One of the most frequently asked questions is “Can I borrow money in the Central Valley of Costa Rica in 2023?” The answer is “Yes!” It’s hard for a foreigner in Costa Rica to get a loan from a conventional bank, and that is why companies like GAP Equity Loans are here to help you – we make it easy!

Have a look through the prior loans we dealt with in the Central Valley, which are considered “closed”, meaning they are no longer available. You can see the variety of loans we focus on and the locations we prefer.

GAP closes loans within 10 business days once the required documents are complete. Banks can take many months, if not longer, to close, which is why real estate developers, investors, homeowners, and business owners choose us. Gap Investments can be a better choice in the flexibility of terms offered to benefit both parties mutually. 

We work with private lenders to structure the loan repayment and collateral (equity) release terms to benefit both parties mutually. With borrowers, we aim to get quick approvals on their loan requests. Check the full list of the services we provide HERE.
