I never argued or got upset until the physical threats started; I just kept to the facts and the policy.

With constant hurricane threats, it must take a hit to HOA assessments and and fees.

And because they buy "pretty houses" like me, they're a real threat.

These days I checked several threats in this nice Bigger Pockets forum and found several people have already asked about investments in Costa Rica.I know how real estate investing is done in the U.S. and I also know, that you can't use the same approaches and strategies 1:1 for Costa Rica (some strategies just don't work here).In Costa Rica I am specialized in high-yield investment deals (8%+) in the San José area and also in high-end luxury properties with great ocean views and good rental income potential in luxury tourism.One of my projects right now is providing a larger investor client/partner of mine with 8%+ yield p.a. real estate investment deals (in the 200k asking price area per unit) in great neighborhoods in growth zones in and around San José.

It is shocking how many landlords unnecessarily hand out money, when they could easily use threat of eviction to get them out.

If I were in your shoes, I'd probably have a frank and friendly with the tenant and talk a big, threat free game, but point out that her lease does not allow for animals and that she did not disclose the animal to you.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "claim" but you should simply notify your insurance company that there has been a complaint and a threat.

We tried to sell, but we would have taken a +$40k haircut….so I rented to my brother for 2 years (with the threat I’d kill him if even a scratch happened) and waited out the market, selling at break-even back in 2014.Many.

It is likely and empty threat but not a tenant I would allow to move in.

I disagree as to me they are both needed, but I understand that for some it may not be necessary due to their threat level.Also using entities will create additional costs (creation, maintenance fee) and additional administrative burden to keep its protection veil intact (multiple bank accounts, paperwork trail, tax reporting).
