Since your anticipated participation in the Costa Rican real estate market would be in direct competition with native agents, it would be a violation of the terms of your tourist visa and your temporary residency. In short, a non-Costa Rican cannot compete for employment with a Costa Rican citizen. The only exception would be if you bring unique skills not found in the local employment pool and if you can then get a work permit. That's highly unlikely.
