Mortgages in Costa Rica

A lot of people are sending us e-mail asking us about mortgages in Costa Rica. Well — seeing as we’re no financial experts we don’t feel comfortable forwarding you to banks etc in the area, but we can tell you from personal experience that it’s not that hard getting reasonable mortgage rates in Costa Rica if you 1) speak the language and 2) get a bank account with the company you’re getting the mortgage from at the same time…

The banks like foreigners with foreign currencies in their portfolio — so make sure to discuss special rates for US$ or € mortgages!

More on mortgages on the mortgage site, one of the few decent independent sources for mortgage info.
