Appreciate the feedback, checked out your post and yeah I've had similar with roommates in the past.

I have actually changed directions with my investing since I posted that a year ago.

If anyone in the forum is interested, send me  DM, I'd post it here just not sure if BP will allow it.I visited and like everyone felt in love with the country.

I agree w/the previous posts.

The latter part of my post was referring to the protection of the account, not the assets through funding but the cash left on-hand.I think because banks are or were typically used for ck, savings, etc, I never looked to them as offering IRA/SDIRA.When I opened my account (2018) it was with specifics in mind and now I am reevaluating.

Maybe you saw this from the Tico Times already, but it lays out mostly depressing details on getting a mortgage in Costa Rica: http://www.ticotimes.net/realestate/25-mortgage-ti...Please post back here if you find anything!

At a minimum,  you should understand what the current zoning is and what restrictions there are.As the post above mentioned reaching out or going in person to speak with the planning and zoning department will be very helpful. 

@Jared FisherRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Or if you’d be swamped by forum posts saying developer.
