Edit assumptions (plug in real contractor quotes)
Feasibility scenario — not a contractor quote
- •Construction uses our in-house team's ~$1,600/m² premium rate (shell + finishes; pool/landscaping & permits are added separately). Typical local quotes run $1,200–2,400/m². Final cost still depends on the confirmed scope.
- •Assumes a ~14-month build with no rental income during construction; excludes land-carry, financing and price escalation.
- •Parts of the Tamarindo strip are ZMT — confirm titled vs. concession.
- •Enter the lot size to check the build fits the parcel's coverage limit and see the largest villa it allows.
- •Few or scattered nearby comps behind the revenue estimate — lower confidence.
- •Water availability (ASADA letter) and utilities can make or break a build — verify before you buy the lot.

Good to know
- Recipe gaps vs local winners: Gym / fitness.
- Build scenarios use market-level revenue anchors — re-run at the lot pin on the report.
Check before you offer
- Confirm registered fee-simple title (folio real), free of liens.
- Confirm a legal water supply (AyA or ASADA letter / carta de agua) — no water letter, no deal.
- If anything is already built on the lot, confirm permisos de construcción cover it — unpermitted work can block closing.
- Verify buildable footprint, coverage rules, access, and ZMT status with the municipality.
- Get real contractor quotes before trusting any yield-on-cost figure.
