Overseas Investment Property ? Why Costa Rica Continues to Attract Investors
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
Costa Rica Real Estate Expert & Former Fugitive Charles Boyd Appearing in Tampa to Educate Investors on August 12th
Costa Rica Real Estate Expert & Former Fugitive Charles Boyd Appearing in Tampa to Educate Investors on August 12th
Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) August 4, 2010
Charles Boyd returns to Tampa on August 12th to educate investors on doing business in Costa Rica, something he learned himself through a series of difficult decisions. In 1999, his options were: spend a mandatory minimum 12 years in prison, testify against his suppliers, or leave the country. Under the power of a life-controlling addiction and hunted by dangerous men, he chose to run.
“I was active in my addiction at the time and absolutely scared out of my mind,” Boyd says today. “I had armed men trying to track me down to assure that I would not testify, the law was looking for me, and I felt like there was no other way but to leave.”
By the time Interpol found him in December, 2007, Boyd had been clean for over 3 years, thanks to the first English-speaking Narcotics Anonymous group in San Jose, Costa Rica. He had also married a native, had a one-year-old son and had built a successful business helping North Americans purchase property in Costa Rica.
Then came the most difficult decision of all.
In his nearly 8 years in Costa Rica, Boyd had also found something else: a faith that called upon him to do the right thing.
“Extradition to the United States was not likely to occur because of my young Costa Rican son,” Boyd explains. “However after many visits with my sponsor and pastor, I started to see that this was not going to end unless I came back to the states and faced the music.”
But his biggest hurdle was convincing his Costa Rican wife that this was the best move for the couple and their young son.
“At first she did not want to accept it, but after a few days and a couple more visits in that immigration jail, she went to church with a friend.” Boyd explains. “Afterward she returned to tell me that she indeed understood.”
Boyd made the decision to sign the voluntary deportation papers, and although he immediately questioned the decision, he was on a plane a few days later and there was no turning back.
Facing The Music
Back in the US, Boyd faced multiple felony charges ranging all the way from “Possession of a Controlled Substance” to “Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution.” He returned to Minnesota to stand before a judge in Dakota County only to meet with a surprise.
“I was very blessed in that during the few years prior to this I had sponsored many addicts and started the NA chapter in my home town of Jaco, Costa Rica.” Boyd explains. “And although I did not ask for it, I got huge support from the community back in Costa Rica.”
Letters began to pour in. Judges responsible for sentencing Boyd read about his previous few years in Costa Rica. Letter after letter attested to the work Charles Boyd was busy doing helping other people recover from addictions. All told, more than 55 letters of support made their way to the courts.
“The judges gave me incredible consideration for the changes that I had made in my own life, and for my service in the community,” says Boyd. “And community support is an acceptable reason to consider a downward depature from the mandatory sentencing guidelines.”
Meeting The Challenge
While originally facing a guaranteed minimum 12-year sentence, Boyd found himself receiving 10 years probation (which was later dropped) and special conditions calling for him to make amends by serving 1 year in the county jail and completing the “Life Care Program” at Minnesota Teen Challenge. During his time in Teen Challenge, the 12-year sentence was suspended until he completed the requirements set forth by the judge.
Because of his extensive experience in Narcotics Anonymous and his profound faith, the 14-month extensive faith-based program for people suffering from addiction was an ideal environment for Charles to help others battling against the same demons he once faced… and to pay his debt to society simultaneously.
“I spent 6 days a week in church, conducted the choir, and traveled to churches throughout Minnesota every Sunday,” Boyd says of his experience.
Boyd was officially released from the program on October 28, 2009, five years to the day from the date he got clean.
And some of those who stood up for him when he returned to the States were waiting, including self-made billionaire and environmentalist Ed Mercer, who had been patiently courting Boyd to help promote his residential real estate development – the most well-established and respected of its kind in Costa Rica.
“Ed saw the work we were doing in the community – helping with young kids and keeping them off the streets – as well as the work I had done with my own real estate project,” says Boyd. “He became a believer in me personally and called me every Saturday for over 2 years while I dealt with things back here in the States.”
Today, Boyd is the co-founder of The Costa Rica Team, and is busy about promoting the investment and lifestyle opportunities that Costa Rica affords to American and Canadians looking to expand their portfolios and enjoy a beautiful environment. And he’s rebuilding the ministry that he founded in Costa Rica: Support Jaco Youth.
