From Vacation to Owner
What It Really Takes to Buy, Build, and Run a Home in Mexico: Riviera Maya Edition
Vacation-you is forgiving. Owner-you is not. If the internet drops on vacation, you shrug and go find tacos. If it drops while you're trying to close on a property — while your bank wants "one more document" and the notario's meter is running — that's a different Tuesday entirely.
The flagship guideRiviera Maya Edition
What's inside
How foreigners actually own property in Mexico — the fideicomiso, the restricted zone, the notario, what closing really costs, and the one type of land to walk away from every single time.
Why renting longer is reconnaissance, not indecision — and how long is long enough.
The five people you need on your team before you sign anything, and how to sort the talkers from the finishers.
Money, residency, and being legible to the system — banking friction, temporal vs. permanente, the RFC, and the paperwork that decides how much tax you pay when you eventually sell.
What happens after the keys — the first 90 days, contractors and staff, renting it out, hurricanes and sargassum handled honestly, exit strategy, and the estate planning that protects your family.
The book includes practical questions, decision tests, and a carrying-cost worksheet you can use before money moves. No hype. No "paradise awaits." Just the dream without the dumb surprises.
Current official sources and book resources remain online so readers can check the latest rules after the printed book leaves the press.
