Title Insurance is key to your Purchase in the Riviera Maya
Mexico offers an exciting opportunity for real estate investment. The 1994 liberalization of ownership provisions, provides non-Mexican nationals with greater legal freedom and ownership rights, opening the market to new sources of capital and providing non-Mexican nationals with many exciting investment locations. But before any investment is made a purchaser needs to be aware of the basic issues that surround property transfers and ownership laws. At Stewart Title, we recommend these six principles to help buyers avoid risk; 1. Determine if the seller has legal ownership of the property and
if it can be transferred legally. These steps are even more important to take as, here in the Riviera Maya, the double titling of lots and property title forgery are the main inhibitors of investment in Quintana Roo. The lack of legal certainty causes rejection of about 30% of all applications to insure land - regarding property - mainly in the Riviera Maya. The lack of certainty as to land tenancy prevails because in the Quintana Roo state there is no true control over the property titling. There are 4 Public Registry of Property offices - in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, and Chetumal. They are run separately and are NOT linked together in order to identify lots already executed by deed in another municipality. A title search can reveal the errors in title. Here at Stewart Title, our attorneys do the research to identify the property defects. As a real estate information services corporation, Stewart has been providing buyers, sellers, and lenders, with the information and solutions to protect their real estate for more than a century. For more than a decade Stewart Title Guaranty de Mexico has provided non-Mexican nationals with the educational resources and title/escrow services to protect their Mexican real estate investments. As the only U.S. based title insurance company to have a fully licensed Mexican underwriter, our bi-lingual professionals on both sides of the border pride themselves on helping you safely, securely navigate the Mexican closing process. For more information about how to safely purchase property in Mexico please contact us anytime. Ivan Castillo is the General Manager for Stewart Title Riviera Maya.

Hello All, here is the information Mortgages In Mexico has been waiting
on from GE Capital! Cash-out Refinance loans are now available - maximum cash out $500,000. Loan amount will be limited to 70% of original sales price, or 50% of current appraisal. This loan program is limited to $10 Million throughout all of Mexico, so if you know anyone who wants to take advantage of this, tell them to act quickly. Likewise, now is a good time to go through your database of previous clients you've sold a home to and let them know this is now available. By taking cash out of their homes/condos, this will give them the money to invest in additional properties in Mexico. They know what the appreciation has been in their current homes, so they will want to take the existing equity in their homes and leverage it into an additional property or two. This is smart money - making your equity work for you, rather than being tied up in an existing property. Right now is an excellent opportunity to contact your existing clientele
and create some new business for yourself in the coming high season. The SRE permits are required for the fideicomiso, so unless your buyer is a Mexican National, there is no way around getting the SRE permit, so prepare your sellers they're in for a delay in closing their property. Mortgages In Mexico is here to take care of all the finiancing needs for you and your clients. Remember, we have loans for new construction, and commercial money for hotels and development of condos where the loan amount is $5 Million or greater. If you know your buyers are coming into town, it is always a good idea to have them pre-qualified before they arrive. This way, they are almost identical to a cash-buyer - we only have
to work on the property side of the loan file if we have the buyers
already qualified, and you won't be wasting your valuable time with
buyers who may not be able to afford what they want. Hang on to your
hats - it's already turning into a very busy high season! I look forward
to working with you and your clients. # posted by MLS 4 Riviera Maya @ 5:49 PM 0 comments Get to Know the Dynamic Women in Business of the Riviera Maya Riviera Realtors adds News Sales Manager to Team by J.P.

