How much time would it take you to re-coop that cost purely through the rent alone?

This appears to be more of investing in pure speculation of an unproven business model. 

Like Martin mentioned, I can buy my own property in other foreign countries  and make significantly higher returns (which, incidentally, is what I've been doing).So with the same amount of money that I could invest in a shared villa, I do more profitable investments, make more money and then buy my own property in Costa Rica with the extra money I'll have made and it can be a pure lifestyle purchase.This being said, if you put together a group of like-minded people who can put some money aside, decide to purchase a property together, don't really care about the return and love Costa Rica (otherwise you could do the same somewhere else), I agree that what you do can be a lot of fun!

As a pure investment, I don't love condos (my first investment was a condo).

The sales position is purely commission-based and 1099-related so I have to pay for all of my expenses that otherwise a W2 employee would get which also unfortunately STINKS. 

Luckily I was able to catch a couple on pure accident.

I’m looking at a simple point-in-time matrix based purely on cash flow return.
