Imagine waking up to the sounds of exotic birdsong and the gentle rhythm of the waves. Costa Rica, with its stunning natural beauty, rich culture, and relaxed “Pura Vida” lifestyle, beckons adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. But for many, the dream of owning property in this tropical paradise can be hindered by the complexities of financing.
Volo Loans, Your Partner in Costa Rican Property Ownership
Enter Volo Loans, a U.S.-based lender dedicated to simplifying the process of owning Costa Rican real estate. They understand the unique challenges faced by foreign buyers and bridge the gap between U.S. lending practices and the local market. Volo Loan’s founders, driven by their own love for Costa Rica, recognized the need for a streamlined and transparent financing solution – and Volo Loans was born.
Tailored Solutions for Your Dream Property
Volo Loans offers a diverse range of loan options to meet your individual needs, including:
- Adjustable-Rate Loans (ARLs): There are two ARL options-30 year amortization, fixed for 5 years, adjusting every 6 months after that or 30 year amortization, fixed for 7 years, adjusting every 6 months after that. These offer a lower starting interest rate than fixed-rate loans, which can save you money upfront.
- Fixed-Rate Loan: Enjoy consistent payments throughout the loan term with a 30-year fixed-rate option.
- Lot Loan: Ideal for land purchases, Volo’s Lot Loan option is a fixed rate, amortized for 30 years, with a 3 year balloon. This allows ample time to design and build your home.
Competitive Rates and Efficient Process
Volo Loans leverages innovative technology and strong local partnerships to offer highly competitive rates. They take the time to understand your financial situation, ensuring you receive the most accurate information and the most favorable loan terms possible. This personalized approach paired with their streamlined process facilitates quick closings, typically within 45 days.
Transparency and Flexibility
Volo Loans prioritizes transparency and fairness. Their loans are free of prepayment penalties, a common practice in Costa Rica.
When it comes to the types of properties eligible for financing, Volo Loans focuses on Fee Simple properties, meaning the borrower owns the land outright. Concession properties, which are owned by the Costa Rican government, are eligible, on a case-by-case basis, ensuring that clients’ investments are secure and straightforward.
Financing for Your Investment Goals
For those interested in generating income from their property, Volo Loans offers flexibility as well. By closing the loan in a Costa Rican LLC, clients can use their property for short-term rentals immediately after the purchase, offering an additional source of revenue.
Security and Convenience
They are compliant with both U.S. and Costa Rican regulatory agencies and uphold ethical lending practices. For making loan payments, Volo offers a user-friendly online platform for ultimate convenience.

Volo Loans goes beyond simply being a lender. They’re your partner in achieving your Costa Rican dream of home ownership.
