I would like to know as well Moises.  We have used Yardi that turned into Breeze (yuk) and now looking at Real Page that looks great but no cost info yet.  We love AF and surprised they don't enter that space or maybe they know their limits.

I know a couple very good agents on pacific side.  What town? We’re also looking for a property on that side. 

Also interested in your Costa Rica adventure and experiences there. We bought a STR this year and looking for other properties or land to build in southern pacific region. Lots of obstacles there I understand....but PuraVida.

Another Mike....

We just bought a home in Ojochal that we'll be able to visit and rent out mostly. We've had good luck finding some quality contractors and will use a property manager. We agree that CR is a hidden gem and can't wait to take more friends and family down to explore this beautiful diverse country with the beach views and mountain and jungle views with a head turn and abundant wildlife and everything and everyone else is great too. Can't miss for STR's. Views are everything.

So we're looking for more property, land to build, or maybe boutique hotel.  We think its a great opportunity.  Would love to look into Mexico as well and Panama.  Just dont have any experience or contacts there other than Cabo.  I think we missed the boat there.  

Get an inspection Nathan to be sure you dont miss something.  They're not perfect but you might be able to use info to renegotiate price ....or maybe terms.

The $2700 sounds too low or the price too high.  Value depends on many things.  Call the office and ask for me if you want to talk.

Community Bank, Wesbanco, Union Bank or Credit union may finance if youre a member.  Talk to Seller if you can and see if they'll carry a note, at least for the 20-30% down and you may get in with nothing down.  Never hurts to ask even if its a listed property AND even if you do have the money...save it for another deal or to improve the property.

Great to hear Nathan!  Do you have other properties/experience?

Its a challenging time to buy good value rental properties.  Most will take some work and you have to know what you're getting into cost wise so do your Due Diligence well and ask questions.

We're about to do the same thing Chester but we're selling rentals to make the Costa Rica rental property a reality.  We've made a couple trips there a nd a few contacts.  Would enjoy discussing more.

Brett, can you add to this DST "trust account", ie if I sell multiple properties in 2-4 transactions, can they be maintained in the same trust?

We're long term owners and property managers in Parkersburg and Marietta and have had good success in the MOV.  There's always opportunities around.
