Buying Property as a Canadian or American

For Americans or Canadians considering real estate in Cabo, what should you know before purchasing? Are there any important legal, financial, or ownership issues to research beforehand?

Americans and Canadians should understand that buying property in Mexico involves different legal and ownership rules than at home. In coastal areas, foreign buyers commonly use a bank trust, so it’s important to review the structure with a qualified Mexican attorney. I’d also research closing costs, taxes, HOA fees, insurance, and financing options.

Would you recommend getting independent legal and tax advice before making an offer? I’d rather understand the ownership structure and all extra costs first.

Yes, independent advice is worthwhile. A local attorney can explain the trust, contracts, taxes, and closing requirements so there are fewer surprises.
