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).

No complaints at all.MathewHi Mathew - just checking how was your experience with them ?

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

It can be a separate checking or savings but just make sure to have a "holding" account where only security deposits are held for your sanity.I won't speak to liability since I'm not a property manager, attorney, etc. 

HI Anne, check out this gentleman: Dennis P.

Agents are also advising you to look for expensive mistakes (like checking the sewer which could cost 5-40k) and using their network and contacts to find homes off market or FSBO.  

I would check on this website on the find an agent feature or search Zillow for teams/agents in your area doing 25 or more deals a year.  

One of them told me they only have to provide 15 days notice, which doesn’t help if I am on vacation for a few weeks or haven’t checked my PO Box in a few weeks.
