Owning property in Mexico is not as difficult as you may think. 

When you are not sure what to ask, dont worry, our experience will guide you through what you need to know!  We get lot's of inquiries daily for such questions like:

"Can foreigners own property in Mexico?" - Yes. In the interior of the country, foreigners can own real estate
(whether lots, land, houses or condos) in fee simple, just like a Mexican. Along the borders and coasts, foreigners receive a special trust deed called a fideicomiso. A Mexican bank is designated as trustee, and the foreign buyer is the Beneficiary. The buyer has complete use and control of the property. Essentially, as a practical matter, it's as if you own the property in fee simple (freehold).

"Is financing available?" - Yes. More and more US lenders are active in Mexico and the Puerto Vallarta real estate market. Terms and rates are competitive  with "second home" rates in the US, and are getting even better as  more underwriters come into the market. Loans are now available to Canadian buyers as well.

"What are local taxes like?" - Taxes are stunningly low. On a million dollar (USD) home you will pay less than $400 USD a year in property taxes. You must pay these very low taxes, because you have the same rights as any owner in Mexico and, it follows, the same obligations as any owner in Mexico.

• There are many excellent choices when purchasing into a Development - You should be extremely cautious about contracting for developer-financed property. It can work well, but you must have an experienced local realtor guide you. Developers vary widely in their skill, integrity, and solvency. Only a local realtor will know the local landscape and players well enough to help you avoid problems.
   
• The realtor/broker you select to represent you should be at a minimum an A.M.P.I. member. A.M.P.I. is a professional association of Mexican realtors, with standards of admittance based on experience, ethics, and knowledge.
