Due Diligence & Property Risk

Water Information Belongs in the Property File

For a property-backed request, water information helps describe how the property is intended to function. A practical file may include available service information, project plans, site details, utility documentation already held by the owner, and the way water planning relates to the proposed use.

GAP helps borrowers organize practical Costa Rica property diligence lenders rely on. The objective is a clear property picture, not a regulatory conclusion: identify the relevant documents and questions early so the request is ready to present.

Connect Water Details to the Project

Water information is most useful when it is placed alongside access, power, drainage, usable areas, improvements, budget, timeline, and a realistic repayment or exit strategy. Property-backed requests start at US$50,000, and GAP does not require a credit score.

Terms are available from 3 months to 3 years. Qualified complete files can often close in about 10 business days after GAP due diligence is complete.
