For foreign buyers
Buying property in Mexico as a foreigner
Buying in Mazatlán as a foreigner is simpler than it looks — and completely legal and secure. Here's exactly how it works, step by step.
The fideicomiso (bank trust)
Foreigners buy in the coastal zone through a bank trust that gives you full rights to use, rent, sell and inherit. We set it up for you.
Financing or cash
Most foreign buyers pay cash; some use cross-border or developer financing. We explain the real options and costs.
Closing costs
Budget roughly 4–8% on top of price: acquisition tax, notary, appraisal and registration. We break it down before you commit.
Closing & keys
A Mexican notary formalizes the deed and registers it. You receive the keys with full legal certainty.
The fideicomiso is regulated by Mexican law and supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; you can review official information on the Government of Mexico portal.