You've Purchased Your Vacation Condo, now what? Learn how to make the connections that get things done here in Playa del Carmen from one of the area's top professionals. Remember, Rome Was Not Built In a Day! by Elizabeth Gregg Let´s face it. Most of us aren´t interior designers. So when you purchase your new home or condo in the Mexican Riviera you realize, " Now I have to furnish this!" In most of our past experiences with properties we have grown accostomed to moving to a new home with at least some furniture and belongings from the previous one, making it somewhat easier to decorate. Five years ago when we purchased our first property here in the Riviera Maya of Mexico it came with no appliances, air-conditioning was not installed (not included), no overhead fixtures/ceilling fans and no toilet seat covers! Imagine the quagmire with rusty Spanish to have to search all over Cancun for everthing from ceiling fans to towel bars not to mention the furniture. After that we had to hire a moving truck to haul all of our stuff back to Playa del Carmen or wait to have it delivered. Whew! Just remembering that experience makes me break out in a sweat. Thankfully, developers have come a long way in that appliances are usually included in new construction along with AC and fixtures installed. Also, there is so much convenience and selection for furniture, fixtures, appliances, art, home accessories, custom services, plants, home electronics, rugs......and the list goes on. When we first opened our office here in Playa del Carmen we had to take clients everywhere to help them furnish their homes. Now its so easy, you just have to hit the Highway 307 and wander back and forth between the North and South ends of Playa del Carmen and you can practically find everything you need...even if your Spanish is not perfect!
-Furniture-Munde de Arte, Muebla, Altimus, Azcue, Casa Latina, Detagglio
- Makesure cash withdrawal limit on bank card is at least $1000 per
day The most important thing…is that Rome wasn´t built in a day and neither will your house be furnished that quickly. Your new beach residence should be a reflection of your personality and that will probably take a bit of time. Good Luck, and feel free to contact us for information or real estate advice!

Marbella del Pacifico is a 148 unit condominium project that will provide breathtaking ocean views from every one of its floor plans. And along with luxury interior living spaces, the project will offer residents a sand volleyball court, pools, Jacuzzis, tennis courts, a chip and put golf course, fire pits, a state of the art spa & fitness area, covered parking and more.Property in Mexico is becoming a lucrative investment since the government eased foreign owned real estate purchasing rights in 1993.

The Marbella del Pacifico project aims to provide affordable ocean front property.

Some MLSs don't allow this type of listing to appear in their home-search databases. “We understand that the FTC is now looking at the possibility of taking NAR up on its offer to address this issue,” says NAR General Counsel Laurie Janik. NAR’s goal, Janik says, is to work in concert with the FTC to create an industrywide solution that will address the agency’s concerns that certain MLS activities hurt competition. In a press conference Thursday, the FTC announced that it has investigated seven independently operated MLSs and consider their practices to be anticompetitive. As a result, five MLSs have signed consent orders to discontinue certain practices, and the other two MLSs will be litigated in court. “Although we do not agree with today’s FTC actions, we are happy to learn that the FTC — which does not customarily reach out to industry — is looking to work with NAR on this issue,” says NAR President Thomas M. Stevens. “The result will be, we hope, the elimination of duplicative actions such as the consent orders.” Stevens also stressed that REALTORS® welcome competition and work in a competitive environment every day. MLSs are cooperatives formed by real estate brokers in which they offer each other the opportunity to sell their listings. The industry has made a multimillion dollar investment to create the infrastructure of the MLS systems. Most MLSs also display their members’ listings on Internet advertising sites, such as REALTOR.com, which displays 3.9 million homes for sale and has 7 million unique visitors each month. “MLSs are a powerful force for competition,” says Janik. “They make it easy for sellers to reach buyers and for buyers to find the right property.” — REALTOR® Magazine Online # posted by MLS 4 Riviera Maya @ 12:33 PM 0 comments

