Mexico Properties

Everyone loves a new home, but no one likes building one. The process of building can be long and frustrating, especially if you don’t have the skills or the time to oversee a major building project. Select Mexico Properties can help. We offer comprehensive real estate services to investors who want to build exclusive properties in Puerto Vallarta.

We can oversee your building project from start to finish, and ensure that your beautiful luxury home is completed on time and on budget. We have significant experience in building luxury real estate in Puerto Vallarta, and can put together the professional services you’ll need to construct a home here.

We use a competitive bidding process among our network of vendors and construction trade professionals, so you can be sure that you’ll get the best price on the construction of your home. At Select Mexico Properties, when we save money on the construction of your home, we pass those savings on to you. You won’t find many companies that will do that for you.

Generally, it takes anywhere from six to twelve weeks to close on the purchase of a property. The speed of the closing depends mostly upon how quickly you can provide the papers and documentation needed for the sale. Once the sale of your parcel is closed, we can usually complete the design work on your home in four to six weeks. After that, construction can begin and you can be in your luxurious home four to six months after we break ground.

In less than a year, you can have the keys to a custom-built luxury Puerto Vallarta home. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? If you’re ready to enjoy the benefits of living in luxury, Puerto Vallarta-style, then please don’t wait! Contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

There are few hot opportunities in real estate right now, but Puerto Vallarta real estate is the hottest of the hot! The government in Nayarit has announced the development of a tourist corridor that stretches from Nuevo Vallarta to San Blas. San Pancho is right in the corridor, which is great news for potential investors who are thinking on buying Puerto Vallarta real estate.

Select Mexico Properties has a limited number of residential building sites for sale right now. These sites won’t go to the commercial developers; they’re reserved for residential development, and they are gorgeous! Hillside building sites that overlook the Pacific Ocean are hard to come by, no matter where you are in the world. These sites will provide the perfect backdrop for a luxury Puerto Vallarta home.

Before you decide that you can’t afford “luxury” right now, take a look at the land. You can buy Puerto Vallarta real estate for a fraction of what the same land would cost in the US or in another developed country. The cost of building a home is exceptionally affordable, and Select Mexico Properties can lower your costs even further if you take advantage of the expert real estate assistance that Select Mexico Properties is offering.

You can design the home of your dreams and Select Mexico Properties will make that dream a reality. What could be simpler than that? San Pancho is just north of Puerto Vallarta, and hasn’t experienced the heavy commercial development that Puerto Vallarta is undergoing right now. That kind of development is unlikely to happen in San Pancho, making this area an ideal location for your exclusive luxury home.

When your home is finished, stay here part-time or year-round. Either way, you’ll enjoy the tremendous benefits of a luxury retirement lifestyle on a conservative budget. You won’t believe how affordable luxury really is! If you’re ready to consider the possibility of purchasing Puerto Vallarta real estate, please don’t wait.

Right now is the time for buying real estate in Mexico. The real estate market is making positive gains, land prices are low, the appreciation rate is good, and long-term financing options are finally here. If you know anything about the Mexican real estate market, you should know that mortgages are relatively new. Until just a few years ago, buying real estate in Mexico meant paying cash. Fortunately, things have changed. Home mortgages are readily available for buying real estate in Mexico, including land, for residential construction and for refinancing.

You’ll be happy to know that real estate in Puerto Vallarta has been appreciating at a rate of about ten percent per year for the last ten years. You won’t find real estate markets in the US that exhibit this kind of growth, and certainly not luxury real estate. In fact, in the US, luxury real estate markets occupy eight of the top ten losing real estate markets in the US. Some of these real estate markets have seen valuation declines in excess of 30 percent!

Buying real estate in Mexico is an excellent investment option, made all that much better by the fact that long-term financing is now available. In addition, you can refinance your Mexican real estate, meaning that you have ready access to the home equity that’s building up. Currently, you can refinance up to 70 percent of the purchase price of your Mexican real estate or 50 percent of the value of your home. Most re-finances have a cap of $1 million. That’s a definite advantage of buying real estate in Mexico these days!

Buying real estate in Mexico is safe from the perspective of establishing your ownership claims. It’s also safe from a financial perspective, because you can access the equity in your Mexican home. Buying real estate in Mexico is also easy when you work with a partner like Select Mexico Properties. Select Mexico Properties can provide you with lender referrals to help you arrange financing for your land purchase and the construction of your new luxury Puerto Vallarta home.

There’s no reason to wait if you want to take advantage of this fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Act fast because investors from all over the world are looking to reap the benefits of buying real estate in Mexico. Contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

Things have changed considerably in Mexico in a very short time. Buying real estate in Mexico was, until recently, a dangerous proposition for the buyer. The laws governing the purchase of land were remarkably different than they are in the US, and there were few protections for the buyer. As a consequence, banks were unwilling to lend money for buying real estate in Mexico.

Serious reforms were needed and that’s exactly what’s been delivered. Deeds for land purchases near the Mexican coast and national borders are now held in a trust mechanism called a fideicomiso. Fideicomisos are not required in other places, but many Mexican citizens choose to use this form of ownership to give themselves an added measure of protection.

If you are buying real estate in Mexico, you’ll need to work with a bank to establish your fideicomiso. Once it is established, you direct the bank to purchase the land, and the bank will act in your interest during the purchase transaction. The bank will also hold the deed for the land in trust for you after the sale has been completed. You’ll pay the bank for the land, as well as fees associated with setting up the fideicomiso. You’ll also need to pay a small annual maintenance charge to the bank for trust adminstration and servicing.

