Mexico offers stunning coastlines, vibrant cities, and affordable living—but before you commit to a property, it’s important to do your homework. Here are 5 key factors to keep in mind:

  1. Location, Location, Location: Beachfront or city center? Each has its pros and cons. Think about accessibility, safety, and lifestyle.

  2. Property Type: Are you buying a home, a vacation rental, or just a lot? Understand what suits your goals.

  3. Legal Check: In Mexico, a Notario (notary public/lawyer) is required to verify property ownership and paperwork. Don’t skip this!

  4. Amenities: Pool, parking, A/C, garden space—make sure the property fits your lifestyle.

  5. Direct Contact with the Owner: Being able to speak directly with the seller or landlord simplifies the process and avoids surprises. That’s why Mexico By Owner is built around owner-to-buyer connection.
