Property flipping is an investment model that, when executed with planning and market knowledge, can be highly profitable. The key is to identify properties with high appreciation potential, make strategic improvements and take advantage of the demand in the area.

In this sense, Curridabat, Barrio DENT, Los Yoses, Rohrmoser - Nunciatura, Escazu, are some of the areas that offer an ideal combination for this business model. Many of its properties stand out for their robust and quality construction, which allows for efficient renovations without incurring high structural costs. In addition, its commercial growth and wide academic offerings -with prestigious colleges and universities- make it an area with sustained demand, both residential and commercial.

However, beyond the appearance and condition of a property, a key element in any investment analysis is the best and highest use study. A comprehensive analysis that allows to evaluate the real potential of the property in terms of what is physically possible, financially feasible from a legal and physical point of view and that complies with local regulations in terms of infrastructure and physical characteristics of the land. In developing areas, such as Barrio DENT and those mentioned above, this study can reveal whether a property that was originally intended for residential renovation has greater value as commercial space, provided that the regulations allow it.
