FAQ
What does USD 200,000 buy in Ciudad de México?
About 59 m² at ~3362 USD/m² (offer price, grade B).
How are rent and sale taxed?
A non-resident's rent is taxed under ISR (withholding on the order of 25% of gross income depending on the regime). The sale is taxed under ISR on the gain. CDMX property tax is set annually.
Do I need a trust (fideicomiso) to buy?
In Mexico City (interior) a foreigner buys directly. The mandatory bank trust applies only in the restricted zone (coast and border strip), such as Tulum or Los Cabos, with a lifetime annual fee.
Is capital freely repatriated?
Yes. Mexico has no exchange controls: capital and income can be converted to dollars and wired abroad. The practical friction is usually opening a bank account as a non-resident.
