Nicaragua is still great-and the more time I spend there, the more I agree with the articles I read about how those investing there really are getting in on the ground floor as it seems the country can't help but skyrocket in its real estate prices. I had been looking at investing there for a couple of years before I finally did and I would have really done well had I bought when I was originally thinking about it. As long as Ortega doesn't do anything crazy, investment in the country should continue to increase: it is a beautiful, interesting, inexpensive, and in my opinion (especially when compared to other Central and South American countries, including Costa Rica) safe paradise.
