Define your budget
Determine your investment capacity: down payment (from 10-20%), monthly payments during construction and mortgage. Our financial simulator helps you calculate.
Reserve your unit
Once you choose your property, a reservation agreement is signed and a deposit (usually $50,000 - $100,000 MXN) is paid to secure the unit.
Legal procedures
The property's legal status is reviewed: deeds, building permits, land use and bank trust (mandatory for foreigners in restricted zones).
Title deed
Public deed signing before a notary. Title costs in Quintana Roo are approx. 6-8% of the value. Includes: ISR, acquisition tax, appraisal, notary fees and certificates.
Key delivery
Final property inspection, delivery of manuals, warranties and condo regulations. Your investment is ready!
Required documents
Have these documents ready to speed up your buying process.
Can I buy if I'm not Mexican?
Yes. The Riviera Maya is in a "restricted zone" (50 km from the coast), but foreigners can acquire properties through a bank trust (fideicomiso). Propyte connects you with trusted trust banks and guides you every step of the way.
The trust has a 50-year renewable term and grants you all rights to use, enjoy, rent and sell the property.
