Searching for land to purchase

Sara Evans (70.59.24.235) -

I've recently started searching for residential land in Costa Rica. Preferably near Jaco or Puntarenas. Can anyone suggest the best way to do this research on-line? I've only found two websites that list raw land, buysafecostarica.com and bluewhiteproperties.com. I would prefer to have several other sources or some type of personal recommendation. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sara E.

Get on an airplane! The price of the tickets will be nothing compared to your savings.

The higher priced, more promoted properties will make it online. The best deals will be because someone knows someone is selling the property, or a dirty old sign by the side of the road.

You'll always want to find a trusted Costa Rican to use for all contact with the seller. It is important that the seller has no idea an American is looking to buy their property.

All of that aside, you *really* want to see the property, what's around it, whether there is actually electric and phone service to the property (if that is important to you, as getting those services could take a year or years).

If you're planning to live n Costa Rica, its better to choose properties that are near the beach.

Or if you want you can opt to live it
