La Ventana

Are you thinking of buying land or home in beautiful La Ventana?   Southern Baja has long attracted serious adventure travelers seeking to enjoy it's abundant natural resources.    Only 30 minutes from La Paz, the beautiful bay of La Ventana has been attracting kiteboarders, windsurfers, kayakers, fishermen, divers and nature lovers to it's pristine sandy shores and secluded beaches for as long as I can remember. 

Can I own property in Mexico? YES

Foreigners may obtain direct ownership of property in the interior of Mexico.  But, under Mexican law, foreigners cannot acquire direct ownership of residential property within the area 100 kilometers from the border and 50 kilometers from the coastline.  This area is know as the restricted zone.  Buying a property in the restricted zone is acquired through a "Mexican bank trust", known as a fideicomiso. The term for a fideicomiso is 50 years and can be renewed.  The fideicomiso allows you to pass the property to your heirs without probate.  You may build, tear down existing structures, remodel, rent, lease or sell at any time.   

Property acquired for commercial use by foreigners may be owned without the need for a bank trust, provided the property is held in a Mexican corporation.

Real estate transactions in Mexico are "closed" by a Notario Publico, an official highly respected government lawyer who acts as a neutral intermediary.  The notary is responsible for formalizaton of the final real estate contract, collection of transfer and capital gains taxes, and recordation of the transfer with the Public Registry.

A foreigner seeking to purchase property in Mexico should seek professional advice before proceeding.  I work with trustworthy, qualified professionals who will guide you through the entire buying process, answer any questions or concerns you may have, prior to purchasing.
