A bit of a weird one I stumbled upon recently. I own some rental property in Nosara and know first hand how frustrating the car market is in Costa Rica. I spend a couple months down there a year and opted to buy a car because the rental prices can get so insane. But then you get the universal expat problem of car storage. Due to the natural humidity and age of the average vehicles on the road, it's critical to have your car somewhere that you trust and where someone can start it for you once a week / address any mechanical issues you have. That's where Car Center CoCo steps in. The asset is a residential property + car storage business that has lots of avenues for significant growth. I've added pictures of the home & storage here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UF1DvV6XFYxIqH58t6kTPQlWUZCwIlbt?dmr=1&ec=wgc-drive-hero-goto Asking price is $850,000 - I bet this can be negotiated down. $350,000 of owner financing is on the table. Finance offering is 3 year term 0% interest. So you could effectively buy this property a couple minutes from the beach for $500,000 and just let the business pay off the financing for the next 3 years. I'm not a broker, just a guy who wanted to share an opportunity.

Hey Leon, thanks for sharing. I've spent some great times in Nosara. Not sure if the Surfing Nosara folks are still down there, but they were a real estate company and took daily photos of surfers on the beach. Maybe you know them since you spend time down there throughout the year.
