I almost posted a couple of days ago that BOIR was back in play - glad I held off!

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!

Hey Brody,I just came across this post.

A very encouraging post!

On the repairs - I re-read your original post, and you did seem to mention that you have a property manager - is that accurate? 

@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.

I responded to an online job posting for a Marketing Assistant.

You'll see posts from wholesalers and agents with pocket listings so just reach out to them and try to get on their buyer's list so they send you future listings.

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.
