HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this video, we will talk about some IMPORTANT things you need to know before buying a property in Costa Rica.
While you can type into Google, "Costa Rica Real Estate" and find some Costa Rica Real Estate websites...the truth is, YOU will only see what the Realtor or the owner wants you to see.
A good photographer will take pictures at the right angle and you will never see the things that YOU NEED to see.
You want to know, how far is this property in Costa Rica from the nearest hospital or grocery store.
Do you have bad neighbors or will you be able to enjoy the peace and quiet of living in a Costa Rica Paradise?
When you buy property in Costa Rica, you want to Retire in Costa Rica... in PEACE.
I'll show you how to find the right property in Costa Rica, what to do before moving to Costa Rica so that...when you do buy property in Costa Rica, you'll enjoy living in Costa Rica.

I am SO excited to get your feedback and hear what YOU think about this video. I really had a great time doing this video for you. Let me know if you would like me to do more videos like this one...or if you would like to learn more about how to use Google Maps. HEY...maybe I should do a "Virtual HIKE up Mount Chirripo".? Let me know if that would be interesting to YOU!
For sure... y’all’s vids are most helpful!!!
@@brynecreekmore3570 Thanks....we appreicate you!
There was a time blip. RUclips had a time for your premiere to start @1 mst. It actually started @12. Has not kept up to daylight savings time!
@@douglacoursiere2269 That was actually my fault. I had NOT kept up with the time change. Lol. So, Rebecca realized my error only 15 min before we went live.
Just a question. What do you use for communications in your area? We use WhatsApp but some are starting to use Signals? I know if you use WhatsApp on your mobile plan it does not use data. Is that the same with Signals? Do you also use Ways when you drive in CR? Google maps is not that accurate for our area.
Looks so wonderful. Would be a dream location. Great video as always
You bet....glad you enjoy it...
PURA VIDA, AMIGO, , From Fort auderdale Fla, now 👉🤗HAPPY IN NADAJULY GUANACASTE,, SINCE 1994, COMING TO C,R, GUANACASTE, HERE NOW SINCE 2017, 63yrs old now 3,14,2021, BUT WILL BE LIVING TILL PAST 100YRS OLD. HERE,
Awesome, thank you! Pura Vida...
BUYING real estate in Costa Rica is a RISKY BUSINESS. We bought a home in 2003 outside of San Ramon de Alajuela for $36,000 on a 1,000 square meter lot. After spending another $25,000 to enlarge & rehab the property, we lived there happily for 5 years.
THEN CAME THE RISKY PART: trying to SELL the property ! Ticos are notoriously CHEAP - and expect you to LOWER your price. American & other foreign buyers are few & far between. LUCKILY, we were able to find a US buyer - after a full YEAR on the market ! LESSON TO BE LEARNED: you should RENT, NOT BUY in Costa Rica !
YES....I agree. We suggest people do NOT buy until they KNOW they want to live here for the long haul. If you buy property in CR...the odds of you getting your money back when you sell is very slim. It's always best to rent until you KNOW you LOVE and want to stay in CR.
I just want to say I appreciate your channel. My husband and I are really thinking about making Costa Rica our new home by the end of next year. Thank you 🙏🏾

Be aware that Costa Rica law encourages squatters and remove all the rights of the owners. I have been fighting for my home for a year and the judicial system does not help. I also encounter that lawyers often don’t tell me the true.

Great info. Thanks.

great how2 into using google maps and land viewing in CR
Thank you
I always enjoy your videos. Sometimes a bit to much vergbage but everyone has its style
I appreciate that! It's our goal to be helpful...
Thanks for the video!
I will admit that I have already been doing much of this when I look at properties in costa rica (I try to find the property on google maps, and then I have it give me directions to the nearest places of interest like markets, hospitals, etc, and then I start reading restaurant reviews), but one thing you said that was very helpful was to use landmarks like rivers/creeks to better locate the properties. This is a very good idea! I have not used the 3D function much and I may start to do this more too. I think overall many people will find this video very useful.
As far as suggestions for future videos, I would love to see some motorcycle tours of town centers or downtown areas as these might be places that you'll spend a lot of time if you're living nearby.

