Costa Rica Real Estate

Over the past couple of months, my husband and I have been investigating flipping houses in other areas. We feel that this might be to our advantage and have been giving it some serious thoughts. Actually, we have been looking at some Costa Rica Real Estate. It seems property there is inexpensive and the market in Costa Rica is doing great. If you think about it, then what would be better than purchasing some vacation property and flipping it to make money from every time you rent it out? Or even better, buy a house to flip and then sell it to retirees that are always moving to this area. We realize there are going to be lots of research on codes and rules for flipping a house in another location, and a lawyer will do all of the title search work for us, but this would be a property we could benefit from for years to come.

The first thing we started looking for was Homes for sale in Costa Rica. Before you go any further, you want to find out what is available, and if there are any good deals worth your time. We had a good feeling about this idea and were not surprised when we ran across property for sale in Guanacaste. We found several properties for under $100,000! Can you believe that? For that kind of price, we would probably purchase it, flip it and then keep it for rental. That way, we would visit the area ourselves whenever we wanted to take a vacation or get away from the cold winter weather. Now the decision comes down to what we want to buy. A condo or a house? Either way, this seems to be a deal of a lifetime!

House is ready for the market!!

We purchased another house back in August and didn't actually get started on it until September. My husband has it ready to be listed now. It was a small house with only two bedrooms and one bath. We purchased it for $17,000 and we are going to list it for only $54,000! I have some before pictures, and I am in the process of getting some after shots. I will try my best to get this posted today or tomorrow. So keep a look out for it because it was a major transformation on this cute little house.

House has contract!!!

We have a contract now on this house. Keep your fingers crossed it will all go through. Hopefully it will be closing in about two weeks. This house was the only one we had on the market for this long. I believe it has been approximately 3 months, so that is still not bad with the way the economy is right now. I'll let you know if something happens and it doesn't sell.

Flipping Adventures

My husband and I decided a while ago to start a new adventure in real estate. We purchase houses needing attention and give them a major makeover. Once they have been flipped, we sell them. It has been a profitable business up to this point. This blog is about our experience and things we have learned along the way. We will also include any houses we currently have for sale that have already been flipped. If you have a home to sale and it needs to be flipped, then your more than welcome to contact us and we will list it on our blog under the "Houses Needing Flipped" tab. Just send us your details on the property and one nice picture. Give us the location, the selling price and your contact information.
