How to buy in Romantic Zone
The process is safe and well-established for both Mexican and foreign buyers. Here's the honest version.
Foreign ownership via fideicomiso
Because Romantic Zone is in Mexico's coastal "restricted zone", foreigners own through a bank trust (fideicomiso). It grants full ownership rights — you can sell, rent, remodel and pass the property to your heirs. The annual trust fee runs about US$500–800.
Closing costs of ~5–8%
Budget roughly 5–8% of the purchase price for closing: the acquisition tax, notary (notario público), public registry and trust setup. A qualified notario is legally required and protects both sides of the deal.
How buyers pay
Most buyers pay cash. U.S. and Canadian buyers can also use a cross-border mortgage — typically 30–50% down over a 15–25 year term. On pre-construction, developers usually offer direct payment plans (down payment plus monthly installments during construction).
Ongoing costs are low
Annual property tax (predial) in Mexico is a fraction of U.S./Canada rates — often just a few hundred dollars a year. Well-located condos here typically generate 8–12% gross annual returns as vacation rentals, depending on the unit and season.
Figures are standard industry ranges — confirm the exact numbers for your case with your HOMIA advisor and notario.
