I think you're absolutely right that I should speak with a CPA about the matter to get the authoritative answer.Quote from @Bob P.: Quote from @Felicia West: Hi there!  

So, if your investors absolutely want to invest in Costa Rica and maybe be able to tell others that they're (part-)owner in a beautiful Costa Rican property, it might make sense for them to invest alongside you.However, as an investor, all that matters to me are figures and there and I don't have to own properties in Costa Rica.

Absolutely.

Hey @Scott Bogue,That sounds like an absolute nightmare, but unfortunately, you’re not the first to experience contractor issues like this.

Absolutely start with your bank. 

That is what we see alot of times, and not record the CFD (or sometimes they do), if I was buying it I would absolutely want the CFD recorded - but technically that is the owner giving up interest in the property and could trigger DOS so unrecorded is another way, but honestly not recommended. 

Done wrong absolutely a waste of money.  

Absolutely, check dm. 

I don't mean anything against the sterling members of this site, but I absolutely wouldn't build my business around any "loopholes" in the law offered by someone on the internet whose credentials I don't know and who risks nothing by saying whatever they want about legal issues.

Absolutely!
