Yes & No -Technically you can get a mortgage but as a foreign investor it is quite difficult and usually has high interest rates of 8-12% or more. The easiest way to buy a property in Costa Rica is with CASH you can do this with your savings, a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) or Refinance your home or investment property or sell some other investments.

These are elected every 4 years.
Weather
Costa Rica is classified as a tropical country with no true winter season due to its proximity to the equator. It is more or less divided into two seasons, a dry season, often referred to as high season (December to April), and a rainy season, often referred to as green season (May -November). However rainy season is not as bad as it sounds, it generally rains late afternoon / evening and is sunny and nice each morning.

What Does It Cost To Own A Home In Costa Rica.
MUCH LESS than in Canada!!! The prices of homes vary depending on a few things it's style (apartment to detached home) Location -the closer to the ocean you get the more pricy you get. Condition & Sizing is also a factor so I will use my own home as an example.
​
Purchase Price: $450,000.00
Property Taxes: $66/m -$800 / Year (0.25% Municipal Property Tax)
Electricity: <$50 not rented or approx. $200/m when rented.
Heat : $0.00/m

Internet: $80/m - $960/y 40MBPS
Condo Fee: $222/m (based on property size)
Cleaner: $50 per session min once a month.
TOTAL MONTHLY HOLDING COSTS: $472.00 /month
If the average rental rate is $200/ night then you would need to rent out your villa 28.3 nights to break even on your approximate annual holding expenses.
​
*NOTE: This is an example expense over view which will vary based on villa size & usage. May not apply to your rental.

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.”
