About this home
RC6817 - Excellent opportunity for investors; this property is in the early stages of a project designed for room rentals, located in the northern part of Cuernavaca, bordering Rancho Cortés and within the Santa María Ahuacatitlán area, which is known for its pleasant climate, peacefulness, and proximity to major roads leading north and to the city center; there is constant demand for housing due to its location less than 20 minutes from prestigious educational institutions such as the Autonomous University of Morelos, the Swiss School of Mexico, and Marymount Cuernavaca; as well as supermarkets and shopping centers such as Walmart Express, Bodega Aurrera Express, Plaza Averanda, and Galerías Cuernavaca; hospitals such as the IMSS Clinic; banks including BBVA, Banamex, and Santander; and is just 45 minutes from Mexico City. The property currently features a concrete and steel structure that has already been erected (columns, beams, and slabs in rough-cast condition), which represents significant progress compared to a vacant lot and reduces construction time and costs for a project consisting of individual apartments. The existing layout allows for the design of multiple single-occupancy units, each with a full bathroom, taking advantage of the existing levels and structure. The lot retains mature trees, spacious outdoor areas, and a perimeter wall, providing flexibility to integrate common areas with a pool, parking, or green spaces within the project site. Its location within a gated community adds property value, in addition to offering a safe, attractive environment for the student rental market or for whatever project is developed. *Payment terms: A 25% down payment from the buyer’s own funds is required upon signing the preliminary sales agreement, and 75% is due upon signing the deed before a notary. *The prices listed on the website are for cash transactions and do not include notary fees, which may vary depending on the notary’s office chosen for the deed. *Payment must be made with personal funds only.

- Near coasts and borders
- 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.
