FAQ-Can Americans/Canadians Own Real Estate in Mexico or Central America
CAN AMERICANS/CANADIANS OWN REAL ESTATE IN MEXICO OR CENTRAL AMERICA?
In all the countries and locations where Livtopia is working, you can buy a property just as you would in the US or Canada. There are some restricted areas, usually near the coastlines or national borders, as in Mexico and Costa Rica, where the title is placed permanently in a trust which you control 100%. You can therefore sell the title, or pass it on to your heirs just as you would any other title. The short answer is YES, and with very few and limited restrictions!
Livtopia specializes in helping our clients to be sure that a seller owns clear title to the property being sold, and that the escrow is set up correctly. Livtopia’s Concierge service will help you, for free, with the entire process, making it as easy and risk-free as buying a property in the US or Canada!
