Are Foreigners Allowed to Purchase Real Estate in Mexico?

If you have been wondering whether or not you, as a foreigner, can buy property in Mexico then the quick and easy answer is yes. Foreigners can buy real estate in Mexico even if the land is in an area near the coast or foreign borders (areas considered federal zones).You may have heard that this is not the case, but that is merely a common misconception caused by the fact that foreigners who wish to purchase land or property within 31 miles of the coast and/or 62 miles of Mexico’s international borders must use a fideicomiso land trust in order to make their purchase legal. You will be pleased to read that the process of getting a fideicomiso land trust is quite straight forward and easy, and is a common service offered by many banks in Mexico.

Fideicomisos and Bank Trust Institutions

If non-Mexican citizens buy land or real estate in Mexico within the restricted federal zones, such as the popular beach destinations of Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit or Cabo San Lucas, a trust deed must be established with a Mexican national or institution (such as a bank). This institution then acts as a trustee on behalf of the foreigner wishing to purchase real estate in Mexico. While the bank acts as an intermediary, the benefactor (the foreign buyer) holds all the rights associated with ownership. In other words, the person who does the investing controls all the rights to the trust while the trustee oversees and manages the trust, and you enjoy the rights to occupy, rent, bequeath, and/or sell your real estate in Mexico.

Renewable Bank Trusts

Initially the term of a Fideicomiso bank trust when buying real estate in Mexico as a foreigner is fifty years, renewable for a further fifty year term in perpetuity. If you choose to sell your property to a Mexican national the trust can be terminated, but if you sell to another foreigner it can simply be transferred. Of course the foreigner purchasing your property can set up their own fideicomiso if they wish to.

Appointing Beneficiaries for real estate in Mexico

Upon the finalization of the trust you will have to appoint a beneficiary/beneficiaries to receive all the rights of the trust should you pass away before the end of the 50 year lifetime of the trust. This takes away the stress of your heirs needing to follow any probate proceedings with the Mexican courts should you pass away unexpectedly. This will save them time and money, but more importantly, it will be one less thing to worry about if the worst came to pass.

Law of Attraction and Second Home Hunting

Why not use the law of attraction and positive thinking to help you find the best second home for you and your family. Here are some tips to help you with your second home hunting using the power of the laws of the universe to guide you.

Like Attracts Like

According to the popular law of attraction, like attracts like. What this means is that you attract what you are thinking about, and attract experiences that make you feel similar to how you usually feel. Therefore, the first step in successful second home hunting is to start imagining and thinking about your dream home rather than focussing on what you don’t like about your current place of residence or lifestyle.

Make a vision or mood board

Collect pictures and images from magazines that represent how you would like your second home to be. Make a detailed collage with these images and imagine yourself enjoying all of the benefits of your second home. For example, add a picture of the view from your bedroom, the type of bathroom you would like to have and the amenities you wish to enjoy like a pool or spa. Be sure to put a picture of you and your family smiling in the center of the vision board.

Mantras

Choose a few of mantras that keep you on track when searching for your second home: “My dream home is waiting for me;” or “When I am happy, my dream home will manifest.” The idea is that when you are happy and vibrating on a higher frequency, you can allow the things you want to manifest into your reality.

Celebrate even the smallest signs

Remember to celebrate each step you make towards finding your dream second home. Even if the residence you find is out of your budget, celebrate the fact that you have manifested it into your reality and work on manifesting the resources to pay for it.

Follow your hunches

The law of attraction can work in mysterious ways, so it is always worthwhile following up on your hunches even when you think that the property is too expensive or too far away etc. You never know who you might meet or what piece of information you might receive to help you find the perfect second home for you and your family.

Riviera Nayarit’s Pueblo Magico

Mexico’s famed beach resort towns of Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas continuously attracts visitors from all over the world. Impressive beach settings and countless commercial establishments that offer fun and entertainment are their major selling points. What many don’t know, however, is that Mexico has other cultural attractions that will surely charm and enchant visitors as well as those lucky enough to make Mexico their second home – Pueblos Magicos.

Riviera Nayarit - Pueblo Magico

Pueblos Mágicos

Pueblos Magicos (magical towns) are classified quaint villages that offer a glimpse of the country’s rich culture and tradition. The Mexican Secretary of Tourism has endorsed around 80 towns throughout Mexico with the “Pueblo Magico” seal of approval to guide visitors to find new and exciting ways of discovering Mexico and its great people.

Pueblos magicos are selected towns that are rich history and cultural heritage. It’s a program that was started in 2001 and acknowledges places like San Sebastian del Oeste, a quaint town located just over an hour from Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta A 1605 mining town, San Sebastian showcases the Mexican way of life and the traditional means of its people. Every visitor’s heart and emotions will be touched and mesmerized, and it’s within easy reach of your home away from home at Villa La Estancia Residences.

A perfect day trip from Villa La Estancia, San Sebastian del Oeste pueblo magico offers a variety of activities. Its beautiful landscape that is surrounded entirely by the picturesque Sierra Madre Mountains is a scene changer for anyone whose busy life centers around the city. One can simply walk around and view old buildings which are great examples of traditional colonial architecture or sit in the town’s tree lined plaza people watching.

If you are feeling a little more energetic, you can take a hike to the nearby Cerro de la Bufa and be with the company of clouds while the dusk provide a stunning sunset drama unfolding right before your eyes. For coffee lovers, visit Quinta Mary and have a taste of a purely organic coffee and a chance to see the meticulous production process it undergoes. Experience a different kind of experience where the contemporary blends with the traditional, taking visitors back in time a hundred years or more.

