American investing in Costa Rica. Advice please
Hello, I'm about to embark on a real estate project in Costa Rica and I believe in educating oneself before doing anything, especially since I'm not an expert by any means in this field. So I was wondering if you knew of any articles and write-ups/blogs, any person to follow on YouTube or social media to learn from. Or if you have any tips already or things to stay away from in Costa Rica please share them with me. Any hurdles or challenges for an American investing in Costa Rica? Thank you so much in advance.

Joanna Hidalgo is a broker who invests and manages short term rentals in Costa Rica. She has been very generous with her time in my professional circle. BP won't let me share her e-mail address, but I will PM you. I don't see her on BP, but you can also find her pretty easily on FB.
