They are a new international lender in Costa Rica offering 30 year, fixed rate mortgage loans specifically for American investors.

OpportunitiesAffordability: Compared to many West Coast markets, Albuquerque properties often come at a more affordable price point, making it possible for investors to get started without a massive initial capital.Rental Demand: Due to the presence of UNM and other educational institutions, there's a consistent demand for rental properties, especially those close to campuses.Cultural Appeal: With its rich Native American and Hispanic heritage, Albuquerque offers cultural festivals, markets, and historical sites.
