OWNER FINANCING
A Simpler Way to Buy Property in Costa Rica
Owner financing allows you to purchase property without going through a traditional bank. Instead, you make payments directly to the seller under agreed terms.
How It Works
You provide a down payment upfront.
The remaining balance is paid in monthly installments over a set period, typically with interest.
In many cases, there is a final payoff (balloon payment) at the end of the term.
All terms are agreed upon in advance, including price, payment schedule, and timeline.
Why Buyers Use Owner Financing
- No local bank required
Avoid strict lending requirements, foreign income verification, and long approval timelines. - Faster access to property
Transactions can move quicker without institutional delays. - Flexible structure
Terms are negotiated directly, allowing for customized down payments and timelines. - Access to more opportunities
Some properties are only available through owner financing, including off-market deals.
When It Makes Sense
- You are an international buyer without local financing
- You want to secure a property quickly
- You prefer flexible terms over rigid bank structures
- You plan to refinance or pay off the balance within a few years
Important Considerations
Owner financing is a structured agreement.
You are responsible for making payments on time and understanding the terms, including any final payoff requirements.
