Our Real Estate Experts Have the Answers

Can foreigners legally own property near the beach in Mexico?

Yes, they can—through a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican corporation, depending on the type of use. This is the first question almost every foreign buyer asks.

Is it safe to buy property in Mexico?

Concerns about fraud, shady agents, or unfinished developments are real. Buyers want to know how to protect themselves legally and financially. They usually don’t know what a "notario" does or how due diligence works here.

What are the total closing costs and ongoing fees?

They’re often surprised to learn that closing costs range from 6% to 9% of the purchase price and that there are annual fideicomiso and property tax fees, even if they’re low by U.S./Canadian standards.

Can I rent out the property on Airbnb or VRBO?

The vacation rentals market in Riviera Maya is booming. Many respectable property management companies are established in the area to help you manage your condo or home and earn income while you're away.

Can I finance the property or use my IRA/retirement funds?

Foreign financing options are limited, so buyers are curious about cash deals, seller financing, and creative structures like using a Self-Directed IRA LLC.

Thanks to Dave Costa we were able to sell two condos in Playa Del Carmen. There were some extenuating circumstances and Dave and his team were very knowledgeable and trustworthy!!! They were available and responsive during the long distance process. We would not hesitate to engage their services in the future. Connie B

David helped us purchase a condo in Playa Del Carmen, and it couldn't have been any easier! We live in the USA so we needed someone we can trust to negotiate on our behalf and he delivered...

David Costa was my real estate agent in 2020 when I bought my condominium. He is very knowledgeable about local law and policies. The closing went smooth and David was available to answer any and all questions. I am currently thinking of placing my home on the market and if so I would ask David Costa to handle the sale. I’ve been a resident in Playa Del Carmen now for 11 years.

My wife and I had the opportunity to work with Dave to sell our property in Playa del Carmen. Since we live in the United States and needed to have Dave execute everything on our behalf, we were both impressed with his expertise and so greatful for his diligence. We were worried that we would not be a priority since we weren't there to oversee the process. Once we contacted Dave those worries vanished. We knew we had the right guy to handle our affairs and we were updated all the time which made us feel relaxed and in good hands. The transaction went very smoothly and quickly. We are using him again for another transaction and it is a great feeling to know that we don't need to be there to feel like we're there. We highly recommend Dave and his team. Seriously when dealing with an international purchase you have no idea what you DON'T know. Dave knows Mexican law and understands how to navigate through the hurdles. We trust Dave and so should you.

Dave was the first realtor in Playa that actually took his time with us. He devoted an entire day and showed us many properties. He saved the best until last, and it is now our winter home. Thank you Dave for your hard work and perseverance with us!!! Vivo Mexico 🇲🇽

As an American and a first time buyer in Mexico, there is a lot that you need to understand when you buy in Mexico. The process can be intimidating and requires great communication. Working with Jun and Dave was a breath of fresh air. After talking to multiple agents and companies in Mexico and feeling underwhelmed with the information we were given, we got in touch with Best Deal Mexico where Dave and Jun set up a zoom meeting to talk with us about our needs, concerns, and the process. We traveled to Playa and spent a day looking at various properties where we eventually settled on a property and put in an offer. The communication from Jun was excellent throughout the process. The information and guidance was invaluable and made for a very smooth process. I would highly recommend using Best Deal Mexico and Jun!

Last year my husband and I became interested in purchasing an investment property in Mexico. We reside in Canada and found a realtor that ultimately referred us to Dave and Jun of Best Deal Mexico Real Estate. Although I had my eyes set on a specific property Jun and Dave took a lot of time over zoom to find out what our goals were and what steps we should take before we book a trip to view properties in person. They simply did not allow me to start the purchasing process without seeing other properties. Once we arrived, we were met with Jun who was prepared and organized to show us all the properties we spoke about previously. She spent 3 full days driving us to each property and organized sales meetings, tours and translated all the information we needed to know. We were able to discuss openly and honestly about each property, Jun always was able to provide valuable information and insight. We decided to purchase a property while we were on this trip, Dave and Jun were able to help us through the process and connected us with good options for a lawyer. Jun and Dave have been a part of this process from the beginning and currently, even though our purchase is somewhat completed (we purchased a pre build) we are still very much in touch. Jun and Dave have not stopped communicating, we get frequent updates on our property, we also have become friends with plans to visit this year! I couldn’t think of better people to do business with. Best Deal Mexico Real Estate is where you will find people who truly care about you and your interests. Thank you Jun and Dave 🤍
