Can Foreigners Purchase Real Estate?
A common question that gets asked is, “Is it possible to own property in Mexico and how does that work?” The great news is YES as a foreigner traveling or living in Mexico you can purchase property through what is known as a Bank-Trust or Fideicomiso in Spanish. A Bank Trust is an agreement where the bank acts as a trustee and manages the ownership of the land along with any improvements and names the purchaser or anybody you choose to be as the beneficiary.
Bank Trusts are written for up to 50 years and they are renewable for any number of additional 50-year periods. If you assume an existing Bank Trust, make sure that there are enough years left in the trust that is satisfactory to you. There is annual fee for a bank trust which varies depending on the bank from $400-$800.
