Buying Real Estate in Rocky Point

First, we will touch on buying real estate in Rocky Point. There are two common questions that we get about buying Real Estate in Rocky Point. First, is it difficult to buy Real Estate in Rocky Point? Second, is it safe to buy Real Estate in Rocky Point? It is NOT difficult to buy real estate in Rocky Point, and your investment is safe. Naturally, as with any investment stateside or out of the country, it is advised that you do your home work before making any investment decisions, and you invest at your own risk.

For more than 30 years now Mexico's Foreign Investment Law has been changed to allow non-Mexican citizens the ability to acquire coastal and border property. The property is acquired through trusts that are established with a Mexican bank. In 1993 this law was amended to extend the term of the trust to 50 years, renewable for additional 50 year periods.

This initiative was designed solely to help facilitate ownership of Mexican real estate by non-Mexicans, and to protect foreign owners rights. Under this trust set-up, the bank holds the deed to the property for you. Your property is not part of the bank's assets and cannot be subject to a lien or attached to bank obligations. You have all ownership rights to the property. The trust is not a lease.

Trusts are renewable at any time by a simple application. A common misunderstanding is that the Government takes the property back at the end of the trust period. This is not the case and is not the  intent of this policy. For more information, please see a real estate professional who is experienced in buying real estate in Rocky Point.
