Is All The Good Land Gone?

Absolutely not!  There are still tons of great properties available.

The trick is determining what you are looking for first.  In other words; just flying down with the intention of window shopping for property will drive you crazy. 

I recommend making a list of what you want in a property, and understanding what is an absolute “MUST HAVE” and what are “WOULD BE NICES”

To help make your list, consider, for example;

• Do I want an ocean or mountain view?
• How big of property do I want?  ¼ acre? ½ acre? 1 acre?
• What is my budget?
• What is my intention for this investment?  Vacation home?  Permanent residence?  Rental property?
• Accessibility? Are there roads to the property?  Are they private or public?  Don’t assume.
• Is there infrastructure in the area?  Water? Electricity?  Phone?  Internet?

Why Costa Rica As An Investment?

About 12 years ago, Costa Rican real estate was the hottest market in the planet. 

During that time, the neighboring countries kinda looked over the fence to see what all the fuss was about. 

Realizing that this was a pretty good idea, they decided to get in on the action and started selling properties in their areas as well.    

Since then, over the last 8 years, Costa Rican properties have continued to appreciate on an average of 20-30% annually. This has always made property in the country a good investment for international investors.