# posted by MLS 4 Riviera Maya @ 6:03 PM 0 comments And the Adventure Begins A Buyers Perspective by Dave Trahan For about the last six or seven years, my wife and I had been dreaming of owning a condominium or villa in or around Playa del Carmen. Finally, last August, the stars were aligned and our dream became a reality. We were able to buy a brand new, unfinished condominium in Playacar. My wife who is quite a talented decorator, would be able to furnish the condo to her liking and before we knew it, we would be all settled in. We live in Troy, Michigan and figured furniture shopping would be much the same in Playa del Carmen as it was at home. If not, we certainly could order over the phone from the likes of Pottery Barn and have the furniture delivered to Mexico. Boy, were we in for a surprise! I volunteered to start checking with folks on the various Playa forums to see where we should go to outfit our new home. I figured that at the very worst, one or two store stops would be all that would be required and we would be done. No wasting valuable vacation time running around from store to store for these smart shoppers! While I was able to glean some useful information from the forums, the information I was getting was that outfitting a condo was no easy or quick matter. One store stocks sofas, another chairs and so on. Delivery dependability depended on the store and the quality of the furniture also varied greatly. Finally, Susan of One Stop Realty in Playa del Carmen sent me a note and said she had just heard of a new company called Gringo Furniture that offered online shopping for furniture in Mexico. Susan didn't know much about the company but I decided to give it a try since I did not want to spend the next four of five vacation weeks running around Playa furniture shopping. I believe that my wife and I were one of Gringo's first customers. I went to the website and was amazed at the wide selection of furniture that was available to view online. Color pictures, measurements, options and price were right there on my computer screen. The prices seemed reasonable - much more reasonable than many of the prices I had seen in Playa or Cancun. We had our choice of four color finishes and also had the option of having the furniture varnished. The furniture was solid wood meaning no veneers to warp in the humidity. There were many different designs and some were more rustic than others. Delivery was promised in four to six weeks. This all seemed too good to be true. Gringo Furniture was a total unknown to us. We went through the catalog and picked out furniture for our three bedrooms, our patio and our living room. We then decided on color tones and then added up the prices. Much to my delight, the total sum was well within our budget so the only problem left was did we want to deal with (and pay) a totally unknown entity. I corresponded with the owner Karen a couple of times and found her most helpful and responsive. I am a bit more of a gambler than my wife and finally persuaded her to let me go forward with our furniture nest egg. We placed our order and paid for the furniture in advance. If the furniture was delivered as promised, it would arrive one week before our next planned week in Playa. Karen called a couple of time with questions and provided status reports a couple of times too. We arrived in Playa as scheduled. Our furniture had been delivered as scheduled. All of the furniture was extensively wrapped in protective paper to prevent any nicks or other damage. The furniture was EXACTLY as represented. We were very pleased with the quality and the finishes. As an example, our patio furniture was very similar (but better quality) to a set we saw in Playa and was about one-half the cost. The mattresses were in protective plastic enclosures and were very comfortable - unlike many mattresses in Mexico. It is obvious that the furniture maker ( unknown to me) takes great pride in his products and workmanship. We were very pleased. Friends who stopped by commented on what nice furniture we had obtained. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. It was also very affordable! If there was a downside - and there always is- it was that we could not purchase all of our furniture from Gringo. We needed sleeper sofa's and the few Gringo had did not appeal to either my wife or I. Some of the furniture was a bit more rustic than we were looking for so again certain pieces were purchased elsewhere. I did not ask for the furniture to be unwrapped and set-up and Karen admitted it never occurred to her to ask if we wanted that service. I am told by Karen that a wider selection of furniture styles will be offered and that set-up services will be offered. Honestly, those are my only "complaints" and let's face it, they are not really complaints. Would I do business with Gringo again? Yes I would and have in fact recommended Gringo to many similarly situated friends. My wife even said she wanted to buy a patio set for our house in Michigan until I explained some of the import/export issues. Go to the website gringofurniture.com and look around. Ask questions and feel safe making payments. An online furniture store is a service that was needed in Mexico and Gringo is making it happen.
Costa Maya: The Latest Buzz In Mexico Real Estate Investment By Christine Harrell You've seen pre-planned suburban communities-now imagine a pre-planned 57 mile long strip of Caribbean coastal paradise. Just as planned communities are built with the purpose of providing the ideal suburban living atmosphere, the Mexican government has plans for the Costa Maya to become the next great ecotourism spot in the Caribbean. Similar project in Cancun and Playa del Carmen have already proven wildly successful for both Mexican tourism and real estate investors. Already in the early stages of the game, the Costa Maya is showing all signs of the same level of success. The reason that this picture perfect tropical paradise has remained untouched by human development for so long is that prior to the government renovation there were no area-wide resources such as electricity and sewage. Like other now popular places in Mexico, what was needed to spark growth was a government initiative to bring power, water, sewer, and telephones to the entire area. Banks in Mexico don't provide generous, low interest loans for property as they do in the US, meaning that most of the population was unable to afford the land or develop on it. Today, the Costa Maya is the last 57 mile stretch of virgin Caribbean coastal property anywhere in the world. For investors, the fact that this project is currently in its infancy means massive opportunity in terms of Mexico real estate investment. Plots of raw, Caribbean beachfront property that are today selling for around $60,000 are expected to reach the $1million dollar mark in 15-20 years. Like Cancun where property values rivaled that of the average American car just 30 years ago, the Costa Maya region needed only a kick start to begin its surge or growth. It's not common in real estate investment to come across so much undeveloped territory-especially untouched, coastal property on the romanticized Caribbean Sea. To put things into perspective, the Costa Maya has more miles of beachfront than Orange County in California and just 13 fewer miles of beachfront than Los Angeles County. Such types of real estate investment opportunities are no longer available on the densely populated coast of the United States. When it comes to Mexico real estate investment, the opportunity to own a residential beachfront lot in a developing area is, for now, still a real opportunity. In just the past several years since the government put its revitalization project into action, the price of real estate in the Costa Maya has already doubled. Those keen on the trends of Mexico real estate investment got in early, but with so much raw and undeveloped land, there still remain pristine coastal lots up for grabs. High end resorts and businesses have already begun to crop up around Majahual, a once sleepy fishing village just north of Belize. Additionally, cruise ships are porting in Majahual, the road running south from Cancun has been repaved and the local airport has been renovated.

