Three hours.
At 1 p.m. ET sharp, the Solea inquiry page goes live. The deal opens.
True beachfront in Costa Rica.
On the closest major beach to the main international airport.
Ocean views from every condo.
Incredible planned amenities right on the sand…pool, gym, firepits, lounge…
I expect gains of $223,000 five years after delivery on our entry-priced two-bed condos and 17% gross yields once the community is established.
We have three-beds for just $427,000. I expect these to rise in value to $748,000 in the same time frame. A gain of $321,000.
Penthouses are ours for just $535,000 and I figure they will be pushing close to a million dollars five years after delivery.
With just three hours to go I must tell you that interest from members is at record levels and risk of disappointment is very real if you don’t move fast today.
Although renders shouldn’t be considered final they give us a great idea what to expect.
I’ll boil it down to a three-step checklist for today:
Step 1—The inquiry. Bookmark the inquiry link. At 1 p.m. ET that page goes live. You input your name, email, and phone number. You hit send.
I’ll also send you an email at 1 p.m. ET with the subject line “Solea: Deal Open.” That will also have the link. That’s your green light.
Step 2—The phone call. Straight after you’ve inquired you will get a phone number. Call it immediately. That’s the customer care team and that’s how you get on the call-back list. The faster you call, the higher on the list you are.
The higher on the call-back list you are, the better your chance of a condo.
Step 3—Wait for a call back from the Smart Money Homes team.
I’ve put the full step-by-step guide here. That takes you all the way through your due diligence to being an owner.
True beachfront in Costa Rica is one of the rarest forms of real estate on earth. 95% of the country’s beachfront is concession land—leased from the state, capped at 49% foreign ownership. Of the 5% that is titled and ownable, almost all of it sits with hotels, resorts, and legacy estates.
The pool of titled true beachfront available in private condo form—what we’re buying—is vanishingly small.
In 15 years of scouting Costa Rica for RETA, this is the first such opportunity I have ever brought to members. The first.
And the developer is one of Costa Rica’s most established— 30 years of landmark communities, over $1 billion of completed transactions, more than 600,000 square meters delivered. Their last luxury project sold out before construction began. Same firm, same architects, now building Solea. The CEO is keeping a condo for himself.
The math one more time:
A brand-new two-bed at Pacific Point next door—back from the sand, road in front—is asking $519,500. A two-bed at The Palms, on the beach, is asking $595,000. A three-bed at Vistas Las Palmas is asking $850,000.
We get a penthouse at a RETA-only $535,000….a three-bed for just $427,000…
A 20th-floor two-bed with spectacular views for just $369,000…
For something newer, incredibly amenitized, on the sand…
And the demand engine is real. Three million international visitors a year. Q1 2026 the best opening quarter in Costa Rica’s history. Tourism the country’s largest single industry, 8% of GDP. The only Central American country with eight direct routes to Europe and direct service from all over North America.
Underneath the tourism wave, a second renter pool that most foreign buyers never see: thousands of high-earning professionals in San José working for Intel, Microsoft, Amazon, Pfizer, Boston Scientific, Abbott, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Oracle. Driving down to Jacó every Friday afternoon for years. Renting condos year-round.
And the track record sitting underneath the deal. Six Costa Rica deals in 15 years. Acquarello Flamingo: $118,200 uplift in two years. Azul Paraiso: $170,600 and $252,600. Villas Vista de la Montaña: $149,000. Villas Ojochal: $107,000. Every one of them has delivered.
Solea is the rarest of the rare. True beachfront. Titled. Fee simple. The first I have ever brought to RETA members in 15 years of scouting this country.
In three hours, you can act on it.
Be ready.
I’ll see you at 1 p.m. ET.
Wishing you good real estate investing,
P.S. You have three hours to review the deal briefing again. The members who walk into 1 p.m. ET already briefed will move faster than the members who don’t. [Read the briefing.]
