OWNER FINANCING POSSIBILITIES:

In Costa Rica it is rather difficult for foreigners without legal residency or credit history in the country to obtain a bank loan.  Apart from the amount of red tape, the loan’s terms and conditions are never as good as the ones offered in the United Estates. Terms are quite shorter and interest is higher. Due to this, the Developer is willing to present the possibility of financing part of the investment.  The buyer may petition Developer for the financing of the lot.  Financing is not open for the construction phases.  Individual conditions can be negotiated as long as the following basic terms are met:

-Financing up to seventy percent (70%) of the value of the lot.

-Three year maximum term.

-12% annual interest rate

-Placement of Property Title in escrow.

Once the terms and conditions of the loan are approved, the land is placed and registered in Escrow.  Escrow will hold the Land Title until it is paid off. After payment is completed, Escrow will transfer the property into buyer’s name or corporation. This system is a safe procedure since Escrow is an impartial third party whose obligation is to follow the given instructions.  If the debt is paid in-full, the Escrow has the obligation and the power to transfer the Property Title to the buyer. If the terms and conditions are not met, then the Escrow will return the property to its original owner and disburse funds according to instructions agreed upon by both parties when the Escrow was established.
