Edit assumptions (plug in real contractor quotes)

Feasibility scenario — not a contractor quote

  • Construction uses our in-house team's ~$1,000/m² standard 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.
  • 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.

Story

Is it for you?

Patient capital building equity — design-build or JV, not move-in cashflow.

Move on if you need rental income on day one.

Why we flagged this

  • Few or scattered nearby rentals behind this build scenario — lower confidence.
  • Approximate pin — re-run build yield once exact parcel location is confirmed.
  • Recipe gaps vs local winners: Gym / fitness, Hot tub, BBQ / grill.
  • Build scenarios use market-level revenue anchors — re-run at the lot pin on the report.

Check before you offer

  • Get exact parcel coordinates — approximate pin; accept placement in admin location queue or verify on site.
  • 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.
