$2 million investment (purchase + renovation) turned into a $3.3 million portfolio — in under a year
I wanted to buy a vacation rental in Costa Rica that could also appreciate over time. Costa Rica Investments helped me find a colonial-style home in Uvita for $1.7M with incredible Whale Tail views.
They managed everything — from the search to the full renovation, which cost another $300K. They even subdivided the property into two ocean-view lots. One now holds a modern villa worth $2.3M, and the other is a $1M undeveloped lot.
In 12 months, my $2M investment turned into a $3.3M asset. I rent the home out and use it when I visit. They handled the entire process while I stayed home — it was seamless.
A Dream Home in Costa Rica Made Possible
Simply put, my home in Costa Rica would not have happened without Richard, Erick, and the rest of the team. For me to accomplish the goal of a home in Costa Rica was no small task. I don’t speak Spanish and had never invested in a foreign country before – sounds daunting, right? I thought so too. But from day 1, Richard and Erick educated me, guiding me through the rigorous process of building a home in CR. As a business owner myself, I fully admire their approach. They have strong relationships countrywide, but they still question everything and always hold individuals accountable. There were many occasions where Erick stepped in and corrected a colossal mistake before it occurred, saving me time, stress, and money. I fully encourage those who are on the fence about reaching out, make the call. If I didn’t, I would still be in planning phase, now I’m sitting in a newly finished home in CR – all thanks to them! You will not regret it.
Outstanding Team
Richard and Team were absolutely outstanding. Extremely knowledgeable. I just could not imagine making an investment in CR without their services.