And most importantly, he’s a free man.
“It was so amazing to be reunited with my wife and son last October, but as of July, 2010, the courts have completely discharged me of all responsibility related to my charges,” says Boyd.
Now, when he travels back and forth to Costa Rica, he does so on the up-and-up… and without having to look over his shoulder in fear of Interpol and the FBI.
Boyd still gets questions from people about his past. But since the charges are over 10 years old and he’s got paperwork proving that he’s paid his debt to society, he’s happy now to tell the story. And in fact he is frequently invited to share his story of redemption to provide hope to others.
“I’m living proof that with God’s help, anyone can turn their life around,” says Boyd. “You can’t go much lower than I did – between being dominated by an all-consuming addiction and being a fugitive from the law, it doesn’t get much worse. But God has sent person after person in my life who has helped turn me around, and it continues to this day.”
Boyd appears live in Tampa on August 12th as part of the “Rescue My Future” event, a seminar focused on helping investors learn more about how to safely and securely invest in Costa Rica real estate. Rescue My Future takes place at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay at 7pm. Registration is $ 25 per person and is available by calling (800) 529-9086 or online at http://RescueMyFuture.com.
Charles Boyd (AKA “Costa Rica Charlie”) is the co-founder of The Costa Rica Team, which helps North American investors purchase real estate and conduct business in Costa Rica. Based in Sarasota, Florida, The Costa Rica Team has launched a seminar series about Costa Rica Real Estate known as Rescue My Future.

Costa Rica’s Pristine Beaches Attract Real Estate Investors
Costa Rica’s Pristine Beaches Attract Real Estate Investors
Dominical, Costa Rica (PRWEB) May 22, 2007
One visit to the diverse country of Costa Rica, with its beautiful beaches, mountains, valleys and urban cities, often leaves visitors longing to stay for a lifetime. While many dream of owning beachfront property in a tropical destination, few think they have the means to fulfill that dream. But, Paradise Brokers (http://www.paradisebrokers.net), a local real estate investment company, states that Costa Rica has a plethora of pristine beach properties, still available at affordable prices.
Several years ago, owning land in Costa Rica was not a viable investment. Although the land was desirable because of its beauty and location, it was slow to appreciate. Today, however, real estate in Costa Rica is booming. “Land that was once only $ 30,000 to purchase has increased in value to $ 750,000 over the course of 15 years,” states Nick Halverson, COO of Paradise Brokers. And, these increases happened at the start of the appreciation boom; therefore investors are currently seeing even sharper increases, making this an ideal time to invest in Costa Rica real estate (http://www.developingparadise.com).
Paradise Brokers assists buyers through every step of the land purchase process. They take potential investors to several locations, many of which are the highly prized beachfront locations. After choosing the perfect piece of land, they handle every detail of the purchase, including permits, legal work, engineering and the actual land development, which consists of the roads, water, utilities and drainage. Buying real estate in Costa Rica has never been easier.
It is very important to Paradise Brokers that people make money on their investments. Mr. Halverson says, “Typically, land has been appreciating 50% to 100% within the duration of time between the initial sale of the undeveloped land and the time utilities and roads are put in.”
After you are established in your new Costa Rica home, there is a lot to enjoy throughout the country. Costa Rica’s land is as diverse as the people who choose to call it home. Along with the coveted white sand beaches, the country boasts mountain ranges, rainforests, national parks and modern metropolitan cities. It is truly a country that has something for everyone.
Come spend some time in Costa Rica and see why everyone is so enamored with the tropical paradise. Generally, the best time to visit Costa Rica is the dry season from December through April, which locals refer to as verano (summer). Dry season does not mean there is no rain; it just rains less (so perhaps should be called the ‘drier season’). This tiny nation draws 1.5 million visitors every year. And you can see why. The incredibly varied topography means you can cruise the cloud forest one day, climb a volcano the next, and finish passed out on a hot sandy beach. But beware; once you come for a visit, you may never want to leave.

Net Lease Property Investors Increase Yield With Costa Rica Commercial Real Estate Investment Properties
(PRWEB) June 29, 2010
Costa Rica commercial real estate faired notably well during the global financial crisis, as market fundamentals remained steadily in equilibrium; with balanced reductions in both supply and demand.
