Investing in Property to build your dream vacation home.
We move to Mexico because of the simplicity of life. The love of the people. The affordability of land and construction. When we cross the border we find an opportunity to re-invent ourselves. To do and be what we did not dare in the old country. So… why not buy a piece of paradise and build your own vacation home. Every house you have ever entered has had good qualities and now you have the opportunity to bring the best of the best together and build a house that represents you with your own needs and dreams. Such an opportunity, por qui no (Why not!)
From beach to mountains, there is a place just right for you in Mexico. There are places where many gringos gather and live near each other. Then there are places that are Mexican and of a definite different flavor.
Generally speaking, Mexican people in the south are fairly reserved; those in the north have a reputation of being more engaging (though they are still more reserved than boisterous gringos). Before purchasing land, begin by renting in your desired location. You’ll quickly learn if you feel comfortable in the area and with the people.

Foreigners can own land in Mexico. If you find property in the restricted zone (within 50 kilometers of the coast or 100 kilometers of the border), you will need to apply for a fideicomiso. In this trust agreement, a Mexican bank takes title to the property. You, as the owner, will still enjoy virtually all rights, including using, selling, and naming a beneficiary to the land. In the interior of Mexico, you can own property in your own name. To do so, you will need to have an escritura (deed) prepared by a Mexican notary public.
The notary public will play a very active role in the purchase of land. In Mexico, all legal documents must be signed before the notary public to be legitimate. Ask yours to check that all debts and necessary payments have been made on the land. If you are purchasing land from a developer, have the notary public affirm that there are permits for development and construction included. Do not sign anything until you have a clear understanding of what the document says.
In addition, consider the following:
1. Avoid purchasing land labeled as “ejido.” This is communal agricultural land and can be a legal headache. It is best to stay away from it.
2. Ask about water, sewer, and electrical connections. If these are not readily available, it can be very expensive to hook them up.
3. Check into city ordinances. Some areas, only allow construction on a certain percentage of the property and issue height limits.
Avoid getting wrapped up in “margarita fever” (initial excitement upon seeing the advantages of living in Mexico). Instead, take the steps one at a time. Do plenty of research, ask questions, and stay away from anything that seems suspicious to you. Pacing yourself throughout the process will help you find land you are ultimately satisfied with.

There is much more to the process and I am here to hold your hand and help you along the way. Here are two pieces of land to wet your appetite.
