As
with any real estate transaction, investors should be knowledgable about
Mexico's real estate financing practices. Real estate purchases in
Mexico by U.S. citizens once was a major barrier to Mexican
investments. But that has changed and new business and investment
opportunities are now available to United States and Canadian citizens.
Now,
more investment opportunites to own Mexican property are possible.
Mortgages, home loans, properties and land can now be easily be
purchased. The Mexico real estate financing industry is going full steam
ahead.

"The
first Mexican RMBS deal successfully debuted in December 2003, pricing
at a record low of 5.00% fixed interest rate." said credit analyst Juan
Pablo De Mollein, an associate director in Standard & Poor's Latin
America Structured Finance Ratings group in New York
This favorable pricing suggests a wider acceptance of, and demand for, structured finance debt by domestic investors."
In terms of volume, number of deals, and asset classes, 2003 was a record year," said Mr. De Mollein. (ref: Find Articles).
But, just as purchasing property in the U.S., Europe or Canada, the investor must take all precautions. especially title insurance. Investors should use a licensed Mexican and U.S. real estate agents, attorneys and accountants.

professional help, and title insurance, you can better assure that the
seller holds a clear title. Require that all documents be translated
