While I have none in this market I have been on one realtors monthly newsletter with market analysis for over 8 years. 

If your goals are long-term - this market will offer a ton of appreciation and steady renter demand.

I do have an agent but I'm just looking to learn more about the market on here.

I would add that SFH airbnb market here is saturated BUT I believe there is still a robust market for larger homes for family gatherings and events.

Quote from @Marc Zak: In the market where I live (San Diego), appreciation has been strong and many predict it will continue to appreciate in the long term.However, with current interest rates (6% at best) and property tax (2%), the annual cost burden is 8%.Am I correct in saying that appreciation has to be above 8% annually (plus whatever my maintenance and vacancy costs are) for me to make any money in this scenario if the property is cash flow neutral?

If so, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts and experiences regarding the local market, investment opportunities, and overall outlook for the area

Hey All, I'll be traveling to Costa Rica for a wedding  and wanted to explore the market while I'm visiting.

Here’s how the ATI Exemption would be calculated:ATI Market Value (purchase price): $1,000,000Previous taxable value: $700,00025% reduction (ATI Exemption): $750,000New taxable value: $750,000Without the exemption, your property would likely be taxed at the full $1,000,000 value.

Agent and leasing experience can help with negotiation skills, market knowledge, and tenant screening.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have about analyzing markets or getting started.
