Jon, if you care about equity and not cashflow, you're in the right market.

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!

That's one of the benefits w/ Carrot is we can help you cut that learning curve and make it easier and faster for you. 

Then paired with the last point-- it's an affordability issue.I think asset prices dip a few after the first rate cut.
