I’ve been talking alot about Costa Rica’s involvement with bio fuels.  Well, if you look at my other website www.biofueldynamics.com you’ll get a good idea of what we are doing with the government of Costa Rica.  They are having some massive problems in the way of sewage waste.

The beauty of the process is that we capture everything that goes into a city’s sewage treatment plant, including all the toxic gases, and convert them into many forms of reusable bio fuels and resources.   For example; solid mass is converted to both bio-diesel and fertilizer, methane gases are captured and used to power a generator for electricity and remaining mass is converted to reusable lubricants.  After our system has completed all the conversions, the only thing that is released from the facility is clean water.

What do we do with all these products?  We sell them on the open market, sharing the profit with the city, thus creating a revenue stream while at the same time absorbing their operating costs for the treatment plant.  Oh and by the way, the facility is built for free using federal bonds.

So to put it mildly, their profits really are in the toilet!

Thanks for your interest and keep me in mind if you have any referrals to city officials injust about any country.

Best regards,

One of the beautiful residents

Assumption kills the deal. In my dealings in investing in foreign countries, assuming that something is included with a property usually will end in disappointment.

Things to consider:

• Public or private roads?
• Electricity?
• Water?
• Is the land clearable? (Many trees cannot be cut down)
• How does the region change from season to season?
• Does the seller own the property? Can they prove it?
• If a development, will there be annual dues?

Absolutely not! There are still tons of great properties available. The trick is determining what you are looking for first. In other words; just flying down with the intention of window shopping for property will drive you crazy. I recommend making a list of what you want in a property, for example;

Do I want an ocean or mountain view?

How big of property do I want? ¼ acre? ½ acre? 1 acre?

What is my budget?

What is my intention for this investment? Vacation home? Permanent residence? Rental property?

Accessibility? Are there roads to the property? Are they private or public? Don’t assume.

Is there infrastructure in the area? Water? Electricity? Phone? Internet?

The first thing I look for in a developer is a long term track record in the area. Many, many developers come into Costa Rica from another country, buy some land, develop it, sell it and then move on.  Never to be heard from again.

Generally they will have a record of doing this which can easily be found out with a bit of due diligence.  Look for phrases something like; World wide developer, International developer or look at our previous developments.

As far as real estate brokers, definitely go with a well known name and stay away from free agents who work for themselves.  They don’t have anyone looking over their shoulder, while larger firms at least have general guidelines for their agents.

Personally, I like dealing with developers directly.  They are easier to deal with and there are fewer levels of approvals to go through.  In other words; they’re more willing to wheel and deal with you because there are no commissioned agents in the middle.