Commercial real estate in the Central Valley, the nation’s primary commercial and industrial zone, never suffered the pricing pressure which plagued vacation home properties. Commercial property occupancy in San Jose, the nation’s capital, has generally remained steady, with an 8% vacancy rate. Net absorption for San Jose office space has begun trending positive over the last few months.
Commercial Costa Rica real estate development was never driven by the investor speculation, that created significant, residential property surpluses. The absence of commercial real estate financing during this period acted as a gating factor, precluding supply growth from outpacing demand.
For commercial income producing property investors, a timely consequence of the liquidity crunch is the notable spike in CAP rates (rental yield), offered by commercial properties in Costa Rica. Income producing properties such as offices, warehouses, residential buildings and retail space, have all witnessed a CAP rate spike of at least 25%, over the past two years.
According to Mr. Lanzo Luconi, President, Costa Rica Chamber of Investment Funds & Director, Investment Funds for Grupo Aldesa, “Income producing property yields, for commercial investment properties, still remain 2-4% higher than prior to the global financial crisis. Commercial real estate market liquidity remains weak but is gradually returning. The local banks have only recently begun to resume commercial real estate lending operations. As commercial real estate financing activity grows, the CAP rates available to net lease property investors will decline.”
A typical NNN lease, bank single tenant, investment property in the US yields roughly 7%. A comparable net lease property in Costa Rica currently offers a 10.5 CAP, NNN return. The tenant is Banco Nacional, the larger of Costa Rica’s two state owned banks. Banco Nacional is the largest retail bank in Central America, with $ 2.6B in assets and more than 160+ retail branches. This particular branch is located on the main traffic artery that traverses the most affluent suburban and business center in the country.
Costa Rica Commercial is the only Costa Rica real estate broker specializing in income producing investment properties, such as leased office space, warehouse facilities and retail shopping centers. Their portfolio includes commercial real estate investment properties from $ 500K to $ 25M, as well as prime commercial land parcels. They additionally offer joint venture, equity investment opportunities with leading Costa Rica commercial developers that generally produce compounded annual returns (IRR) greater than 20%, over a two to three year investment horizon.

Quality Healthcare in Costa Rica Attracts Global Investors
Quality Healthcare in Costa Rica Attracts Global Investors
Dominical, Costa Rica (PRWEB) April 5, 2007
Paradise Brokers (http://www.paradisebrokers.net) today released a report outlining the Costa Rican government’s futuristic medical health approach. The Costa Rica report highlights this fast-growing Latin American economy as the latest global focus for investors.
For Costa Rican residents, there is a socialized healthcare program with guaranteed care called CCSS, or Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (Costa Rican Social Security). The Costa Rica property map shows an abundance of easily accessible hospitals, including 29 state-run hospitals, located in major geographic regions. Major hospitals, including 16 of the state hospitals, are spread evenly throughout cities, and are just two hours from the Costa Rica beach properties.
As the leading Costa Rica real estate company, Paradise Brokers believes that the government’s initiative for innovative and systematic health care is a key factor for this rapidly emerging economy. Costa Rica land (http://www.developingparadise.com) is a sound investment for maximum returns, due to its growing tourism industry, along with the state-of-the-art health care facilities.
Costa Rican private hospitals grow alongside state-run institutions. In addition to the nearly 7,000 beds in the government hospitals, there are at least 150 private hospital beds. There are also over 500 government-run clinics throughout Costa Rica that provide basic medical care.
“Costa Rica is an international Mecca for individuals who want high-quality medical care at one-tenth of global prices. The Costa Rica properties boom is directly proportional to this phenomenal medical edge,” states Nick Halverson, COO of Paradise Brokers.
Plastic surgery in Costa Rica is a booming field, along with cosmetic dentistry, eye surgery and facelifts. Packaged as “recovery retreats”, the all-inclusive stays include surgery at renowned private hospitals, recuperation in luxury resorts with round-the-clock medical staff, brilliant views and exotic meals. Breast implants in Costa Rica cost less than $ 2,000. These services have become a reality because of Costa Rica’s ability to provide a strong social and economical infrastructure.
“Costa Rica’s commitment to healthcare advancements makes it a favorite for medical companies, as well as Costa Rica property investors,” said David Lovendahl, (http://www.developingparadise.com)
Even veterinary care in Costa Rica is outstanding compared to its global counterparts. Real estate in Costa Rica has never been a better bargain.
