We are renting from him for $100/month while we finish probate.

However, in private financing it is customary for the borrower to foot those costs.You can find each institution's registered account and arm's-length mortgage guidelines, and fees on their respective websites.

Let us know how it goes.I provide my screening criteria on my website, and I encourage applicants to screen themselves before applying so they don't waste my time, their time, or their money.

Hi Scott, I would go with the Inground pool with a finished area around it.

Most people who buy in Costa Rica do it for lifestyle and they might rent (or not) to cover the cost and maybe make a little profit.Unless mentioned otherwise, when responding on that topic I know or I have assumed that people are potentially interested in an investment property, not a lifestyle property because this is an "investment" website and people talk about STR.

But don’t worry, you’ll work with your agent ahead of time to agree on what this is, so you won’t be surprised at the finish line.3.

No.But you do see their website online, right?

Check out the state of Illinois website. 

When finished, I re-financed and paid back all my friends and family + interest in 10 months!

So, he still does not have the money to finish the property you invested your money in.
