Americans invest more in Mexico than in any other country — drawn by its safety, ease of ownership, and proven returns. With Deelum Concepts, Forbes-recognized and trusted as Mexico’s leading American developer, investing becomes both effortless and profitable.

Can Americans Buy Real Estate in Mexico?

Yes — and they already do. Americans invest billions of dollars every year into Mexico’s booming real estate market, particularly in luxury coastal destinations like Tulum, Cancun, Los Cabos, and Puerto Vallarta. For many, it’s both a lifestyle dream and a proven investment strategy.

How It Works

Because Mexico’s Constitution restricts direct foreign ownership within 31 miles of the coast and 62 miles of the border, most Americans buying beachfront homes use one of two safe, legal structures:

  • Fideicomiso (Bank Trust): A Mexican bank holds the title in trust, but you are the sole beneficiary. You control the property fully — buy, sell, rent, inherit, or improve just like any owner.
  • Mexican Corporation: Often used for investors purchasing multiple properties or operating rental businesses.

Both structures have been in place for decades and are widely used by individuals, Fortune 500 companies, and international hotel groups.

What It Costs

  • Fideicomiso setup: $1,500–$2,000 USD (one-time)
  • Annual fideicomiso fee: $500–$800 USD per year
  • Closing costs: 5–7% of purchase price (similar to the U.S.)

Why It’s Safe

  • Fideicomisos are backed by Mexico’s top banks (HSBC, Santander, Banorte).
  • All sales are notarized and registered in the Public Registry of Property.
  • Billions flow safely each year from U.S. and international buyers into Mexico’s luxury markets.
