Why Costa Rica Real Estate?
Stable government
Values Foreign Investment
Costa Rica hosts the 4th largest foreign investment by percentage in the world. This has enabled enhanced economic performance in Costa Rica on many levels which include the real estate market and transportation. On the cutting edge of international agreements and security measures, the government of Costa Rica has been able to promote foreign investment. Bilateral Treaties with economic power houses in North America, Europe and Asia on the Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investment coupled with a long standing track record of honoring foreign investment have allowed Costa Rica to become a hot bed for large return investment. Developers, real estate investors and speculators have been rewarded with the consistant integrity of the Costa Rican government on the issue of foreign investment.
Movable and immovable property, as well as other real rights such as mortgages, securities, usufruct and similar rights are written in with all bilateral treaties of this nature. Titles are insurable, ocean front and other nature concessions are enforceable, and there are measures to help protect against squatters rights. As in the U.S., Costa Rica affords you the rights to carry out economic and commercial activities authorized by legislation or by virtue of a contract.
These factors make international investors interested in underdeveloped tropical real estate for homes, condos, golf courses or resorts ideal. Retirement and vacation home ownership is now common place. The great X factor is the peace loving and friendly Costa Rican culture. Low crime rates and high education rate are the icing on the cake for those prospecting real estate potential in the region.