AMPI Rivera Maya reports Pirating of its Members
Sites AMPI Riviera Maya, our local real estate organization, is concerned that members sites are being violated by these pirates. Allegedly, pirates are posting listings that belong to members exclusively and putting their own contact information on the listing. So that when the prospect finds the listing and makes contact, they are in fact, contacting the pirate instead of the agent. The agent then works to spin them off into some other property that they can show or present. If that does not work, they usually tell them that said property is sold and moves on. The pirates are using this technique to get new prospects off the back of the hard work of AMPI Riviera Maya's members. AMPI Riviera Maya is taking a serious look at this issue. Action may follow shortly. According the the DIGITAL MILENIUM COPYRIGHT ACT, copyright Infringement is NOW against the law on the internet and enforceable. The violated can easily get the offenders site shut down. All it takes it to file a legitimate complaint with the offenders ISP and ICANN. This action will get their shut down and their domain names taken away. In order to have an allegedly infringing website removed from a service provider's network, or have access to an allegedly infringing website disabled, the copyright owner must provide notice to the service provider with the following information: 1. The name, address, and physical or electronic signature of the complaining
party [512(c)(3)(A)(i)]

Local Professional Clarifies the Issues between Capital Gains and the New Mortgage Financing Opportunities By Shawn Bandick Hello Everyone. It has been a while since I have made the time to write an article. Now be sure it is not that I didn’t have anything to write about! On the contrary it is completely the opposite, there is just so much to say. Today let’s touch on two major topics Mortgages, Capital Gains Tax. I am seeing confusion among the buyers, about mortgages. Let me give you the straight scoop as of today. In many cases the consumer is hearing, yes you can get a loan and then the confusion starts. It is such a different market here that the consumer wouldn’t even think of all the challenges they may face in getting a loan here in Mexico. Now don’t get me wrong there are some great loan brokers out there who will do everything they can to help you, but getting the loan might only be part of the challenge. After your approval you have to find the acceptable property with a flexible seller. Also please be aware financing may be easier and more established in other areas of Mexico out side of Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya. First let’s be clear on what properties you can get a loan on. This is a changing part of the puzzle and I’m sure in the near future more options will be available but right now it is unlikely that you will be able to get a loan for commercial investment, rental property (apartment Building) or raw land. I know some lenders are very close to having construction loans available and are working on options as we speak. Now if you want to buy a family vacation home or condo then you have a good chance to get financing. Take note you are going to need to pick a property that has all the city paperwork ready. What does that mean? Well it means that new construction or preconstruction will not have all the final paper work registered with the city including individual title. So you need to choose a condo or house that is not new and has all the title work in place already. Sometimes we find people selling houses that they have had for years and they never went through the title process! This is not so unusual here but it will be a problem for your finance company. Also most lenders do not want to hear that you intend to rent this property out. The challenge here is that it now sounds like a rental investment and they want it to be your second home. Most are okay if you say you may have some incidental rental when your family and friends are not using it, that’s easy! Let’s talk about sellers. Suppose you find just the right property. Well you may still have some challenges with the seller. Why is that? Well the government is getting stronger on collecting Capital gains tax. The seller may not want to put the full selling price on the paperwork otherwise he will get hit with a substantial capital gains tax. Unfortunately everyone seems to have their own point of view on this and I have seen first hand where sellers will wait for the cash buyer so they can make their own deal. Now let’s say you make your purchase. How will you set yourself up so you don’t pay any more capital gains tax than you have to? At the time of this writing here’s what you as a foreigner have to do. When you purchase your property you apply for an FM3 as a retiree or an investor. On the FM3 you have your new property address as your residence here in Mexico. You have your contract of sale, your trust, your Fm3, and all your bills with your name and the property address on them. Then, as of the law today, when you sell (minimum of two years latter) you can show all this information and you will not have to pay capital gains. I know it sounds like a lot, but like anywhere investment property pays capital gains and your resident may not if you qualify for an exemption so take the time to set it up properly in the beginning. That’s it in a nut shell. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shawn Bandick is originally from Canada, a published author, and owns One Stop Real Estate (www.onestopmc.com).

