Foreign Ownership Made Easy

With the right guidance, buying real estate in Mexico can be an enjoyable experience.

Mexico’s Foreign Investment Law allows foreigners to own real estate throughout the country, with certain restrictions for properties within 100 kilometers of the border and 50 kilometers of the coastline. For coastal and border properties, the fideicomiso—a bank trust—is a standard solution, offering foreign buyers full ownership rights and flexibility to sell or pass the property on to heirs. The fideicomiso is valid for 50 years and renewable, and it’s cost-effective, with setup fees ranging from $4000 to $5000 and annual maintenance between $500 and $700.

Alternatively, those looking to invest in land for commercial use can opt for a Mexican corporation, which allows 100% foreign ownership but comes with more reporting and tax obligations. This structure is ideal for those planning to subdivide or develop real estate.

More and more Americans and Canadians are heading South of the Border, seeking the sunshine, beaches, and rich Mexican culture and enjoying the excellent, friendly service of the Mexican people. Many purchase a little paradise to enjoy a vacation home, retire, or invest.

Offer and Acceptance: Start with a written offer detailing the price, terms, and deposit. Mexican law recognizes verbal agreements, but written contracts eliminate misunderstandings.
Promissory Agreement: A promissory agreement binds both parties once the offer is accepted. Your attorney will oversee trust applications and legal due diligence, ensuring the property’s clean title and all necessary documents are in order.
Sales Agreement and Closing: Upon completion of legal reviews and trust documentation, the final purchase agreement is executed. Your notary will facilitate the closing, where the deed is signed, final payments are made, and ownership is officially transferred.
Title Transfer: After closing, the property title is registered, and within approximately three months, you’ll receive the final deed, allowing you to enjoy your new piece of paradise fully.
