Ownership in Mexico - Separating Fact from Fiction

Many rumors are constantly floating around about foreign investors being scammed out of all their money on Mexican real estate.

Owning land in Mexico is no longer sketchy like it was back in the old days. Due to established and well defined rules regarding non-Mexicans owning land, owning property in Mexico is easier and safer than ever. The rules protect foreign ownership rights, and promote foreign investment.

Over the last decade property in Mexico has become a practical investment strategy. Long gone are “promises and handshakes.” Investors are now protected by U.S. title insurance, bonded escrow accounts, extensive title searches, and “Fideicomisos.”

Fideicomisos are the number one way foreign investors are protected.  A Fideicomiso is a safe, almost forever renewable Mexican property trust, which was established especially to protect foreign investors.
