How
invest in México
Buying in México.
In 1989, regulations were passed to "promote Mexican invest and
regulate foreign investment". just recently, those regulations also
became law and included significant and beneficial changes. The most
beneficial change increased the length of the renewable trusts to 50
years. Now foreign owners can extend their trusts for an indefinite
number of 50 year terms. The relaxed political environment has given
non-Mexicans their real access to pristine coastal property.
As a
result of Mexico's commitment to tourism, and the recent relaxation of
its foreign investment law, properties in Mexico are expected to
develop at a rapid pace. What once may have been seen as a coplex form
of property ownership is quickly becoming familiar to non-Mexican
buyers..

Here are some frequently asked questions about buying
property in Mexico:
Q: I have always
heard non-Mexicans cannot buy law has property in Mexico. Is this true?
No. While it was once true, Prior to 1973, foreigners were not allowed
to hold legal title or to exercise direct titles to real property in an
area located within 64 milles of Mexico's borders and 32 milles of its
coastlines, but laws passed in 1973 and 1993 have made it possible for
foreigners, foreign firms and Mexican firms with foreign participation
to acquire interests in coastal real estate through a bank trust
(fideicomiso).
Q: Who is involved in this bank trust?
Three parties, the seller of the property is the trustor. The bank is the trustee (fiduciario), and the buyer, or beneficiary, is the fideicomisario.
Q: How does the trust operate?
Title to the property is transfered to a trust to a Mexican bank acting as trustee. The trust agreement is formalized by the issuance of a permit from the Mexican ministry of foreign affairs. The lot or home buyer is designated as a beneficiary in the trust and the beneficiary rights are recorded in the public record by a notary public.
Q: What are my rights as a buyer?
You have the right to use, lease, improve or sell your property without restriction. You may also transfer your rights to a third party, or pass it on to named heirs.
Q: Is the trust renewable?
Yes. According to the foreign investment law passed in 1993, trusts can be renewed for an indefinite number of successive 50 year periods.
Q: How do these procedures work in master planned communities?
In the case of larger master planned communities, the developer establishes a master trust when he purchases the property. Then, individual lot or home buyers are simply designated as beneficiaries in the master trust.
Q: How are closing costs calculated and who pays for them?
Closing costs are determined by the declared value which is usually the same as the sales price. The value becomes the basis for all related taxes and fees. Generally, the seller pays for real estate fees, the buyer is responsible for the transfer tax and the cost or establishing the bank trust ( if it isn't already in existence ), notary fees, registration fees, tax appraisal fees and trust permit fees. The purchaser's total closing costs average between 5 % - 8 % of the purchase price.
Q: How much will i be charged for property taxes?
Mexico's annual property taxes are 25% or the assessed value for tax purposes.
Q: If at a later date, i decide to sell my property, can anyone buy it?
Yes, if the new buyer is also a foreigner, you simply assign your beneficial interest if the new buyer is Mexican, you can instruct the bank to endorse the title in favour of a buyer.
Q: If the buyer is a foreigner, is his interest limited to the balance or my 50 year trust?
No, upon application, a foreign buyer automatically receives his own renewable 50 year permit.
Q: Do many foreigners currently own coastal property in Mexico?
Today, thousands of foreign owners enjoy their Oceanside property, many have benefited from property appreciation.

