FOREIGN INVESTOR LEGAL FRAMEWORK

Buying in Mexico

Navigating coastal Mexican real estate with absolute clarity. Backed by years of experience on the Oaxaca Coast, our bilingual advisory structure ensures complete legal security from initial title check to final deed.

PRIMARY RESIDENTIAL

The Fideicomiso Trust

For residential property within 50 km of the coastline, foreigners hold 100% legal rights via a 50-year renewable bank trust. You can sell, lease, remodel, and inherit freely.

Key Distinction: Full equity ownership backed by premier Mexican financial institutions.

COMMERCIAL & MULTI-UNIT

Mexican Corporation

Foreigners can establish 100% foreign-owned Mexican entities (such as an S.A. de C.V.) to acquire non-residential assets, development parcels, or commercial hospitality ventures directly.

Key Distinction: Direct fee-simple title under commercial law with active tax deductions.

TRANSACTION BUDGETING

Closing Costs & Fees

Expect total closing costs to range between 5% and 8% of the purchase price. This includes transfer tax, Public Registry fees, Foreign Affairs permit, bank setup, and Notario Publico fees.

Key Distinction: Upfront pro-forma cost breakdowns provided before executing any earnest deposit.

COLLABORATION & TITLE

Title & Due Diligence

We verify Escritura Pública (deed) validity, distinguish private title from communal Ejido land, coordinate licensed Notarios, and manage independent cross-border escrow accounts.

FEATURED EDITORIAL : 8 MIN READ

The Fideicomiso Myth: Why “You Don’t Really Own It” In Mexico Is Wrong

I hear a version of this almost every week from a first time buyer. Someone told them foreigners can’t actually own property near the Mexican coast, that a fideicomiso is a workaround, a rental in disguise, something less solid than “real” ownership.

REGIONAL REPORT

Buying Remotely on the Oaxacan Coast, Without Setting Foot on It

A lot of buyers assume purchasing property here requires multiple trips down before closing. It doesn’t, and treating that as a requirement usually just delays a decision that could have been made months earlier.

INFRASTRUCTURE : CONNECTIVITY

The Case for Buying During Low Season in Mexico

Most buyers visit and shop during high season, November through April, when the coast is at its most photogenic and the energy is easiest to fall in love with. That’s also exactly when you’re competing with the most other buyers for the same inventory.

COMMUNITY & INTEGRATION

Why Investors Are Turning Their Attention to the Emerald Coast of Oaxaca

For years, investors looking at Mexico’s coastal real estate market focused on destinations like Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Maya, and more recently, Tulum.

Today, a growing number of savvy investors are looking somewhere else.

CANADIAN HERITAGE : OAXACA SOUL
