Yes, with a structure. If the property is in the restricted zone (within 50 km of the coast or 100 km of a border), foreign ownership goes through a fideicomiso — a 50-year renewable bank trust. It grants full ownership rights in practice. Outside the restricted zone, foreigners can hold title directly.

Annual property tax (predial) is low — usually a few hundred to a few thousand USD per year depending on the home. HOA fees (for gated communities) run higher. Fideicomiso renewal is a modest annual fee. Management, maintenance, staff, and rental listing costs are the larger ongoing line items.

Yes. Most owners offset costs through a rental program. Well-located, well-kept villas in Tulum can generate meaningful income, especially during high season. We manage rental programs for several owner-partners and can walk you through expectations realistically.

Depends on what you mean. For appreciation: Tulum has cooled from the peak frenzy of 2019–2022 but still outperforms most secondary markets. For income: yes, if the property is well-managed. For lifestyle: the question is different — and usually more interesting.

Before looking at listings, talk to an independent Mexican notario (attorney) and a real-estate advisor you didn't meet at a property showing. Structure first, house second. We can introduce you to both through the concierge if you're considering a purchase.