lots in costa rica.. gulf views 1.3 acres 65k. golfo duce heights
There are LOTS and Fincas for sale ALL OVER COSTA RICA....many good deals everywhere. Just take time to look and you can find great deals.
No live today I see.
Not today...we really enjoy the LIVEs....but working out our Mic and Tech issues...
You must be a better driver than I am cause that terrain looks unstable with the possibility of slippage.
I visited Costa Rica almost 10 yeas back and what I noticed was that 4 wheel drive rentals were expensive while the regular two doors were cheap. Got the latter and regretted it as most roads in Costa rica are unpaved and filled with gravel. Drove at around 25 km/hr for the rest of the week to avoid damage to the car.
I would not look forward to driving in that terrain long term especially after dark.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
BTW...10 years back...you may have been correct. Now, it seems every car rental has a LOT of 4x4 vehicles and the prices are NOT too expensive. It is commonplace to rent a 4x4 now. And you are right...many places that even I would not want to drive at night. Thanks
i will be moving to costa rica solo but my daughter is taking a job there with a hugh american company dont want to live in san jose so this video helped but what about buying some things I thing I will need like a four wheeler should I buy in the states and ship or buy one in costa is the price double?????
Far `better for you to buy when you get here. Probably better to buy a 4 Wheeler in San Jose or somewhere nearby. You can buy those farther south in CR...but the selection is not good. You can buy poor quality China 4 wheelers and bikes... But better to buy quality after you get to CR. If you plan to buy and then import....that could be a nightmare.
when i check out properties there i try to ask for coordinates so i can zoom right in on the google maps...it does help a lot...
Thank you... It's our goal to be helpful...
Will Be in Costa Rica When this airs. So not sure we will be hooked up to internet as we fly in late Saturday night 20th and will be staying in the José por el parque de la paz urbanización la arboleda area ! For 4 days before we move to san ISIDRO for a month. Then who knows from there ;)
This video Premiers TODAY, so maybe you saw the date backwards. It goes LIVE on March 14...but I know sometimes other places the date can look like March 21 .... Join us today if you can. By the way....so EXCITING that you guys will be in CR SOON.....YEAH.
Yes, a way to layer on the altitude is a critical missing piece. Also missing are layering on maps showing precipitation, days of sun vs overcast days. I'd love to limit my searches to a certain altitude!
That would be neat if Google EArth could do this...however, since this is free, I don't know if they would do this? But great idea right....
Awsomr
Thank you this was very informative. My wife would like to know why you want water on your property like a stream?
In Costa Rica...nearly everywhere we've lived...the water system often goes on and off and sometimes for long periods at a time. And while it is easy to solve that issue, like many in Costa Rica by installing a reserve tank...
For me, I like having my own water. I'm a bit of a clean nut and want to know that my water is NOT contaminated with chemicals. My end goal is to be self sufficient so I don't have to rely on any outside source to enjoy life. I think water is the MOST important thing and as long as we have water.....we can survive anything.
Can you recommend some real estate websites? I am from Switzerland and do not find real helpful ones... Great video! Thanks 🙏

Don't buy property because you can not move it.
That's interesting....do you know ANY PLACE where you can buy property and MOVE IT???
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica Yes. Many places you can buy a rock quarry and sell the property off buy the ton.
We are thinking about buying land and moving there in the next year or two hopefully. We just subscribed too.
We’d be interested in at least 80 acres closer to a main city and above sea level 50-100’
Thank you! Welcome to the Channel... Always best to rent before you buy so you learn the area.

Also....if you come and rent....talk to all the locals...you will get a MUCH better deal. Everything is for sale and you can find some great deals and much better prices than if you try to use a realtor.
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica thank you so much for the information. Hopefully we will meet one day Take care
Where are the best places to find the farms for sale? I think you need to look up multiple real estate offices and drive the areas. But
You can find farms or big pieces of property ALL OVER COSTA RICA. Go into our forum....I have a list of realtors and website links you can get for FREE.
Go here: createdforsuccess.com/real-estate-links
Going to take the family wife and 4 kids for months. We want to find out if it will work can you help? I've watch a few of your videos and like what you say
I am sure we can help you...depends on what kind of help you are looking for???

Dang...YT told me to come here at 12:00 p.m. PST
Sorry...the time changed messed me up....in CR they don't change the time...which I LOVE...but trying to remember that we are 2 PM EST makes it easier for people to follow us. So, Rebecca remembered a few minutes before we went live and I had to change the time so it would go live at 2 PM EST. But...hope you enjoy the replay.
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica no worries, loved the video!
@@kellym3113 So Glad you enjoyed it.
Lmao Google earth is a wonderful thing
Glad it was helpful! PLEASE share with all your friends.
I'm confident this will be deleted, but this channel comes off very disingenuous as someone who has been here in country for a while.
First off: nobody dresses like that in the coast... second, he clearly comes off like a used car salesman with his delivery. This place is beautiful... and yes you should seek help before buying land or moving here.....
... but that research should be done in person not over the internet and certainly not via someone wearing jeans and button down shirts in a Costa Rican costal town.
desperate for attention right?
maybe you can open your own youtube channel and do it better? we will wait
as always amazing work by allan and rebeca
@@andreshernandez6053 how am I desperate for attention? I don't hustle for clicks. I don't have a channel. I'm someone who found this channel from inside Costa Rica and I'm disappointed in the professionalism, and the obvious non-costa Rican attire/vibe. Nobody dresses like that near the coast. 😂
But feel free to attack me.... I'm here. If you're attacking me for pointing that out then you clearly are not.
It's obvious when Gringos are here to make money, and when they're trying to help locals. These guys are selling something. That's okay, just be honest about it.
@@mattsavard your criticisms are destructive, that´s the point
what is relevant about the presenter´s way of dressing?
the highlight of the channel is the useful information that we see, the clothes are irrelevant
still wondering why are you desperate for attention?
Thanks Andres...it tough dealing with Trolls...but we know we have to deal with them...they are all over the internet. They don't have anything better to do with their life.
"That Guy" for your information, we live in the mountains. That is where I filmed that video and it can get chilly here. I dressed up nice, filmed this video, and then took my wife out to a nice place to eat.
On this channel, we're very helpful. We don't have anything to sell and we were NOT promoting that property. I used that property as an example and was teaching others how they can EASILY do research without having to go to Costa Rica.
We were NOT suggesting doing all the research or buying a property without going to Costa Rica. This is a way to weed out properties before wasting too much time on one that does not fit your lifestyle.
We value other people, respect their opinions, and are open to suggestions. However, we believe in being nice and respectful. If you can NOT be the same, please go troll somewhere else.