Today, San Sebastian is a home to just 600 inhabitants, a far cry from what used to be 20,000 population sustained through a thriving mining industry. Nowadays you can simply sit back and sit idly in a wooden chair admiring the overall appeal of this stunning town. The next time you visit Riviera Nayarit, take the time to explore San Sebastian and you’ll never forget the magical experience it will bring.

Finding a Dream Home in Mexico

A lot of people ponder the possibility of making their dream home in Mexico but think that it is too difficult or are put off by the seeming language barrier. Thankfully, the reality of finding your dream home in Mexico is somewhat easier than you might think.

There are a variety of dream homes available to match a diversity of budgets, styles, and luxury pursuits in Mexico. If you are looking for your dream home in Mexico, all you need to do is some research, locate the right broker, and follow your gut. The following steps will help start you on your way to finding your dream home in Mexico.

Makes Sure the Location Matches your Lifestyle

Before you buy anything, you need to determine what type of dream home and environment best suits you. This means you must decide how big your home needs to be and what type of weather you are willing to tolerate all year. One big plus about Mexico is the moderate temperatures. So, the climate will feel either like spring or summer in specific locations, and you don’t have to worry about winter weather if you choose intelligently. Also, keep in mind the type of activities you like to do in your community. Do you like to fish? Go golfing? Dining out? Go Salsa Dancing? Shop at farmers’ markets, etc.? These are some of the things you should consider while deciding where you want to reside.

For example, Nuevo Vallarta in Riviera Nayarit, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas are ideal spots for those who like the finer things in life: art galleries, farmer’s markets, vibrant expat neighborhood, diving, whale watching, fine gourmet restaurants, and luxurious golf courses.

Find a Good Real Estate Agent you Like

Locate an established real estate agent with great references, and find out if the agent is a member of the Asociación de Profesionales Inmobiliarios, A.C (AMPI). An AMPI real estate agent in Mexico will be highly familiar with the pros and cons of getting a home in Mexico and should be able to provide information on new real estate projects and houses that are for sale. Your agent will help you successfully close the sale and assist you with the particulars involved in buying your dream home in Mexico.

Visit First

Very few people will buy a property without having seen it, unless you are purchasing bricks and mortar for your investment portfolio rather than to live in. A try and buy visit is a good way to simulate the experience of living in the communities you are considering for your Mexican dream home. A few of the property developers will grant permission for you to reside at the residence temporarily so you can get a feel of the property before making a final decision to buy.

Watch the Media

Scan local newspapers and subscribe to real estate newsletters to locate currently available properties.

Trust your Instincts and follow your heart

And last but not least, always trust your instincts when deciding to buy your dream home. Pay attention to your suspicions and ask for clarification when you are uncertain about certain property particulars. Try not to get caught up in hard sell deals because you will recognize your dream home as soon as you step foot into it.

Full Ownership, Riviera Nayarit

Enjoy Luxury Full and Fractional Deeded Property in Banderas Bay

Revel in the beauty of luxury full and fractional deeded real estate in Banderas Bay, Mexico. You can now take ownership of properties either in full or in fractional deeded shares for the best high end properties in Banderas Bay. You no longer will have to worry about making a reservation when you own a piece of this luxury beach destination in Mexico.

Own a property at Villa La Estancia Residences for just two months, a season or maybe you wish to be able to visit any time you like throughout the year. No matter whether you choose full or fractional deeded property, your investment is for an entire lifetime and beyond at Villa La Estancia, just like any bricks and mortar investment. The equity that you hold will be all yours to either rent out to others, sell, or live in as much as you want.

Fractional Deeded Property in Banderas Bay

Even though it can be easy to realize what the responsibilities and advantages are relating to owning a second home, there is a bit of confusion on what fractional deeded property means. To begin with, it should not be confused with residence club memberships and timeshares, although there are similarities. If you own a fractional asset of a property, you hold the deed for this fraction. For Villa La Estancia this can be either 1/8 or ¼. This purchase becomes part of your own estate that you have for life and can be left in a will.

Villa la Estancia Real Estate — Villa La Estancia Residences One Bedroom Suite

Consider Villa La Estancia Residences for Luxury Living in Banderas Bay

Strike a compromise between the convenience of renting and buying a second home with fractional deeded property ownership. A big difference exists in comparison to renting – you will not have to pay a landlord. The same way as you would with a full ownership, you are able to rent, sell, include in a will, or donate the property. Your investment also has a chance to appreciate.

Will I Be a Good Candidate for a Fractional Ownership?

Do you absolutely love Banderas Bay, including Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta? If so, you may be a perfect candidate for a property investment there. Owning a second (or third or fourth) home, even a fractional deeded property means that you can return as often as you wish and live your dream. People who want to buy a residence overseas yet who may only visit it a couple of times each year will benefit the most from fractional purchases. Also, individuals who would like to give living in Banderas Bay a try before they commit to owning the residence outright and people who want to have ownership of a luxury property will be able to benefit.

Top Notch Real Estate

Villa La Estancia Residences are among the top locations for luxury real estate properties in Banderas Bay. There are amazing penthouses and huge 2 and 3 bedroom condominiums from which you can choose to purchase for both full and fraction deeded ownership. There are gorgeous views of the ocean from each of the properties, and every one of them also has spacious interiors with a touch of elegance. Furthermore, you will have access to the facilities of the 5 star resort, such as the Nuevo Vallarta’s beach, onsite gourmet restaurants, an award-winning spa, resort activities, pools, room service and more.

It is important to note that there are a limited number of these full and fractional deeded properties available. Villa La Estancia Residences is open to exclusive clientele who would love to take advantage of the luxurious options. Are you prepared to invest in your dreams?
