If you’re wondering where all of the good opportunities in real estate have gone, you need to look at Mexico real estate. While the US real estate market founders, Mexico real estate is producing excellent returns.

The reasons are simple. First, Mexico is an emerging country. The government here is making major investments infrastructure in an effort to position Mexico as a trade leader in this part of the world. It’s much easier to find investment opportunities here and take advantage of them than it is in a country that’s already highly developed.

The economic conditions in Mexico are right for the kind of growth we’re seeing here. Employment figures look good, industrial production looks good, the cost of living is low, and the quality of life – especially in areas like Puerto Vallarta – is high. Many people are looking at the investment potential of Mexico real estate and they’re seeing a real star performer.

Sam Zell, billionaire real estate mogul, thinks that now is the time to make the most of Mexico real estate investments. He said last month that he saw no real growth opportunities in the US real estate markets, but that Mexico provided an excellent opportunity for return.

Commercial investors and developers are buying choice properties here. Mortgage lenders are coming here in droves. Very few opportunities exist for the individual investor. Select Mexico Properties is offering residential building sites in San Pancho that – when developed – will be extraordinarily valuable to the individual investor. The cost of land and of designing and building a luxurious home are comparatively low, opening up a great opportunity for an excellent return on investment.

There are relatively few opportunities for the individual to take full advantage of the growth in Mexico real estate, but the parcels for sale by Select Mexico Properties must surely be one of them.

Many people are looking for safe retirement investments that will shelter their savings. There are few shelters you’ll find that do as good a job as a Puerto Vallarta second home. A Puerto Vallarta second home offers multiple benefits, whether you are looking for an investment property or a place to call home during retirement.

For the investor, a Puerto Vallarta second home offers a stable investment with a solid rate of return. For the past decade, Puerto Vallarta property has appreciated at the rate of ten percent per year. Due in large part to the expected demand for retirement and luxury properties in Puerto Vallarta, the property appreciation rate in the next five years is expected to go beyond 10 percent.

For the retiree, a Puerto Vallarta second home offers a low cost of living and a high quality of life. You can find excellent health and dental care, low prescription drug costs and excellent personal assistance. The municipal water here meets the same water quality standards applied in major US cities and has for the past seventeen years running. The number of activities here geared toward people of all ages, the unbeatable climate and the availability of all modern conveniences make Puerto Vallarta a natural choice for retirement living.

Regardless of what you’re looking for from a Puerto Vallarta second home, you’ll certainly find it when you invest here. The key to a solid investment is finding the right place to build a home. Select Mexico Properties has some of the most beautiful residential building sites available for sale right now. You won’t find better properties than these anywhere along the Pacific coast.

The opportunity to take advantage of all that a Puerto Vallarta second home has to offer won’t last long. So many retirees – and soon-to-be retirees – are looking for a Puerto Vallarta second home as an investment or as a residence, you’ll soon find that the best properties have been bought and developed. If you plan to get in on this opportunity, the time to do that is right now! Don’t wait!

Mexico has a bad rap when it comes to foreign ownership. People are afraid that there is no security of property ownership in Mexico. That notion is outdated, and if it’s keeping you from investing in property here, you should take a look at how things have changed.

First, about 1.5 million Americans own residential real estate in Mexico right now. There is plenty of security of property ownership in Mexico. In many places, including Puerto Vallarta, you can establish a claim on your property by following a few simple steps.

It’s important to look for properties whose ownership history is well known or able to be researched carefully. You should also engage the service of a Mexican lawyer or a lawyer who is well versed in Mexico property laws.

Second, don’t buy a property unless you can get title insurance. This is a standard feature of luxury properties and it is the hallmark of the security of ownership of property in Puerto Vallarta. Title insurance is all-important. If it’s not available on the property you’re considering, think twice about buying it.

Third, make sure you understand how to establish your ownership claims. Coastal properties must be held in a trust relationship called a fideicomiso. Mexican law requires this trust and it is the only way that you can establish a legitimate ownership claim on coastal property.

Fourth, you must have your purchase registered by the notario publico and you must take possession of your land. Mexico honors squatters’ rights, so it’s not sufficient to buy land and do nothing with it. A notario publico functions more like a judge than a notary public in the US, and this is an absolutely critical step in the establishment of ownership interest.

Select Mexico Properties has a staff of professionals who are familiar with Mexican property laws and can help you establish your land claims here. You can certainly find security of property ownership in Mexico, but you’ll need expert advice to help you through the process.
