulting in lots of rain... more in parts of the country other than the Central Valley but even here we have seen lots of overcast days.

Stories

1. Pool Work: It is nearing completion. Next week I will provide pictures. A person who complained strongly re. ?????? accusing all types of things and making a number of assertions because he felt it was taking too long, has not used the pool since it has been reopened... and I got yelled at when I was filling it because someone couldn't do their laundry because the water pressure was too low... difficult to make / keep everyone happy.

2. Slippery walkway tile: My experiment failed... the sand blasting equipment was not robust enough. I will look for another solution.

3. Foreclosure: The additional paperwork was filed. We wait... now since Jan. 21.

4. My Replacement Left: The person who I had hoped would replace me and with whom I worked and trained for 4 mo., decided ...for reasons which neither Vito nor I can really understand... to move on. We will not burn bridges with him but he is definitely not going to be performing the role he was... This is a big disappointment but not totally unexpected ...never the less, a big disappointment... he was tailor made for the job and while we provided him with the best salary, working conditions, and opportunities we could, he had other ideas... we can second guess his thinking/actions but it still leaves us without an replacement for me. So, I am back in the saddle, pulling the sled once again...

5. A Deal Gone Bust: I had been working on a deal for 6 wks. The final deadline was Friday, noon. The deal fell appart because information was not provided in a timely manner and the reality was different than some of the information... what a waste of time and legal expenses.

6. Scotiabank: Wants and updated info... what fun putting all that together... it was suppose to be January of 2021... they changed their minds.

7. Taxes, Banks and Covid: Invoicing, paying taxes, paying multiple accounts at multiple banks, collecting accounts, social distancing, face mask, limited working hours, limited working staff, driving restrictions -each of two cars are out of service two days of each week, shopping, cooking, entertaining, keeping Doneste operational, ...no hammock time...

Comments:

The colon: US $ exchange rate has changed a bit -from recent 560 to 572- my guess is that it will continue to float down against the $$.

The national government has reduced the allocation of funds for city street maintenance by C41,500 million.

Banks have had to drop 187,000 credit cards because the associated interest rates exceeded the newly effective usury law limiting interest to 31% in US dollars / 38% in colones. This cut 80,000 clients... the debt is to be written off from what I understand...

The teachers credit union has been ordered not to lend to teachers who have less than C200,000 mo. net interest payments. 60% of teachers (50,600) have debts exceeding 50% of their salaries, and 20% have interest payments of 80% or more of their salaries ...but they have second jobs because they never teach... schools closed or teacher protests, holidays, professional development days, sick days...

National government is expecting to loose 21% of tax revenue, 3.3% of GDP and it was expecting to cut 1% of GDP expenses. The 21% expected loss amounts to C1.2 trillion.

I asked a smart tico if he things the government finances can continue. His response was that CR is so small and on an international level, the several billion CR requires is chump change so, yes, it will continue.
