Once you have decided to buy a house or a condo and to make Costa Rica your temporary "home away from home", you will want to make sure that your home is in goods hands when you are not around. After all, an unattended property could invite unwelcome visitors, an unattended property will start to loose its value if no regular maintenance or repairs are being done. And although you are not around, there are still bills that need to be paid.
