Trust versus Corporation; Playa del CarmenBuying Real Estate in Mexico: Fideicomiso or Mexican Corporation?

It is well known that when buying real estate in the Riviera Maya, the law provides that since it is a restricted zone, foreign investors must incorporate a transfer of dominion trust to a bank. Nevertheless, the law itself permits a Mexican corporation with foreign owners to acquire the property in a restricted zone. The ambiguity, along with the idea of reducing costs, has caused a great number of real estate deals to be made through Mexican corporations.

Ejido Land in Playa del Carmen
It is common in the Riviera Maya to find the legal concept of EJIDO (Mexican rural land tenure institution held in common) in Playa del Carmen, as well as in the neighboring town of Tulum. In most of the cases this kind of land holding is confusing for foreign investors as well as Mexican nationals.

Promotion and consequent sale of Ejido land is quite appealing for foreign investment. Nevertheless not knowing the law in this regard, has resulted in several illegal and unsuccessful transactions that risk the assets of those acquiring this kind of real estate in our area.

Buying Real Estate in Mexcio

 

Some advice on how to circumnavigate the real esate market in Mexcio.

For some Americans and Canadians, Mexico has been home sweet home for more than 20 years. These are the lucky few who got "in" before Mexico became mainstream.

Condos and Condominiums in Playa del CarmenRiviera Maya: A Developers Dream Come True- Playa del Carmen Mortgage Watch

As the saying goes, if you wish something with enough fervor, it just might become a reality!

Since we first started working in the mortgage business in Playa del Carmen, we have been asked from developers in the region for a product that would allow them to sell their inventory without the "strenuous" condo regime requirements.

Playa del Carmen Beach from El Faro

By Shawn Bandick

An update from One Stop Real Esate in Playa del Carmen.

In this letter I want to cover a little about the reality of hurricanes, who is coming to invest in Mexico, and why.

As you know Hurricane Dean passed to the South of Playa through the Majahual area causing extensive damage to the cruise ship facility and many structures on the beach front. One Stop took a truck load of food and clothing down to Bacalar and Buena Vista a week after the hurricane, and Bacalar looked like Playa after Wilma in 2005.