HOW FOREIGNERS CAN OWN REAL ESTATE IN MEXICO
ALTERNATIVES
It
is a common misconception that foreigners cannot own Real Estate in
Mexico, but reality is that they can. However, there is a restrictive
zone, as described below, and we have to consider the following
alternatives:
Outside the Restricted Zone, a foreigner or
foreign corporation can acquire any type of real estate as any Mexican
National, holding the property as a direct owner complying with Mexican
law.
Within the Restricted Zone, a foreigner or foreign corporation may
obtain all the rights of ownership but it must be in a bank trust,
known as Fideicomiso.
Another alternative is to purchase non-residential property through a
Mexican corporation which can be, under certain conditions, 100%
foreign-owned, with a provision in its by-laws that the foreigner
accept to be subjected to Mexican laws and agree not to invoke the laws
of their own country.
Also, the real estate acquired is to be registered with the Foreign
Affairs Ministry and is used for non-residential activities. In other
words, under said conditions, foreigners can acquire, directly,
properties destined for tourist, commercial and industrial use.
THE RESTRICTED ZONE
The Mexican Constitution regulates the ownership of the land established that "... in a zone of 100 kilometers along the border or 50 kilometers along the coast, a foreigner cannot acquire the direct ownership of the land". These areas are known as the "Restricted or Prohibited Zones". Nevertheless, the latest Mexican Foreign Investment Law, which became law on December 28, 1993, makes the allowances mentioned above.
FIDEICOMISO OR BANK TRUST
Any
foreigner or Mexican National can constitute a Fideicomiso (the
equivalent to an American beneficial trust) through a Mexican bank in
order to purchase real estate anywhere in Mexico, including the
Restricted Zone, To do so, the buyer requests a Mexican bank of his/her
choice to act as a trustee on his/her behalf.
The bank, as
a matter of normal course, obtains the permit from the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs to acquire the chosen property in trust. The
Fideicomiso can be established for a maximum term of 50 years and can
be automatically renewed for another 50-year period. During these
periods you have the right to transfer the title to any other party,
including a member of your family.
The bank becomes the legal owner of the property for the exclusive use
of the buyer/beneficiary who has all the benefits of a direct owner,
including the possibility of leasing or transferring his/her rights to
the property to a third party or to a preappointed heir. During this
period, the foreigner is considered as a Mexican National.
The trustee is responsible to the buyer/ beneficiary to ensure precise
fulfillment to the trust, according to Mexican Law, assuming full
technical, legal and administrative supervision in order to protect the
interests of the buyer/beneficiary. Fideicomisos are not held by the
trustee as an asset of the bank.
For practical purposes, even in unrestricted zones many foreigners, and
Mexican Nationals for that matter, prefer to hold their property under
a Fideicomiso

THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY
STATUS
The
real estate industry in Mexico is similar in many ways, when compared
to that of the United States, which is most probably the most advanced
in the world. It is developing quickly, taking advantage of
today´s
technology. However, Mexico seems to be paralleling the system as it
exists in the U.S.
The only national professional real
estate organization in Mexico is the "Asociación Mexicana de
Profesionales Inmobiliarios" or "A.M.P.I." (Mexican Association of Real
Estate Professionals) with 24 chapters in 398 cities. This organization
is somewhat similar to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) in
the United States.
LICENSING
At this time, there are no Government license laws regulating real estate brokerage and sales in Mexico. Anybody can, in effect, offer properties for sale and, therefore, caution should be taken to search out for an established and reputable real estate company. A potential buyer may want to check with the local Chamber of Commerce Associations or prominent law firm, there is a optional Federal Certification that its now in place and this is the closest there is to a license, so now you now which REALTOR is up to date on all the legal aspects of the real estate transactions in Mexico but be sure your REALTOR is a Profesional Inmobiliario Certificado® ( P.I.C.).
FINANCING
Historically,
due to lack of capital markets and high Mexican interest rates, most
transactions were made in cash. In 1993 and 1994, the Mexican economy
picked up to such an extent that annual inflation went down to one
digit and interest rates were more or less accessible.
Banks introduced attractive mortgage programs and, consequently, sales
proliferated throughout Mexico, Due to the devaluation in December
1994, the present situation has reverted and the few banks that offer
mortgages do so at such high variable interest rates that very few
buyers are in a position to take advantage of them.
The future of financing in Mexico is moving towards a secondary
mortgage market, which should open up international financing resources
to possible desirable mortgages at reasonable rates. For foreign
investors, however, this devaluation has created some excellent values
for real estate purchases utilizing foreign funds. We expect during the
next year or two that outside financing will be brought into Mexico for
mortgage purposes.
A couple of electronic multiple listing services (MLS) are now operating in Mexico, this service will soon be widely offered with the state of the art technology, measuring up to the highest standards found in the United States.
ESCROW, TITLE INSURANCE AND HOME INSURANCE
It
is the Notario Público who, in effect, acts as a "Holding
agent" for
the involved parties and for this reason there are few escrow companies
in Mexico.
At the present time there is no general use of
title insurance in Mexico, although some American companies are
providing coverage in some resort areas of the country. On the other
hand, insurance companies do provide full home coverage - throughout
Mexico.
SEARCH
To find the required property, be it for lease or for purchase, it is advisable to contact a reputable real estate company or a relocation firm. Otherwise, be prepared to go house hunting by combing the desired areas on the lookout for lease signs or by going through all classified advertisements in the newspapers. Be sure to use brokers benefiting from a MLS System.
