Owning land in Costa Rica

[Lisa Dreher]

Hi BP community! My partner and I have been given the opportunity to purchase some land (around 1 acre) in southern Costa Rica about 8km from the airport. We’ve always wanted to go there and have many friends and family who have traveled to CR and loved it, but have never gone ourselves. We’d travel there (at some point when Covid isn’t so damn scary) first before deciding. But for now are doing preliminary research and wanted to reach out to see if anyone here owns land/property in CR, has any insight into things we should be particularly cautious about, or just general advice on making such an investment?!?

Thank you all!
