Political Risks in Nicaragua when Buying Real Estate

There are so many problems that come up when you own Property in Nicaragua.  Since the eighties, the Sandinista party has always illegally confiscated land from its true owners; especially on the beaches of Nicaragua.  However this only happens to local owners.  If you are a native Nicaraguan and own this land, you run the risk that they will take it away.  But if you area a foreign investor it never happens, because you buy property insurance backed by a United States company and these people who confiscate land do not want to get entangled in problems with a United States insurance company.
