Why We Created a New Path to Costa Rica Home Loans

We didn’t launch Volo Loans from a boardroom, we built it out of frustration, on the back porch of a half-finished house in Costa Rica. After falling hard for the pura vida life, we tried to buy a vacation home. We thought the hard part would be finding the right property. Turns out, it was the financing.

Between local banks with residency hoops and year-long waits, sky-high private lender rates, and the risky proposition of wiring large sums overseas… the options weren’t just limited, they were exhausting.

We knew there had to be a better way. So we created it. By adapting U.S. mortgage standards to the Costa Rican real estate market, and partnering with in-country experts, we built something we wish we’d had from the start: a safe, fast, and transparent path to financing your home in paradise.

Ready to see what’s possible in Costa Rica? Start with our Costa Rica home loan solutions, then talk with us and let’s make it happen.

Our mission is to provide U.S. citizens with access to safe, swift and secure loans when buying property in other countries.
