As most of you know, I’m not into politics at all, and I’m even less into U.S. politics. Politics is usually not good for business, especially if you choose sides. But I do take clients’ happiness seriously; the reason why I make my living in real estate. And it seems that lately, the victory of one president or another has influenced my clients’ happiness.
When I wrote this blog in March 2016, I lost many subscribers. But many new readers subscribed, and after a while, many of the ones that unsubscribed came back. They seem to like what I have to say about Costa Rica real estate.
John Hepner, our commercial real estate affiliate, made me aware in 2016 of someone promoting an island near Nova Scotia in Canada. The article was titled “Cape Breton when Trump wins the elections“, the original website was hacked.
It looks like my original plan in 2016 might still work perfectly for you, no matter how the next elections turn out. So, better read on:
Move to Costa Rica?
I have a great plan for you: Move to Costa Rica when Trump wins the elections. Or even if Biden wins again. Why?
Because Costa Rica has a proven track record of taking great care of thousands of retirees who move to Costa Rica every year. It’s really funny how many articles have already been picked up by Google on the question of where to move when Trump wins the elections. I don’t think any candidate for US president has had so much support from real estate agents in other countries.
In case you’re wondering, Costa Rica has been ready for you for years. We will respond quickly. Try to do the ARCR seminar, or ask me for a Zoom meeting, and I’ll get you going.

Other elections
The election of George W. Bush was an excellent event for real estate in our beautiful country. Many North Americans moved to Costa Rica fast at the beginning of George W. Bush’s administration, especially in his 2nd administration. The event was so successful that I wrote an article in 2012 titled “Costa Rica real estate agents want you to vote for Obama.”
Reasons for moving to Costa Rica
So why should you move to Costa Rica when Trump wins the elections?
- You can pick the microclimate you like best. Whether you like warm, warmer, cool, or cooler weather, or somewhere in between, we’ll find the right place for you in Costa Rica. The weather in Cape Breton seems to be a bit different.
- We have a green and a dry season. You only need one sweater, a suitcase full of t-shirts, shorts, flip-flops, and only one tie occasionally for official business at the embassy.
- Our government spends our tax money on overpaid bureaucrats instead of an army. And we’re still the happiest people on the planet.
- We have traffic jams everywhere, and we’re still happy.
- Costa Rica is among the top 10 places to live or retire in International Living, but Cape Breton is not.
- Not everybody speaks English here. But you’ll figure it out if you try to speak Spanish just a little bit. I’m sure you will.
- You can invest in property in Costa Rica by using your IRA or 401(k) without running into trouble with the US tax authorities.

- We have a pretty stable economy. The sun shines a lot, so you don’t need money to heat your home. Your family and friends would love you to move here so they can visit occasionally and have a cheap vacation.
- Imported US food products are expensive in Costa Rica. However, we have cheap rice, beans, tortillas, local beer, milk, vegetables, and plenty of fruits from your own backyard. Cigarettes and cigars are cheap, but smoking is not allowed in any public place.
Relocation tours
Check our country out by booking Christopher Howard’s relocation/retirement tours to find out if Costa Rica is the right country for you to move to when Trump wins the elections. To make it even more attractive, while you are here, you should have a good look at getting cosmetic surgery and dentistry, which will probably pay for your trip.
U.S. Politics when living in Costa Rica
Once you have moved, you can still stay involved in U.S. politics. In Costa Rica, we have Democrats Abroad or Republicans Overseas.
Please read our information blogs about moving here and let us know when you’re ready.
