The process begins with a Letter of Intent—a no-money-down, non-binding agreement that reserves your right of first refusal. From there, contracts are formalised and an initial 25% deposit is made. Our trusted notary prepares the closing documents, with the remaining 75% balance due at closing. The full process typically takes 30–60 days, and our team is with you every step of the way to ensure a smooth and seamless experience.

Lots require an initial deposit, with the remaining balance due at closing. For select properties, owner-financed payment plans are available. Please contact us to learn more about current options tailored to your purchase.

Each lot includes full access to MUSA’s core infrastructure: roads, water, sewage treatment, and electricity connections. In addition, owners benefit from shared community services and amenities, including property management, 24/7 security, and onsite paramedics. Through the Hotel Residence Club relationship, owners also enjoy access to all hotel facilities and curated programming.

By law, foreigners purchasing property within 50 km of the coast must do so through a bank trust (fideicomiso). In this arrangement, the bank holds the title as trustee, while you remain the legal beneficiary with full ownership rights—including the ability to sell, lease, or transfer the property. You may also designate sub-beneficiaries within the trust, ensuring a seamless transfer of rights without probate. The fideicomiso typically costs around $2,500 USD to establish, with an annual administration fee of approximately $500 USD.

Closing costs cover due diligence, notary fees, public registry fees, and applicable taxes to ensure the property is transferred free of encumbrances. These costs are the responsibility of the buyer and typically amount to approximately 5% of the total purchase price. The closing process usually takes 30–60 days, and for convenience, MUSA offers a VIP notary service, allowing you to complete the signing directly at MUSA for a seamless experience.

Property ownership in Mexico has four main structures. We’ll guide you in choosing the one that makes the most tax sense for your situation:
‍
Foreign Individual: Ownership through a fideicomiso (bank trust) with full rights to sell, lease, or transfer. Capital gains paid in Mexico are deductible against US/Canada taxes under treaty benefits.
‍
Mexican Individual: Hold title outright in your own name. Permanent residents may access tax exemptions on the sale of a primary residence.
‍
Foreign Corporation: Own through a corporation with property as its asset. Option to sell company shares instead of the property itself, shifting tax liability to your home country.
‍
Mexican Corporation: Own outright through a local entity. Maximise tax benefits with deductible purchase, construction, and operating expenses; carry forward tax losses up to 10 years.
