The Event Exciting Insights
The Homes in Mexico Real Estate Fair – Vancouver 2024 took place over the weekend of September 28-29, 2024, at the luxurious Fairmont Waterfront hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia. The event brought together approximately 200 eager attendees, including potential buyers, real estate investors, and industry professionals from Canada.
The fair served as a prime opportunity for attendees to discover what Mexico’s thriving real estate market has to offer, especially for those seeking high-return investment properties in key locations like the Riviera Maya and Cancun.
One of the event’s standout features was the participation of four renowned Mexican developers.
These developers showcased a range of residential and investment opportunities from the Riviera Maya, one of the hottest regions for real estate investment in Mexico. With each development offering a unique blend of luxury, sustainability, and profitability, attendees were given exclusive insights into why these areas are rapidly becoming investment hotspots for foreign buyers.

The Homes in Mexico Real Estate Fair – Vancouver 2024 featured six engaging presentations, each offering invaluable insights for potential investors and real estate enthusiasts.
These presentations were designed to address key aspects of investing in Mexican real estate, from understanding market trends to navigating the legalities of property ownership and financing options.
Here are the main takeaways from the expert-led sessions:
1. Invest in Quintana Roo: Why Cancun? Your Next Smart Move in Real Estate Investment
Presented by Yael Raphael, Regional Manager at Homes in Mexico, this session highlighted the tremendous investment potential in Cancun.
Yael explained why Cancun, with its booming tourism industry, growing infrastructure, and strategic location, stands out as a prime real estate destination. Investors were shown how Cancun offers high returns on investment (ROI), especially through vacation rentals, and why now is the time to act, as property values are on the rise.
2. Financing for Foreign Investors: Opportunities and Requirements
In this session, Benjamin Monroy, CEO of Mexico Mortgage Hub and Homes in Mexico, provided an overview of the financing options available for foreign investors.
He discussed the ease of securing mortgage loans in Mexico, with up to 90% financing for salaried employees and 80% for self-employed individuals. Benjamin’s insights into loan structures and requirements helped demystify the process, emphasizing that with the right guidance, investing in Mexico is accessible for Canadians and Americans alike.
3. Your Riviera Maya Escape
Corina Mitrani, Senior Manager, and Anahi Velázquez, Real Estate Specialist at Homes in Mexico, took attendees on a journey through the Riviera Maya, showcasing the region’s most sought-after properties.
Their presentation focused on expert advice for buying homes in popular destinations such as Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos and Tulum.

4. Property Ownership in Mexico: Fideicomiso or Corporation?
Alejandra Nieto, Mortgage & Real Estate Specialist, tackled one of the most important legal aspects of buying property in Mexico—ownership structures.
