Investing in Mexico—Why Now?

In 2024, Mexico reached a historic record in foreign direct investment (FDI), with a preliminary total of $36.87 billion USD, marking a 2.3% increase compared to the previous year.

Specifically, the hospitality and tourism sector, which includes real estate development in destinations like Playa del Carmen and Tulum, attracted $2.74 billion USD, accounting for 7% of Mexico’s total FDI. This figure reflects the rising demand and strong investment return potential for properties in these key tourism regions.

At Menesse Condos, we’ve sold over 2,000 units, including 700+ in Playa del Carmen and 250+ in Tulum, helping foreign investors generate both capital appreciation and rental income.

Can Foreigners Really Buy Property in Mexico?

Yes—and it’s easier than you think. As a foreigner, you can own property in Mexico’s coastal areas through a bank trust (fideicomiso) or a Mexican corporation, both of which grant you full rights and legal protection.

These structures are common, secure, and have been used by investors from the U.S., Canada, and Europe for decades.
