When those individuals are there for over half the year, it will bring prosperity to the island.4.

  $200/month divides into the $100K initial negative equals 500 months to recover the initial negative equity.Let's double the cash flow to $400/month.  250 months to recover the initial negative equity so over 20 years.Let's reduce the negative equity position to $50K (which likely is less realistic than expecting $400/month cash flow at that rent point), you are at over 10 years to recover the initial equity position.Now let's do it with all cash, no financing.The 50% rule state $900/month cash flow.  900 * 12/200K = $5.4% or about half of lifetime return of S&P 500, or what can almost be achieved with a zero work, zero risk CD.I see no way that someone who understands the numbers will call this a good investment.Note just because an investment is better than most other investments in a market does not imply something is a good investment.

I think that's doable in the next month and half.    

Stay with properties at or below median value within 1/2 mile maximum of the subject property.  

They send me several emails a week on opportunities from Coco Beach in the north to about half hour south of Tamarindo in the south.

More than half are under property management, the rest I do on my own.

if you buy a random property 3000 miles away and have to hire out everything and overpay for everything you won't.
