Podcast 016: Insider Tips for Buying Property in Mexico: What Every Buyer Should Know

In this episode of Dream Retirement in Mexico, hosts Risa Morimoto and Taniel Chemsian provide valuable insight for prospective buyers interested in purchasing property in Mexico. They stress the importance of considering rental potential when making a purchase as this is a common way for people to make income while they are not staying at their property, especially when they are not full time residents in Mexico. 

While other regions also rent well, they may not have the same rental occupancy rates. They emphasize on the need for a reliable and experienced team when navigating real estate transactions, including a real estate agent, attorney, and suitable notary for the closing. 

They discuss the differences between buying property in Mexico compared to North America, and recommend using an MLS system when possible to ensure reliable listings.  Not all areas in Mexico use the MLS system.  They also provide important information about the process of closing property deals and the restrictions for foreigners buying property in the restricted zone. 

Here is a video that gives more insight into a closing that was mentioned in the podcast:
