Buying Guide
In this guide you’ll find everything you need to know to invest with confidence: pre-sales, how to buy as a foreigner, trust vs. company, types of property regimes, key areas, and the purchase process with professional support.
A pre-sale is the purchase of a property before it is completed or even before construction begins. In growing markets like Puerto Escondido, pre-sale is one of the strategies most used by investors.
Advantages of investing in pre-sales
- Preferential price for early stage
- Greater capital gains at the end of the work
- Flexible payment plans during construction
- Access to well-located projects
Every pre-sale involves risks: delays, changes or inexperienced developers. At Madre Ceiba we mitigate these risks through:
- Legal project review
- Developer evaluation
- Clear contracts and structured payment stages
Who is it ideal for?
- Investors: look for capital gains and returns
- End users: buy at a better price and wait for delivery
- Real risks (and how we mitigate them)

The bank trust is a legal figure that allows foreigners to buy properties in restricted areas of Mexico, such as areas near the sea.
Why does it exist?
The Mexican Constitution restricts direct ownership by foreigners in certain areas. The trust resolves this legally and safely.
Who needs it?
- Foreigners buying in coastal areas
- Buyers who do not constitute a company in Mexico
Approximate costs
- Opening: USD $2,500
- $3,500 Annual bank fee
Buyer's rights
- Total use of the property
- Rent, sale or inheritance
- Complete control of the investment
Trust vs. partnership
- Trust: simple, direct, ideal for personal investment
Company: more complex structure, useful for large projects.