by Bob McCain The "fideicomiso" is set up through a Mexican bank for a period of up to 50 years and can be renewed for 50 years. To acquire the land the purchaser must obtain a permit from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The buyer can lease, sell or transfer the property to another family member, and if he dies, his property can be passed to an heir. In the trust there are three elements: The trust Settlor (Fideicomitente) which may be a physical or legal Mexican person, who is the owner of the property which is to be placed in trust; the Trustee (Fiduciario) which, by law may be only a credit institution and which holds the raw real estate; and the Beneficiaries (Fideicomisarios) the legal or physical foreign persons who are the beneficiaries of the trust who obtain the use and benefit of the property. The bank (known as the trustee) holds the trust deed (known as the escritura) for the person or persons purchasing the property (known as the beneficiaries). This property is not part of the bank's assets and cannot be subject to any lien or attachment for any bank obligations. The beneficiary has all ownership rights to the property and may sell, lease, mortgage or pass on to their heirs as desired under law. A bank trust is not a lease. The Mexican government established the trust agreement as a way of protecting foreigners interested in owning property in Mexico. The reasoning was that by making ownership pass through the trust process, there would be an automatic review of the transaction to ensure it was legal and unencumbered. The bank is required to check ownership, insurance and indebtedness of the property, providing further protection to the foreign owner. Trusts are renewable at any time by filling out a simple application with the bank. It was never the intent that these properties pass back to the government at the end of the trust period. This is a common misconception and fear of most buyers. It may help in understanding the Bank Trust to compare it with the Deed of Trust, a type of financing instrument used in the U.S. People who buy homes, paying the full amount upfront, receive their titles right away. However, this rarely happens. Under a deed of trust the buyer of a house has only "equitable title," or an equity interest, with the right to use but only a restricted right to sell, until the loan is paid off, after which the owner receives the actual fee simple title. Until then it is held by a trustee, usually a bank or title company. In Mexico the Bank Trust is also held by a trustee, but the buyer never receives the actual title. Realistically many homeowners in the U.S. never receive title to their properties either, because they sell or refinance their homes before the 30-year term of their loan is complete.

Scott Colemere of Colemere Realty Associates, Salt Lake City, UT attended the seminar I did for the Salt Lake Board recently. He sent along this anecdote: "Thanks for a great seminar last Thursday and Friday in Salt Lake City. You asked me to send you an email to share with your newsletter readers and students detailing my experiences using technology in the Real Estate business. "I was sitting in your class enjoying your discussion on using technology, and just as you held up your PDA phone to show the class, I received an email on my combo PDA phone. It was a referral from another agent for a buyer in the area. I would not have otherwise received and responded to the request without the speed and convenience of the mobile technology you were suggesting that each student own. I just wanted to let you know that I am a true believer in the use of technology that one understands and uses, and I appreciate your efforts to educate the industry to its value." I love Scott's story, as it points out the value of using today's technology.
