Should I buy or rent a home in Playa Jaco?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Playa Jaco, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Whether you should buy or rent a home in Playa Jaco depends on your individual circumstances. If you are looking for a long-term investment or want to become a permanent resident, buying is likely the beneficial option. Buying will ensure you have a permanent place to stay, can use the home for vacation getaways, and may give you the opportunity to make a financial return if you decide to rent the property out when you’re not using it. On the other hand, if your plans are more short-term or you want to live somewhere but don’t feel comfortable making a longer-term commitment, then renting may be a better option. It will give you flexibility and often require less upfront costs than purchasing a home. Ultimately, you should weigh your own pros and cons to decide which option is best for you," said a member in Playa Jaco, Costa Rica.

"We purchased our own home. This was an easy process as you do not need to be a resident to own property in Costa Rica. However, I would advise anyone whether renting or purchasing property to hire a reputable attorney to assist with the process," remarked another expat who made the move to Playa Hermosa de Jaco, Costa Rica.
