Costa Rica continues to be popular with overseas property investors due to 4 specific reasons that give it a huge edge over its rivals, for investment property or second homes.

Let’s look at these reasons in more detail.

1. Capital growth potential

It’s an established market yet ever increasing numbers of buyers mean that it still produces great gains with low risk.

Let’s look at an example.

A property bought near the popular resort of Jaco just 15 years ago for $30,000, is worth almost $800,000 today and savvy investors are still making 30 — 100% capital gains per annum.

This stunning growth is still available because, popular resorts and infrastructure are expanding.

By buying near these new developments you can take advantage of price increases as the developments are completed.

Keep in mind, that beach front property is still available at up to 70% less than in the USA and Costa Rica is just a few hours by direct flight from the southern USA.

So its literally like moves states in terms of distance.

As with any overseas property investment location is the key and looking out for future property hot spots can yield big gains with low downside risk.

2. Affordable Living
