To find property for rent by owner in Costa Rica (often abbreviated as FRBO), a combination of online platforms, local resources, and direct word-of-mouth can be used.

Websites that are set-up for FRBO, allow filtering for owner-listed rentals, and when searching be sure about what you want such as location, budget, and the type of housing.

Never wire money or send deposits before seeing the property, and ask for a lease and verify ownership if possible by using local property tax records.

Buying a property that is then set up as a "for rent by owner" (FRBO), is usually one that is intended to be rented out without the assistance of a property manager.

When a suitable property has been found evaluate the property as an investment, and ask for current rental rates and payment history, maintenance records, property expenses such as taxes, insurance and utilities costs.

You can work directly with the owner or hire a real estate attorney or buyer's agent to help draft an offer, but before making an offer perform due diligence such as hiring a licensed home inspector and ensure there are no liens.

Use a title company or closing attorney to handle escrow, title transfer, and recording the deed.
