Making Money with your Costa Rica Condo Hotel:

To make money with your Costa Rica Condo property all you need to do is to make sure that your home is available to rent when you are not using it.

Although a condo hotel operator will rarely guarantee occupancy rates, the more professional and established the condo hotel operator is, the better chance you have of a higher occupancy rate and making money.

From that rental income:

• You will receive a percentage of the rental income and
• The operator of the rental program will receive a percentage.

The rental revenue split will vary depending on the condo hotel operator, someimes it's 70:30 (Owner:Operator) and quite often the revenues are split 50:50

The Advantages of a Costa Rica Condo Hotel:

• Location! Location! Location! So far the condo hotels we have seen are being built in 'the' best locations, for example we recommend the One Jaco Place Luxury Condo Resort and Condo Hotel in the booming Central Pacific town of Jaco.
• Condo Hotels are invariably 'top-of-the-line' luxury homes and will come with lots of luxury amenities that one would expect in a quality luxury resort like gourmet restaurants, cocktails bars, casinos, valet services, gymnasiums and spas. The One Jaco Place Luxury Condo Resort and Condo Hotel even offers an infinity spa pool on the balcony of each apartment.
• To help pay for the costs of your Costa Rica Condo Hotel, you can make a little money by having your home in the rental program so that other people could pay you ti use it when you are not using it.
• Stress-Free Costa Rica Condo Ownership: The management company will take care of everything for you so there's no need to worry about cleaning, taking reservations or looking after the people who are renting your home when you are not there.
