What We Do

GAP Investments helps connect private capital with reviewed Costa Rica lending opportunities.

GAP Investments works with private lenders and capital groups interested in Costa Rica real estate-backed lending.

Each opportunity is reviewed with attention to collateral, loan-to-value, title structure, documentation, borrower cooperation, repayment logic, and the closing process.

The goal is not volume. The goal is a disciplined lending process where opportunities are reviewed clearly before they are presented.

The GAP Investments focus

We focus on private lending opportunities backed by Costa Rica real estate, where the structure, collateral, and documentation can be reviewed before capital is introduced.

Founder Perspective

Built from a real gap in the Costa Rica financing market.

GAP Investments grew out of a practical financing problem in Costa Rica.

Many non-residents, foreign property owners, developers, and investors need structured financing options, but traditional bank financing can be difficult, slow, or unavailable depending on residency status, local credit history, property type, income source, and underwriting requirements.

That gap created the need for a more flexible private lending ecosystem focused on collateral, structure, and practical deal review.

Grupo GAP background

GAP Investments is part of the Grupo GAP ecosystem, which includes GAP Equity Loans, GAP Real Estate, and GAP.cr. Each brand has a different role, but the broader focus is helping clients navigate lending, investment, and real estate opportunities in Costa Rica.

Our Approach

Structure comes before capital placement.

Private lending works best when the file is organized properly before capital is introduced. That means reviewing the property, ownership, loan amount, loan-to-value, use of funds, repayment plan, title position, and closing pathway before a lender makes a decision.

Selective Review

Not every loan request becomes a lending opportunity. Files are reviewed before presentation.

Collateral Focus

Opportunities are generally backed by Costa Rica real estate and reviewed for collateral strength.

Loan-to-Value Discipline

The relationship between the requested loan and property value is reviewed carefully.

Lender Matching

Opportunities are matched to lender profile, capital range, timing, and structure preference.

Closing Coordination

The process is coordinated toward the closing so the lender’s security position is handled properly.

Clear Positioning

GAP Investments does not pool investor money, accept deposits, or present itself as the lender.

Experience

Practical lending and real estate experience in Costa Rica matters.

Costa Rica private lending is not only about finding a borrower and a property. The details matter.

Property value, title review, liens, ownership structure, documentation, borrower cooperation, exit strategy, and the closing process can all affect whether a deal moves forward.

GAP Investments brings a practical, transaction-focused approach to reviewing those details.

Core review areas:

  • Property and location review
  • Loan-to-value review
  • Title and ownership review
  • Existing liens or encumbrances
  • Use of funds
  • Exit strategy
  • Lender fit
  • Closing pathway

For Private Lenders

A better fit for lenders who want structure.

GAP Investments is generally a better fit for private lenders who want real estate-backed opportunities reviewed through a disciplined process.

Some lenders prefer smaller residential property-backed loans. Others may prefer commercial, construction, bridge, or larger capital opportunities.

The first step is understanding the lender profile before introducing specific opportunities.

Capital Groups

GAP Investments may also work with larger capital groups and family offices.

Some opportunities may involve larger capital placements, commercial lending, construction lending, or project-related financing discussions.

Important Positioning

GAP Investments does not pool investor money.

Opportunities are reviewed individually. GAP Investments does not present itself as the lender, does not pool investor money, and does not accept deposits. Lending opportunities are discussed based on deal structure, lender profile, documentation, and availability.
