Why I chose Oceano
Alejandro José Quirce Jiménez
Entrepreneur and business owner
San José, Costa Rica


How would you describe yourself?
I am an entrepreneur who works hard during the week but likes to spend any time I have left with my family and do as much outdoor sports as I can. I believe in building long term values such as family and honest business.

Do you enjoy water sports?
I love water sports, it is my favorite pass time: surfing, sport fishing, scuba diving and boating.

Why do you think Jaco is a good place to invest?
I see Jaco as a stable growing region demographically and commercially. Even before the new highway opened, which made a big impact, I think Jaco is growing in a good stable pace. For me Jaco is the city of the coast that will guarantee that my investment at Oceano will reach high occupancy levels and generate a good passive income for me. I believe in this project as it offers a lot of services and amenities and is very accessible to San Jose.


What are the things you liked about Oceano?
I really liked the architecture, business plan, investment plan and marketing strategies, I also think the location is great for rentals, but most of all I was impressed with the people that represent the project. I think the developer and his team are very trust worthy and dedicated, I have complete confidence that they are going to deliver a good product.


What made you have confidence in this development?
The way they have structured the steps to make sure the development moves forward, Itai, the developer, has put a lot of time and effort into the project and I respect that. I am the same way as an entrepreneur myself, I invest a lot of time and energy into everything I do, and I could see that Itai is the same way. I think he took the right steps in the right direction and he is very focused, well organized and has extensive business experience.


What made you move forward with your purchase?
The confidence that I have in the project and the people behind it. I believe Oceano is a good selling product. I also like the fact that I will be able to enjoy it with my family, coming down to Jaco on Friday evening to catch the sunset, spend the weekend and come back Sunday night well rested without being exhausted from driving long distances, just pleasantly tired from all the beach activities.


Who would you recommend Oceano to?
I would recommend Oceano to all the people that are in the same life stage as I am, hard working individuals with a young family who find a benefit in having a recreational apartment on the coast that pays for itself and allows them to enjoy Jaco's sandy beaches and amenities in their limited spare time.

Why I Chose Oceano

Dr. Sarkar
Florida, USA

As a doctor in Florida with small children, my schedule is pretty tight. I can only take weekends off or just a few days here and there to relax and enjoy myself. Jaco's proximity to the international airport and its many activities make it very convenient for my lifestyle. There are great restaurants, bars, tours and beaches. There is always something going on.

The new highway that opened this year is a big benefit in my opinion. It makes the ride to Jaco much faster and more comfortable than before. The drive on the old road was not so pleasant. Another thing about Jaco is that the current hotel options in town are not very appealing. They are overpriced and the value is not really there. I am a person that enjoys things of high quality. That is why Oceano's design, quality finishes and amenities definitely appealed to me. I love room service!

I think Oceano will be the best hotel value in Jaco and I am glad I purchased. I also think the project's location is very good for rentals. It is not ocean front but the price is great. Other projects in the Jaco area are very nice but are not designed to rent well. I think Oceano makes more business sense and will bring in more money.

Oceano allows me to have a second home that is subsidized by the rental income.

How to legally purchase rental income properties with your retirement fund

Is it legal to purchase real estate and other non-traditional assets using my IRA?


The answer is yes!
The Employee Retirement Income Security ACT (ERISA) of 1974 passed the responsibility of retirement saving from the employer to the employee. Created in 1975, IRAs provide individuals a chance to direct where their retirement funds are invested.

The IRS code, instead of distinguishing which investments are allowed, identifies which investments are not permitted under these laws. Under both ERISA and IRS codes, there are only two types of investments excluded: life insurance contracts and collectibles such as works of art, rugs, jewelry, etc. Refer to Internal Revenue Code Section 401.


How come I haven't known about this?

It's a common misconception that the only investments allowed in a retirement account are stocks, CDs and mutual funds.
The truth is that broader investment options have been available to the public since the inception of the IRA in 1975.

The retirement industry has been dominated by large transaction-driven custodians who have focused on a narrow universe of investments. While these kinds of accounts may be right for some, they don't offer the kind of freedom that a self-directed qualified retirement plan offers.

The fully maximize your investment options, you need to have a retirement plan that allows you to select your own investments. A fully self-directed retirement plan allows you the freedom to invest in many types of assets -- assets that are not prohibited by the Treasury Department regulations and the Internal Revenue code.

A condo at Oceano is a great option for your retirement plan as it qualifies with all the IRA requirements and provides an alternative option with security, hard asset and high rental income.


Do a lot of people who have self-directed IRA accounts?
The self-directed industry is growing very strong and is expected to see around $2 trillion enter the market in the next two years. There are over 45 million IRA holders, and less than 4% of those are held in non-traditional assets. This number is expected to grow significantly over the next 5 years as more individuals and their financial advisers attain a greater awareness of self-directed IRAs.


How do I open a self-directed IRA?

Why I chose Oceano

Roger N. Kourey
Dentist, South Carolina, USA

"When I came to Costa Rica I was in search for a home or a small piece of land. After visiting and learning the area I decided to purchase in the Oceano development because it just made more sense for me. I figured if I was not going to live in Costa Rica full time I might as well have a property that can maintain itself and generate retirement income.

It would also give me a warm place to spend future winter months and go fishing in the Pacific. I also really enjoyed Jaco, while the other areas are nice I found them to be too secluded. Jaco is a vibrant and active community which is more of what I prefer. My realtor and the Oceano developers helped to make me feel very comfortable and secure with this purchase through the entire process".
