Hy Tyler, this was a great post and very accurate with what I see in the market as well. Can you share the list of B neighborhoods that you recommend? Thank again

Hi, I am starting with a Short Term Rent in a Single Family in Marco Island and would love to hear recommendations of great professional property managers around.

Thanks

Hi Rob,

I have not conducted the needs assessment in a thorough way, at this stage I am just interviewing especialists to define the scope of that analysis. I know it is quite important but I haven't actually seen one so I don't really know what should the content be, if you can point me towards a reference that would be great. 

There is an important development of the Government nearby that will generate a good amount of employment, I am pretty confident the gross concept would no vary much from the first sketch I mentioned before, we'll see.

I know hoy slow things are down here, my firm has developed several hydro power plants, which require all the permits you can imagine. Doing this building looks rather simple in comparison. I know people in the institutions and I know well the procedures.

Hi Ruth,

I have been only once in San Juan del Sur, can't say I know the area well. The place is nice, typical small beach town with big houses around up on the hills. Food is cheap. I don't know the tax code or the price of services. I would say the market is mainly based on shot terms rent. 

Hi guys, currently I am working full time on developing a mixed (commercial and residential) building located on a nice property down-town in San José, Costa Rica that I owned. I plan to sell some units and rent the rest (about 50-50).

I have designed several projects for clients but never something like this, newbie here. 

Right now I am on an early stage of defining the Concept or Basic Design, I have no problem at all with the arquitectural and engineering side of the Design but I have absolutely no clue about how to define the number of rooms, size of each unit, final user market sector and related subjects, so I would love to hear from a savvy developer about some general rules of thumb and methods to approach this issue. 

I know there is nothing worse than a general question but at this point I am really interested in just listening to your advice and general guidance, or reference to a nice web site or book about it. I will get more specific in time, you´ll see...

Thanks in advance.

I am civil engineer, owner of a local engineering and construction company investing in Energy and Real Estate in general. Focused mainly in Buy and Hold, Residential, Multifamily.  Buying also land to build myself. Only investing in San José area.
