FOREIGN BUYER FAQ

Can foreigners legally buy real estate in Playa del Carmen and Tulum?

Yes. Foreign buyers can legally purchase and hold residential land, condos, and luxury villas in Playa del Carmen and Tulum through a Mexican bank trust called a fideicomiso. The bank acts as trustee while the buyer holds full beneficial ownership rights to sell, lease, remodel, or pass the property to heirs. For developer presales in Playa del Carmen and Tulum, buyers typically secure favorable staged payment schedules tied to construction milestones. Always work with an independent Mexican notary (notario público) and legal counsel.
