We are thinking about moving to Granada & our plan is to work for a US company remotely. Does anyone else do this, could recommend any companies, have any cautionary tales, or have inside info we may not find searching online?

I might suggest that you find your US job while still in the US. If they don't mind where you live you are set. Since your money comes from abroad, Nic. is happy. You will probably want to use a lawyer to set up residency and discuss these issues with him.
Keep in mind that secondary services such as snailmail, fax, Checks, and money transfers are slow or unreliable here. Do everything online when possible, and jump each other obstacle as you come to it.

If you're not working remotely now, you won't know the difference. I've watched a couple guys slowly circle the drain in SJDS the past couple years while talking a lot about working remotely. But, of course, they weren't working remotely while they were talking about it. Both those were sales jobs, with quotas intended to weed out the easily distracted.

Two really separate issues..getting the business and doing it here. For the first one a lot depends on what you do. If 100% 0n line including getting the business really does not matter where you are when you get it. If it requires some contact, then obviously better off to get while in USA, As for leads to companies....well again depends on what you do and references, etc. I don't think you will get too many leads on here...those are not common jobs. Bottom line is if you are depending on the job to be able to live here...don't. Once you get it, it's decently easy. Getting residency is a good idea but you can work remotely without that. As mentioned, you will have to rely on the online hook up, phone (skype or similar for voice is excellent) and DHL when needed. Mail is bad and fax not readily accessable so can be done but a pain. To start leave $$ in USA bank..have wires of fees deposited there, pay stuff on line from that account and take out cash here from ATM......getting 2K out at ATM will cost you 10 bucks in fees so not bad. That part is easy...getting business is not. Good luck

ATZ gave you the best advise. Reread it carefully. There is no 'business' here unless you are totaly fluent an know/married to the Pella family. or maybe you are Chinese billionaire.;)

If either one of johnchips situations is correct, find out if she has a sister...under 180 lbs is good but could go to 200 for the right one....
