Leveraging to Live in Paradise

Due to social, economic, and cultural factors, more and more North Americans and Europeans are leaving their countries of origin to buy second homes, or move away full time outside the country.

By way of the "Pura Vida" lifestyle, Costa Rica has become a very popular destination for expats around the world. Pura Vida directly translates to "Pure Life," which best describes the essence of living in Costa Rica. Beyond 6% of the entire world's biodiversity, 12 months of tropical weather, and some of the world's best quality produce—life in Costa Rica can help us remember what it is like to feel like a human being again. We wish to help you live in luxury and peace.

With the incredibly large influx of expats entering the country and establishing residency, the development of the country has responded greatly. Infrastructure growth and foreign investment into Costa Rica continue to increase at a rapid rate. Investors of large developments in Costa Rica have incentives to help finance the transition and purchase of Costa Rica land and real estate to double down on their larger investments. This essentially assures that there will be an affluent demographic of people who will be willing to spend their money on the larger infrastructure investments.

Costa Rica Development Financing

Our banking and credit relationships can assist developers or real estate investors in need of funding. We have a network of banks, credit unions, and private lenders in Costa Rica and internationally that apply different types of financing options to various types of development (single-family, community spaces, commercial, hotels, casinos, etc.).

Developers based in Costa Rica or other countries can qualify for several types of financing to increase an amount of a proposed capital stack. Depending on funding type and qualifications, developers and business owners can combine a few forms of capital to reduce their own cash skin in the game.

Financing Clients for Homes/Businesses

Financing clients to purchase their homes/businesses in Costa Rica and beyond.

Financing is not easy, or cheap in Costa Rica (in cost, leverage, and value assignment), but CRC has many connections nationally that fund different versions of similar loan products that typically cap out at 65% LTC.

What separates Costa Rica Capital from any other financing resource is that we can not only provide financing in Costa Rica but also help expats leverage their personal/commercial portfolio to fund their Costa Rica project.

Expats, residents, or any client with a qualified asset portfolio may also select from a bevy of financial relationships available in the United States depending on their income/portfolio—including enterprises, hard assets, and publicly traded securities.

These resources are available to anyone in the world who qualifies—not only for expats living in Costa Rica. Rates as low as 3.5%.

International Business Lines of Credit

We work with banks specializing in financing foreign trade lines all over the world, with special relationships in Latin America. We can consider any business in the U.S., Costa Rica, or any foreign country (that passes credit insurance) and buys/sells with another company in another qualified country.

We provide AR lines of credit so businesses can bridge the gap between client invoices. If you operate a business in a reputable country that buys/sells to/from another reputable or prominently standing country, we can apply you for funding.

About Us


Matthew Harris Gross

First arrived in Costa Rica during the global pandemic in March of 2021. At the time, Matthew was residing in Manhattan, New York. Upon arriving and Matthew was struck with the natural beauty of the Valley provinces: rolling landscapes and seemingly endless Mountain-Valley views. However, by night three of watching the sunset on a quaint beach in the pacific coast, there was a different feeling inside-one that had either been forgotten or depressed out of him during the Covid lockdown. “I don’t know if it was a feeling of anxiety washing away, or simply being in the exact opposite type of environment than New York, New York, but I had the understanding that I needed to spend at least a few months of my life here, every year for the rest of my life. Now that I live here en la zona sur (southern pacific zone) full time and share the beauty of life here with my young daughter, I feel as though everything happens for a reason.

After two+ years of full-time life in Costa Rica, the feeling of physical strength and mental clarity is almost impossible to put into words. Apart from living in an environment with the highest standard of human longevity, any one can come create their life and buy or build a home to maintain the integrity of mother nature. It is the nature nature of what it means to be human. Matthew Harris and CRC are grateful to have opportunities to help others and facilitate this experience for all that wish for it.
