Challenge: It's in a neighborhood (no HOA), and renting the entire property (sleeps 25 in total) caused problems in the neighborhood, due to noise and parties – so we only rent the separate cabins now.

The listings @Joel Oh showed weren't in the first 50 listings for my search.

If the turnkey company gives us an idea what the property is worth, our verification doesn't go back to the turn-key to question about the value, no we instead turn to third party i.e. independent re searches that verify the value - and same with all other information given to us by turnkey companies, realtors, sellers or whomever your are interreacting with."

Quote from @Zachary Kay: Hey @Sarah Larbi,I recommend checking out Second Street (can google search "Second Street Costa Rica" and you should find their site).

Is the inventory piling up or selling in the neighborhood.

My home went from a 2bed2bath to a 3bed3bath after building a 1bed1bath ADU. a 3bed3bath at 1800 ft in my neighborhood sells for 750-800.

Their first project...a neighborhood of single-family homes...yielded a steady 8% ROI in its first year.2.

Search for their names if you haven't already.

Many investors start with a multifamily property, like a duplex, as living in one unit and renting out the other can offset your mortgage and reduce vacancy concerns.Take your time running the numbers and researching neighborhoods—you're off to a great start!

If you can save up for a slightly higher down payment your margin for success will be significantly higher.Also, I strongly agree with the "buy the worst in a great neighborhood, live in the worst unit of the triplex and slowly fix it up yourself."
