Buyer Guidance + FAQ
We know buying in Mexico is a big decision. This guide answers common questions and gives you the confidence to move forward.
How does the buying process work in Mexico?
We make it seamless. From property search to closing, our local experts guide you every step of the way — including due diligence, legal review, and trust setup if needed. You'll always know what's next.Can foreigners buy property in Mexico?
Yes. Foreigners can purchase property in Mexico, including in the restricted zone (within 50 km of the coast or 100 km of a border). This is typically done through a bank trust (fideicomiso) or a Mexican corporation.What is a fideicomiso (bank trust)?
A fideicomiso is a bank trust that allows foreigners to hold title to property in Mexico's restricted zones. The bank acts as trustee while you retain full ownership rights — to use, sell, or transfer the property.What are the typical closing costs?
Closing costs in Mexico typically range from 4–8% of the purchase price, including acquisition tax, notary fees, registration fees, and trust setup costs if applicable.Can I rent out my property?
Yes. Many buyers generate rental income through short-term platforms like Airbnb or through a professional property management company. We can connect you with trusted local management partners.Is it safe to invest in Mexico?
Mexico has a robust legal framework for real estate transactions. With proper due diligence, a licensed notary, and guidance from experienced local experts like our team, buying in Mexico is a secure investment.What is the restricted zone?
Mexico's restricted zone covers land within 50 km of the coastline and 100 km of national borders. Foreigners must use a bank trust (fideicomiso) or Mexican corporation to purchase in this zone.Do I need a Mexican lawyer?
While not legally required, we strongly recommend working with a bilingual real estate attorney. All transactions are formalized before a Mexican Notary Public (Notario Público), who acts as a neutral legal authority.How does property title transfer work?
Title transfer in Mexico is handled through a Notario Público. The deed (escritura) is recorded in the Public Registry of Property. Our team coordinates the entire process to ensure a clean, secure transfer.Can I inherit or gift a Mexican property?
Yes. Mexican properties held via fideicomiso can be inherited or gifted. We recommend designating beneficiaries in the trust deed to simplify the process and avoid probate.What is ejido land and should I avoid it?
Ejido land is communal agricultural land under federal protection. It cannot be privately owned without a formal conversion process. Our due diligence always verifies that a property is free of ejido restrictions.What taxes do I pay when buying?
The main acquisition tax (ISAI) varies by state, typically 2–4% of the purchase price. Budget additionally for notary fees, trust setup fees, and registration in the public property registry.Are there annual property taxes?
Yes. Mexico's annual property tax (predial) is very low compared to the US or Canada — typically 0.1–0.3% of the assessed value, paid once per year.What are fideicomiso maintenance fees?
Bank trusts require an annual fee paid to the trustee bank, typically USD $500–$700/year depending on the institution. This covers trust administration and required annual renewals.Do I pay capital gains when selling?
Yes. Capital gains (ISR) apply to property sales in Mexico. However, exemptions exist for primary residences and for certain seller profiles. We refer you to a qualified fiscal advisor for your specific situation.Can I use the property as a vacation rental?
Yes. Mexico allows short-term rentals. Popular platforms like Airbnb and VRBO operate freely. Some communities or HOAs have restrictions — we always disclose these upfront before purchase.Can I live in Mexico as a property owner?
Property ownership doesn't automatically grant residency. However, owning property can support a residency visa application. We can refer you to trusted immigration specialists.Can I make renovations or build on my property?
Yes, subject to local zoning and construction permits. Coastal properties may have environmental restrictions (ZOFEMAT). Our team connects you with local architects and municipal authorities.Is it safe to buy in Mexico's coastal areas?
Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, and Los Cabos are among Mexico's safest regions, with world-class infrastructure and large international communities. We work exclusively in areas we would invest in ourselves.How do I protect my investment?
Proper due diligence includes a title search, verification of no liens, checking for ejido land restrictions, and working with a reputable notary and attorney. Our team handles all of this for you.What happens to my property if I pass away?
Properties held in a fideicomiso can designate beneficiaries, allowing seamless transfer without going through Mexican probate. This is one of the key protections a trust provides for foreign buyers.We're Here to Help
