Though Costa Rica offers a lot of benefits of living here, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind while planning to invest in property in Costa Rica. Costa Ricans tend to think that "gringos" or foreigners who are investing in property in their country have a lot of money stacked in their bank accounts. Hence, the real estate in Costa Rica is a two tiered market. The "ticos" (native Costa Ricans) quote different prices for the same property to "ticos" and "gringos". Gringos are most often quoted a higher amount. This is one important point to bear in mind while investing in property in Costa Rica.

Costa Rica property investment is lucrative; however, the person who needs to invest in property in this country must be well versed with the local laws of this country. This is needed to ensure that you can get the property completely registered against your name and get 100% ownership rights. - 23208
