Great vid! I help so many Canadians moving to Mexico with their nonresident Canadian tax implications. It’s amazing to see how Canadians are diversifying globally.

Lots to do here for sure. I see in the last year more than 12% of Canadian are investing here, Riviera Maya .Of course due diligence it must and so been a realtor in Canada and in Mexico with license help a lot. :) Darren i saw you at multi conference 2024, sorry i miss to say hi.

Very useful and well done video, especially from a Canadian's perspective!!

Pls clarify: 21k revenue, less 6k condo fee (including property tax?) = 15k, net income. I hope it's a gorgeous development for $500 condo fee / month is quite high I think.

Guys, do not believe that a trust will protect your investment in Mexico. I purchased a home there and married a Mexican citizen after. We divorced two years ago, she is now suing me for 50% of my property. Despite numerous court appearances, Banco Monex, which initially assured me of the property's security, is now requiring me to defend my ownership

Interesting but I think it is a bit optimistic in terms of rental returns. What are the costs of renting the apartment in terms of property management costs, unit turns, administration fees, bank trust fees, and taxes? I imagine there is ongoing attorney and accountant expenses to ensure compliance with Mexican rental and tax laws. I have also seen other videos that claim you must be a permanent resident to legally make income in Mexico.

@@DarrenVoros plus I think that guy on the right, is a permanent resident in Mexico. I don't see it being logical to be temporary resident and own property. Best become a permanent resident. But it takes time and money . You can probably do it as a temporary resident too , it just takes money .

real estate in Mexico is usually traded in pesos. In the real tourist areas where both the buyer and seller are not Mexican they might trade in USD if both parties agree.

@therealestatepuzzle4966

Жыл бұрын

It looks like the developer and bank decided to sell in USD. I’m guessing most of buyers were Americans and Canadians so that would be more comfortable for the buyers. The buyers don’t have to worry about changes in exchange between contracting and closing.

Do you need a temporary/permanent/work visa to rent it out to people? (Wouldn't it be considered commercial activity and don't you need a visa for that?)

You need pay taxes for that proporty.

That is the same as the United States. You don't truly own any property in most of the US. If you stop paying the property tax the government takes it from you. You are only renting it from the government.

If the lease is 100 years... what happens when lease term ends?
