When we asked expats what advice they would give a foreigner before buying a property in Nicaragua, they said...

"First, it is important to thoroughly research the local market and understand the applicable laws in Nicaragua. It is also important to use a registered and legal real estate professional or lawyer with local expertise when purchasing property in Nicaragua. Understanding the local customs and culture is also essential when moving forward with the purchase of property. Additionally, it is important to obtain a property valuation from a qualified expert as well as consider the current political and economic stability of the area. Lastly, due diligence should always be conducted to ensure that there are no outstanding tax obligations associated with the property prior to finalizing the purchase," explained one expat living in Nicaragua.

"EVERYWHERE: rent for a year, be sure you are in the right country, the right state, the right city, &, most importantly, the right state of mind. This is not Las Vegas. Princesses need not apply," said another expat in Jinotepe and Diriamba, state of Carazo, Nicaragua.
