Yesterday, I posted a blog article here on Active Rain, titled "US Buyers' Financing Options for Costa Rica Properties".  I did it because a common question I get from prospective buyers is how are they going to finance the purchase of a Costa Rican home.  So, I thought that it was high time that I addressed this question on my blog.

I got several comments on this article from Active Rain members that were both flattering and constructive.  But that's not why I'm writing.  I'm writing about the POWER of Active Rain, when it comes to reaching out across the Internet to the World.

This morning - about 24 hours after I posted the aforementioned article here on Active Rain - I got an email from a fellow interested in more information on financing for Costa Rica real estate.  He said that he found me on Active Rain this morning when he did a Google search for Costa Rica real estate financing!  Within 24 hours, my blog article hit the Internet and was available to all around the World who were looking for content on the subject of Costa Rica real estate financing!

Testimony to the !POWER! of Active Rain!

Tiffany, wanted to thank you for taking your time to comment on something we just did. It's is most appreciated. We like your blog here and your widgets, but thought the sound might be better if it came up at our option. Just a thought. We've associated with you and will remember why: Costa Rica. As we all know there's lots of activity there.

Thanks again

Tiffany, congrats! Thank you for sharing. Often I find myself wondering if I will ever get a lead from here. It is always nice to hear when some one does. If it works for you, it will work for me to.

Drew - Here, here!

Chuck - You are welcome

Jim & David - Thanks!

Gary - thanks for the feedback and the association

Stephen - To be totally honest, I didn't end up getting any business from this fellow, as he already had some real estate picked out.  But that doesn't mean it wasn't for nothing.  I'm sure this fellow will remember me and the great information I gave him in a timely manner.  Then when he has a client in the future interested in Costa Rica real estate (or investment opportunities, vacation homes, etc.), he'll think of me.  To top it off, I was able to refer business to one of my affiliates (of which I am still looking for more all over North America) to do the loan.  Now my affiliate is happy with me, and I've just helped enhance and grow his business.  Now do you think he is going to help me?  Of course!

Happy Thusday everyone!
