If I have a near term plan to stay in the US for much of the year but to invest in a home in costa rica for gradually increased time outside the US , are there preferred locations where you can feel safe in absentia, and are there security services that will protect property?
If you plan to split your time between the U.S. and Costa Rica, I would recommend buying a home in a gated community. These types of developments can be found anywhere in the country. Having a guard on duty at the gate will give you piece of mind and it’s a common arrangement. If you’re interested there are monitored home alarm/security systems similar to those in the U.S.
