5 Key Lessons on Mexico Real Estate Investment for Canadians
On May 31st, 2025, downtown Toronto became a gateway to the Mexican Caribbean. The Mexico Real Estate Showcase, hosted by Homes in Mexico in collaboration with Mexico Mortgage Hub and Fernando Córdova Real Estate, gathered Canadian investors eager to explore new opportunities south of the border.
For four hours, attendees learned from experts, connected with fellow investors, and discovered why Mexico Real Estate Investment is becoming a smart and timely strategy.
1. Mexico Real Estate Investment Offers Higher Returns with Lower Costs
💰 With $300,000 CAD, your real estate options look very different depending on the country:
2. Financing from Canada Is Not Only Possible. It’s Happening.
Many Canadians believe they can’t finance property abroad, especially in Mexico. That’s no longer true.
“You cannot get a mortgage in Mexico unless you are a Mexican resident” is a myth.
Canadians can qualify for financing with us, and many already are.
— Benjamin Monroy, CEO, Mexico Mortgage Hub
Canadian buyers can access up to 85% LTV thanks to Mexico Mortgage Hub, with financing tailored to their income type and investment goals.
3. The Riviera Maya Is Mexico’s Fastest-Growing Investment Region
With 10.3% annual population growth, the Riviera Maya is leading Mexico’s real estate boom. Key drivers include:
- $10B Infrastructure investment, including the Maya Train and Tulum International Airport
- 30-40% Pre-construction appreciation
- Property diversity: From $150K studios to $2M+ luxury beachfront villas
4. Hidden Gems Are Emerging Beyond Tulum and Playa
While Playa del Carmen and Tulum are known hotspots, other areas are emerging with high upside:
- Bacalar: Lagoon-front, eco-conscious luxury
- Mahahual: A quiet beach town with cruise ship traffic
- Holbox: A frontier island for early investors
5. Legal Ownership in Mexico Is Straightforward for Foreigners
Contrary to old fears, owning property in Mexico as a foreigner is safe and legally protected. The event explained key steps:
- Buyers use bank trusts (fideicomisos) or Mexican corporations, depending on their investment model
- Legal advisors ensure full compliance and due diligence
- All contracts are notarized and registered for full transparency
Special Participation: Raise Group & Anthar, Playa del Carmen
This year’s event featured a spotlight on Raise Group, our event sponsor, who introduced their luxury development Anthar, located in Playa del Carmen.
Attendees learned about exclusive units available only during the showcase, featuring resort-style amenities, beach proximity, and strong rental potential.
