16 January 2025 | 4 replies
That’s correct, a foreigner can buy property through a Mexican corporation, which is a great option for those investing in multiple properties or running a rental business.Key Points I'd like to add to your post:Setup Costs: $1,500–$3,000 USD.Ongoing Costs: $1,000–$2,000 USD/year for accounting and tax filings.Benefits: Allows tax deductions for expenses like maintenance, repairs, and management.Best for: Multiple properties or income-generating investments.For a single property for personal use, a fideicomiso is often simpler and more cost-effective due to its lower maintenance requirements and feesUltimately, choosing between a corporation and a fideicomiso comes down to your investment strategy.

Let’s break it down with the 70% rule to see if it’s investor-friendly:ARV: $190,000 (taking the middle of $180K-$200K)70% of ARV: $190,000 * 0.7 = $133,000Minus Estimated Repairs:Roof: $20,000AC: $4,000Additional repairs (general estimate for a property needing updates, say flooring, paint, minor plumbing): $10,000-$15,000Total Repairs: approx. $35,000Max Buy Price for Investor: $133,000 - $35,000 - $10,000 (wholesale fee) = $88,000Since you’re getting it for $91,000, you’re close, but to make it irresistible, consider negotiating the purchase price down a bit further.

.- This will allow low down payment and the 203(k) allows repairs to be financed into the purchase mortgage.- The 203(k) will allow you to bid on properties that need repairs that won't qualify for a traditional mortgage => less competition => better purchase price.You will need to find a great local contractor you can trust to supply the required bids to qualify for the 203(k).- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.
