- The Mexican Constitution establishes a restricted zone extending 100 km along borders and 50 km along coastlines.
- Residency
- Property investment of ~$220,000 USD (amount varies by exchange rate) can qualify you for Temporary Residency.
- Taxes and closing costs
- They depend on the state, the municipality and the property itself, so there is no single national figure. Ask the agent or our Concierge for an estimate on this home.
- Financing
- Financing for foreign buyers exists, but depends on the lender, residency, income, credit profile, down payment, location and property type.
