How Can Property be Purchased Safely and Legally In Mexico Today as a Foreigner?

Purchasing real estate in Mexico has changed dramatically over recent years for foreigners and non-Mexican
Nationals.  Beginning in 1994, the federal government of Mexico liberalized ownership provisions of
all property within the constitutionally protected area known as the 'restricted zone'.
Prospective buyers outside of Mexico's borders seeking to buy homes, condominiums and time share projects, rustic,
industrial or urban property can now enjoy greater legal freedom and ownership rights, as mandated
and protected under Mexico's foreign investment law.
In Mexico, as in the U.S. or Canada, the transfer of real estate property rights are administered by federal, state and
local laws. Foreign nationals wishing to acquire property are subject to permission and registration with Mexico's
Department of Foreign Affairs. This federal level agency is responsible for awarding lawfully required permits and
authorizations to purchase property in the United States of Mexico,  as well as acquiring rights thereto.  For more
