If you have been considering buying real estate in Mexico, one of the first steps to ensure that you will be buying real estate safely is to inform yourself concerning Mexico laws and other relevant information. Various resources are available to help you with this process.

While buying and owning real estate in Mexico can be perfectly safe, it is important to realize that laws are different in this country. In some cases they are laws concerning client protection, in other cases they are laws concerning foreign ownership and transactions. In both cases, simply knowing can make all the difference in reducing risks that are unnecessary.

The first point is, when in doubt, ask a real estate question in a professional, online forum, or directly with an experienced agent. No question is too simple or silly to ask. There are many misconceptions about owning real estate or living in Mexico, and you have probably heard many of these from people claiming to know, and you may take some of these for granted. It's best to ask about anything that you are unsure about or that would make you hesitate to buy to find out if it is a valid concern or not, and, if it is, how to approach that issue.

On the other hand, you may have read or talked to some who just brushes any major issue aside, without really acknowledging that some issues really do need to be handled with care, (as is true in buying in any country.) This is another error, and likewise best avoided.

Another key resource, especially in addressing key issues that you may either take for granted, or may be unaware of is a well-informed Mexico real estate blog. A blog such as this will allow you to read about the key points necessary for you to know when buying in Mexico, the steps involved in the buying process, area updates, such as new airports, new developments, etc., and commentaries about lifestyle in the various main areas where Americans and Canadians tend to buy.

With a basis of information, you will be able to begin your property search process. The first step will be to find a qualified and reliable agent; the knowledge gained ahead of time will help you identify this agent, who will ultimately be your best resource.
