Attend the local and regional Real Estate meetups.

I am looking at purchasing a vacation rental in Costa Rica and I have a couple of questions in regards to that.  

I forget which one I bought for my rental a couple of years ago.  

I have a couple of people that this has happened to, and you need to have it in writing and tied to the property to make it work. 

I reached out to my investment advisor who pointed me to a couple books that opened my mind to the other possibilities.

But yo have to pay your dues first by connecting, attending and networking.My 2 cents,Mike

Plan is to purchase a couple homes over the next year.

Assuming you could take out a couple 100k you would have the buying power to start a cash recycling business (brrring or flipping).

The city also confirms if the utilities have capacity which they do.Its a simple case of NIMBYs having a huge voice in this jurisdiction. you are doing everything right. just file a couple lawsuits get a good lawyer and keep going. 

A couple thoughts on your question:I tell our STR investors in Colorado that their main goal should be to set up the right way right out of the gate.
