This Post is the first step in this project idea for us.

Depends, if you made 5k on a 50k  and 1 month project, it ain't bad.

I'm currently in the process of getting more bids but if they are in the same ball park it looks like I may lose money on the project. 

These days I checked several threats in this nice Bigger Pockets forum and found several people have already asked about investments in Costa Rica.I know how real estate investing is done in the U.S. and I also know, that you can't use the same approaches and strategies 1:1 for Costa Rica (some strategies just don't work here).In Costa Rica I am specialized in high-yield investment deals (8%+) in the San José area and also in high-end luxury properties with great ocean views and good rental income potential in luxury tourism.One of my projects right now is providing a larger investor client/partner of mine with 8%+ yield p.a. real estate investment deals (in the 200k asking price area per unit) in great neighborhoods in growth zones in and around San José.

I was never able to find enough reliable workers at an affordable price to have more than a couple of projects going at once.

We want the properties generating cash flow from the start, therefore not interesting in gut renovation projects at this moment.

It would be cool to meet up and discuss projects if you have some time. 

Craig and Mindy have really been a big part of helping bring the forms into existence and coordinating the project.

I have done a lot of research and would like to hear some more opinions on what the best type of loan I should get on my first little project.

I guess my questions to you all here is how easy (or difficult) is it to get funding for flipping projects starting out with no experience?
