Can Foreigners Buy Property in Mexico? (Yes – Here’s How)
Many believe foreigners can’t own land near the coast in Mexico. But that’s a myth.
Thanks to the fideicomiso (real estate trust), you can legally buy, rent, sell, and pass down property—even in Riviera Maya, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Cancún.
🔐 What Is a Fideicomiso?
A fideicomiso is a bank-held trust (HSBC, Banorte, or Scotiabank) that allows foreigners to own property in restricted zones—within 50 km of the coast or 100 km of borders.The bank is the legal owner, but you are the beneficiary—meaning you control all rights: use, rent, sell, or leave it to heirs.
The trust is renewable every 50 years—practically permanent.
Fully recognized by the Mexican government and courts.
💡 Fun Fact: The fideicomiso was created in 1973 to attract foreign investment—and it works.
At DS Investment Solutions, I handle the entire fideicomiso process for you—from application to notary signing—so you never have to worry.
