Estimated yearly income for this property
| Estimated yearly income | Conservative | Moderate | Optimistic |
|---|
| Gross yield (on asking) | 2% | 6% | 11% |
| Revenue / yr | $6,325 | $14,494 | $26,777 |
Conservative = lowest adjusted nearby rental · Moderate = our default estimate · Optimistic = highest adjusted comp · Wide range = plan to the conservative column.
- · Based on 2 nearby rentals · median 3.0 km.
- · Comps spread widely — plan to the conservative column.
- · 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.
- · Confirm municipal construction permits match what's built — unpermitted pools, casitas, or extra bedrooms are a closing risk.
- · Few or scattered nearby rentals behind this estimate — lower confidence.

Check before you offer — Costa Rica buyer checklist
Listing & data truth
- Asking price is real, complete, and fee-simple — Parse errors, +VAT footnotes, per-key pricing, and fractional shares routinely break yield math.
- Map pin matches the actual parcel — Brokers often publish town-centroid pins; revenue and beach distance shift materially.
- Beds, baths, and build size match reality — Comp matching keys off bedrooms; a 3BR scored as 5BR invalidates the entire revenue band.
Revenue & STR legality
- STR revenue band (our underwriting) — The median on this report is our comp-weighted, product-type-adjusted estimate — the authority for yield and rank on Pura Vida Portfolio.
- Short-term rentals allowed (HOA + municipal) — Gated communities and some municipalities restrict nightly rentals — not visible in photos.
Property & condition
- Amenities match listing, vision, and comp adjustments — Recipe appraisal and gallery vision infer pool, AC, view — photos can be stale or neighboring views.
- Condition matches gallery / vision read — Vision reads finish tier and flags issues from photos only — not a substitute for inspection.
Title & registry
- Fee-simple title — no concession / fractional — Concession land and timeshares can't be underwritten like titled homes.
Water & utilities
- Legal water (AyA or ASADA letter) — No water letter = no permits; common deal-killer in Guanacaste.
Permits & construction
- Built area matches approved construction permits — Owners often add bedrooms, pools, casitas, or second structures without municipal permits — fines, demolition orders, or deal failure at closing.
Zoning & site
- Zoning allows intended use — Automated site DD links to sources — attorney must confirm use certificate.
Closing risk
- Taxes current, HOA solvent, no squatter risk — Arrears attach; HOAs can block rentals; precarista risk on rural parcels.
Inland of the ZMT with a registered parcel
It's beyond the 200 m Maritime Terrestrial Zone and matches a registered finca — consistent with fee-simple (titled) ownership. Always confirm the folio real for liens and exact area.
