Let's start with the number, because that's why you're still reading.

Around $2,700 a month net. Call it 8% a year on a $399K purchase. That's not a spreadsheet fantasy with 95% occupancy and a unicorn tenant; it's three brand-new rental studios plus a street-front commercial space in a town where people actually live, work, and need a place to rent. Your Canadian GIC is doing 3-something and doesn't come with a pool.

And that's before you touch the upside.

The two-car garage and the on-site shipping container are sitting there waiting to become 2–3 more rental units. Same gate, same lot, same walk to town, more doors. Do the conversion and the 8% starts looking like the floor, not the ceiling. (Yes, "shipping container studio" is a real thing here, and yes, tenants love them more than the container ever loved being a container.)

"In the middle of town" is what makes the number reliable.

Most income properties in Guanacaste make you choose: be near the tourists and pay for it, or be affordable and drive forty minutes for a bag of rice. Sardinal is the third option. It's a real Costa Rican town, not a resort with a supermarket bolted on. You walk to the pharmacy, the ferretería, the soda where the lunch special is $6 and the gossip is free. And you do it from behind a wall and a gate, which is the part every landlord quietly appreciates most.

Four ways to make money, one address (six or seven if you build out).

Live in the 2-bed, 1.5-bath main house. Rent the three new studios long-term to the teachers, nurses, and remote workers who want to be near Coco without paying Coco. Or run them as vacation stays for the "fifteen minutes from the beach and half the price" crowd. Then there's the street-front building: yoga studio, café, gym, boutique office, take your pick. Your tenants pay rent, your customers pay at the door, and you float in the pool between the two while pretending it's "site supervision."

The triangle that makes this work:

~15 min to the beach (Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa, Playa Panamá)

~20 min to Liberia International Airport (LIR)

~15 min to Guanacaste's top private schools

Walkable to everything in Sardinal itself

School run in the morning, beach after 3, airport pickups without the dread, and rent landing on the first of the month.

Financing available for qualified buyers, ask me about current options.

Buying with a Self-Directed IRA? A gated, multi-unit property throwing off ~8% net with room to add doors is exactly the kind of asset the SDIRA structure was built for. Ask me how it works with Costa Rica real estate, I work directly with Equity Trust Company to keep it simple.

DM me the word SARDINAL for full details, the 36-photo gallery, the income breakdown, and a walkthrough. Bring a calculator. The rental math is the fun part.