Be particularly wary of sellers who tell you that you do not need a fideicomiso when buying real estate in Mexico. All land purchases within 50 km of a coastline or 100 km of a national border must be held in a trust. You’ll also need the services of a real estate attorney to do title research, draw up and review the sale papers.

Your land purchase must be registered by a notario publico. A notario publico is not like a notary public in the US. A notario publico is a real estate attorney who acts as a quasi-judicial official. He or she records land purchases after verifying that the sale has been conducted in accordance with Mexican law, and that there are no other ownership claims, unpaid taxes, liens or other attachments on the property. As an added measure of safety, all land that Select Mexico Properties sells comes with title insurance underwritten by First American Title.

These reforms protect the buyer and the lender quite well, and make buying real estate in Mexico as safe as buying land in any other developed country.

Last week, Mexican president Felipe Calderon signed into law an exceptional set of judicial reforms that will change Mexico forever. Calderon approved a fundamental shift in Mexico’s judicial system, leaving behind the Napoleonic law on which the country was founded. In its place, Mexico will adopt the presumption of innocence, and begin conducting jury trials on criminal matters. While the reforms are judicial in nature, it brings Mexico into the 21st century and will ensure Mexico’s place at the forefront of developing countries. It’s also great news for people who are thinking of buying real estate in Mexico.

The fundamental shift of the judicial system means a great deal to people who may migrate to Mexico from other parts of the world, where the presumption of innocence is the basis of criminal justice. The reforms also answer the criticism that the Mexican judicial system is largely corrupt and inadequately respects the rights of the population.

These reforms are part of a long-term plan to elevate Mexico’s stature among Latin American countries, and bring it on par with its North American neighbors. By developing a judicial system that is well understood and in which people can be confident, the prospect of buying real estate in Mexico becomes that much more attractive to commercial and individual investors.

In the last decade, Mexico has undergone a number of major reforms. The by-product of these reforms include a healthy economy, growing wealth among the population, protection for foreign investors who want to bring jobs to the region, and protection for individuals who want to live and invest in Mexico.

Buying real estate in Mexico has never been safer than it is right now, thanks in large parts to recent reforms in Mexican law that define and clarify property rights. These new judicial reforms mean that individuals can be confident that their personal rights will be respected as well.

The real estate market has never been better, and the demand for luxury real estate is overwhelming. If you’re wondering what I mean, you’re head isn’t in the right place. I’m talking about Mexico. You won’t find better deals in real estate right now than those in Mexico. And in one certain area of the country, the deal just got much better! If you’re looking to invest in exclusive Mexico real estate, look no farther than the Nayarit coast.

The governor of Nayarit has just announced a massive public-private investment of $1 billion in the creation of what’s being called the tourist corridor. The area under development stretches from Puerto Vallarta to San Blas, and I assure you, it will be huge.

The initial phase of the development includes eight major hotels, a number of boutique hotels, a new marina and a brand new signature golf course. This level of investment is already interesting other investors, who want to bring tourist support businesses to the Nayarit coast.

All of this means that there has never been a better time to invest in luxury coastal real estate in Nayarit than right now. Select Mexico Properties has some of the most gorgeous exclusive Mexico real estate for sale right now in San Pancho, just north of Puerto Vallarta.

San Pancho is the ideal place to invest. It’s north of all of the tourist development in Puerto Vallarta and south of the planned tourist development along the Nayarit coast. Nayarit itself is largely undeveloped, and its pristine state is highly attractive to developers.

You’re in a unique position to take advantage of the hot development going on right now in Puerto Vallarta and soon along the tourist corridor of the Riviera Nayarit. In a year – possibly two – you won’t be able to touch real estate like the exclusive properties being offered right now by Select Mexico Properties. If they’re available at all, you can be sure you’ll be paying a high premium.

Please don’t wait. The time to invest in exclusive Mexico real estate is right now and San Pancho should be high on your list of residential building sites to investigate. Contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today and let us show you how exclusive Mexico real estate can fit nicely into your high-performance investment portfolio.

Luxury costal property is hard to come by. It’s rarely available and when it is, it’s outrageously expensive. In Mexico, the government regulates how much development can take place along the coastline, so that reduces even farther the amount of land available for development. In Puerto Vallarta, coastal development right now is almost exclusively commercial. Large developers are building hotel, resort and condominium properties as fast as they possibly can, in order to meet the demand for luxury coastal property in Mexico.

Retirees and workers who are soon to retire are looking carefully at Puerto Vallarta as a viable option for a comfortable, cost-effective retirement. As it turns out, retirement is expensive in developed countries, no matter where you go. The primary concern is health care, even in countries that provide universal health coverage.

In Canada and many European countries, where universal health care is provided, many seniors still don’t get the care they need to preserve the quality of their lives. There are long waits for surgeries like joint replacement. People can languish for months or years with chronic pain because they haven’t moved to the top of the surgery list. In other cases, less-expensive-but-less-effective treatments are substituted for more expensive, more successful ones. For some residents of these countries, the wait and treatment approaches are simply not acceptable, and they choose to look elsewhere for medical care.

Mexico – and Puerto Vallarta in particular – is a prime destination for these “medical tourists” because the quality of care here is high while its cost remains low. Additionally, retirees can find low-cost prescription drugs here as well. The low cost of living and medical care here means you’ll be able to spend more of your retirement savings on luxury coastal property. You’ll get to enjoy the retirement you’ve dreamed of your entire working life after all.

The time to invest in luxury coastal property in Mexico is now. You won’t find land this affordable for long, and once it’s developed, you’ll be paying premium prices to live here. Please don’t wait another day. Contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!
