Ecuador is a beautiful country with beautiful people. It's true to say that it's not expensive either. However, as someone who has lived in Ecuador in the past there are other things that are not so positive. Security and services for example. In my three years there I was mugged twice and an armed intruder entered my house. The mountains around Cuenca are beautiful but I personally would fear for my safety living there - especially as a "gringo". Services also can be slow and cumbersome. Apologies, just my experience!

Poor architect I can tell he had a bad time dealing with this people. A bunch of condescending comments, I have been an architect for years in Cuenca and you get what you pay for. Good architects do charge for the design. We have a lot of high end homes and heating floor systems can be easily found in Cuenca and Guayaquil too. Some people just want to treat our country as a wild third world country, well it is not.

Building a small home in the coastal areas has to be costly....Figuring a per sqft cost for a 1.5 bath home with a high ceiling or even a loft would be a difficult task from out of the country. I have an idea for a compound system featuring 400sqft casitas but each site would require 800 sqft. and not knowing the sanitation and water supply problems as well as power would probably require an in-town property location.

There are some buyers since many foreigners are moving to the area. I agree that a mountain property like this one would likely not move quickly. I have friends that have done well flipping property near the beach but I wouldn't recommend anyone to invest in a foreign country without spending time there first. Personally, I rent out my place in the states and rent as I travel. This allows me to live in many different places which is great for me. If I were a young man, I would jump at the opportunity to invest in a beach area in Ecuador.

Phoenix Chastaine Agree. Well, we should understand this type of presentation is profit oriented because they are in the business of this kind. My concern is what if my kids are not moving out there in Ecuador then who will take care of this house. I don’t think it is that easy to sell them and return back to the US. Healthcare can be an issue too but I think Ecuadorian doctors can easily manage the more usual types of illness like diabetes, heart , etc. Probably the issue can be how much do we need to pay for a decent private health insurance and how affordable it can be given the time we need it? Unlike in the US healthcare co-pays are killing us and also the cost of medical insurance.
