This is because Costa Rica doesn't have a sizeable middle class. If

.- Anyone run a vacation rental, pay the GET/TAT taxes under a residential property tax classification? 

@Elenis CamargoYes, our property managers will send our judgements to collectors but the chances of getting paid is very, very slim; especially in C class and forget about it in D class. If

@Nicholas Weckstein Just curious, but for what purpose do you/other investors use the classifications for?

@Jon Kelly not disagreeing with the decision you took, but the tax benefits of real estate are phased out if you have a high W2 income and can not meet the “active” real estate classification requirements.  

In the past there have been limits on this likes "Super Conforming" loans and staying under that amount (or under a "Jumbo" classification) can get you a lower interest rate. 

I live in Truckee (the far east bay) and would like to connect with others interested in this asset class. If

A-Z can be whatever you want it to be in residential SFR and neighborhood classification, because it's all made up!

I would not pass that by just because it is C class if it is a good deal on a solidly built rental.

You can only build 80% lot coverage on most zoning classifications for a corner property, so how big is the parcel?
