Foreign Investment & Buying Process Overview
Mexico offers a legally protected and well-established framework for foreign real estate investment, making coastal communities such as Boca de Tomatlán attractive for international buyers seeking long-term value, rental income, or appreciation.
Foreigners are legally permitted to purchase property in Mexico. The ownership structure depends on the property’s location
Within restricted Zones (coastal and border areas): Property is acquired through a Mexican bank trust (fideicomiso) or a Mexican legal entity if structured for commercial use.
(more than 50 km from the coast or 100 km from international borders): Property may be purchased directly in the buyer’s name.
Boca de Tomatlán is located within the restricted coastal zone, making the fideicomiso the standard and most widely used ownership structure for foreign buyers.
A full legal review is conducted to identify any liens, encumbrances, or obligations tied to the property.
Agreements can be signed in person or electronically using secure platforms such as DocuSign.
