Any helpful information about living in central america would be welcome. Particularly interested in rental prices and extended stays. Visas? Emmigration? I'm retired and have fixed income.

There is a lot of info available on living in various places in Central America - both books and on line: blogs, various expat sites.
I have lived and worked on various assignments in several countries in Central America: Costa Rica, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Belize - where I currently live and work part time. And I have visited other countries there.

Not knowing exactly what interests you the most, it is difficult to give you information, but you are welcome to email me - and perhaps even call me, as we are neighbors: I live in Brunswick, GA when in the USA.

Hi Charlie,
I too am on a fixed income,but you can make it here in Belize. You do need a passport to enter Belize. Rentals are from 300USD per month. If you have questions, please contact me at leerainforest@gmail.com. I will be happy to answer them.

At rainforestrealty.net you can find rentals in the CAyo area.
