A quick Internet search of "Costa Rica Mortgage Loans" turned up a couple of brokers and private equity offerings.You could also try to get the seller to finance part of the purchase price.Or borrow it from your 401K, if you have one.Depending on your credit score, it might also be worth looking at rates from a local credit union, bank, or even Prosper or Lending Club for a personal loan rather than a real-estate secured loan.

It's better than what you'll get from most attorneys and what you'll find on the internet.

One thing I would add is to include the actual speed of the internet you provide.

I’ve left two messages with her broker, and tried to email from emails I find on the internet but they are coming back undeliverable.

NEVER send up front money to any lender that you met on the internet.. the only money you should pay for is a 3rd party appraisal and your check should go straight to the appraiser. 

I would rather have Remax manage my property and concentrate my energy on finding my next deal.
