Can foreigners buy property in mexico?
    • Can Foreigners Buy Property in Mexico? (Yes – Here’s How)


    • Many believe foreigners cant own land near the coast in Mexico. But thats a myth.
      Thanks to the fideicomiso (real estate trust), you can legally buy, rent, sell, and pass down propertyeven 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.

      You can assign your pre-construction contract before making the next payment—locking in profit without construction risk.

      A Canadian investor bought a unit in Ocean Village, Playa del Carmen for $938K MXN. By delivery, it was worth $1.16M MXN. She assigned the contract and walked away with $187,000 in profit.
