Costa Rica is expensive and it generally doesn't work from a pure investment point of view, unless you're not very demanding from an ROI point of view.

You have a lot of quality renters there because of the fact that there's a large demand to be close to downtown. 

Little supply, high demand ... voila, high prices. 

BUT...the tenant has some weird expensive demand every year.

There will always be demand for entry level homes particularly if tied to a little bit of real estate. 

Low inventory and pent up demand are keeping prices higher (and still rising), even in a higher than previous (but historically average) interest rate environment. 

Being successful in real estate investing is no easy thing – it's not just about mastering facts; it demands a toll on physical, emotional, and philosophical levels.

Forget the $300 they lost that when they demanded $1000 and I would tell them that.

I finally received a demand letter from a "nonprofit attorney" representing the tenant, claiming that the tenant was living in uninhabitable conditions—typical for a non-paying tenant, I guess—and now she wants to "renegotiate" the rent and keep living in the same space.She has been filing complaints with various government departments, but all the cases were minor and have been closed.

The location and high rent demands keep investor buyers interested in the market.
