Buying property in paradise sounds simple, right? Find the perfect ocean view, make an offer, and start living the dream!
Not so fast!
Every year, foreign buyers make costly mistakes that could have been avoided with the right guidance.
HERE ARE 5 MISTAKES YOU DON’T WANT TO MAKE!
1. Not Hiring an Independent Attorney
Have your own qualified Costa Rican attorney verify ownership, liens, boundaries, and legal documentation.
2. Assuming Every Property Has Clear Title
Especially near the beach! Understand the difference between titled property and maritime-zone concessions.
3. Underestimating the True Costs
Closing fees, transfer taxes, property taxes, HOA fees, and maintenance can add up quickly.
4. Skipping Proper Due Diligence
Legal access, water availability, zoning, surveys, and building permits are critical. Never assume everything is in order!
5. Buying Without Understanding the Local Market
A million-dollar view doesn’t always mean a million-dollar investment. Location, resale potential, and market conditions matter!
DON’T LET YOUR COSTA RICA DREAM BECOME A COSTLY LESSON!
