Can we buy land legally in Mexico if we are American citizens?

No, you cannot own property in Mexico unless you are a citizen.  Too bad the US didn't think of that 100 years ago, then the Saudis would not own our counrty.

Here's the thing...the US bought a huge chunk of the Southwest from Mexico in the first place.  If they want it back, I suggest they break out the check-book.

Contact people that work in realestate in canada and the u.s. they could probably answer your questions. but you don't have to buy property to immigrate.

Anyone, foreign citizen or otherwise, can own property in the US. Permanent residency allows you to buy and permanently live in a house in the US. It does not allow you to receive any benefits that are given only to citizens, meaning you cannot get social security or vote, and likely hold political office, though that may depend on the office. To receive those rights, you must become a naturalized citizen.

Yes they can.  Lots of Canadians own property in the US just as lots of people from the US own property in Canada.

As a Mexican living in Mexico (I'm an architect and make a pretty decent living here) I just can't believe you're so ignorant to ask this question. Of course that dealers do NOT own Mexico.\nyes we have drug dealing trouble, maybe the same as you in US. I really hope you can travel a little and visit my beautiful country, so you can verify by yourself the lies told by the media.

Yes, thanks to their economic crash their selling their land to anybody.  \n\nP.S. To the guy who answered "why not?" some country's wont let non citizens own land in their country.  For example Mexico wouldn't let non citizens own land, you could lease it for 30,50,70,99 years but then it would go back to the government.  But thanks to the N.A.F.T.A. Americans and Canadians now can.  Vietnam, we cant own or lease land longer than 30 years in.

You can get a residence visa without investing in a company.  You have to live for 3 years without legal problems, then take tests, etc. to be accepted.  To own land I believe you have to invest in a business of about $1M US.

If his assets are in Mexico, definitely not. Even if his assets are in the US, you'll have a hard time. They usually only freeze assets for people who have committed crimes or owe the government money.\n\nIf he's already in Mexico, I'd say he got the jump on you, and you're probably wasting money on lawyers.

Can't think of any ethical challanges, but legal ones certainly. You will need all kinds of permits, you will need a Mexican business lawyer and plenty of pesos.

I live in Mexico and I am realtor and have been for 16 years and I sell to many foreigners and all property here is in a non restricted area. What you have been told by this notary is not true -.there is no 25% fee. Foreigners own the property outright if purchased in their name. The only requirement is foreigners have to apply for a permit to buy. Buyer has to pay the notary his fees which can vary from 1% to 2% of the purchase price. Please add details to your question - I would like to know what the 4.3% fee is for\nADDED NOTE:\nNone of my clients or other realtors' clients that I know of have had to pay a sales tax or a registration fee The registration is included in the fee paid to the notary. It is customary for the seller to pay the realtor's 6% commission but that is sometimes negotiable. You should deal with a different notary. The only fee buyer has to pay is that for the permit to buy. I can be emailed - see my profile.

Do you truly want hand over control of one of the most powerful military forces the world has yet seen and have them safegaurd national interests to illegal immagrants?  The best way for them to prove they want to be American citizens is to follow the legal process.  And a large number have no desire to be American citizens, only to work here long enough to retire back in Mexico where it's cheaper to live.

Nuke 'em all!\n\nNote this:\n\n1. If you migrate to this county, you must speak the native language \n \n2. You have to be a professional or an investor. No unskilled workers allowed. \n \n3. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, all government business will be conducted in our language. \n \n4. Foreigners will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here. \n \n5 Foreigners will NEVER be able to hold political office. \n \n6. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs. \n \n7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage. \n \n8. If foreigners do come and want to buy land that will be okay, BUT options will be restricted. You are not allowed waterfront property. That is reserved for citizens naturally born into this country. \n \n9. Foreigners may not protest; no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies, if you do you will be sent home. \n \n10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be hunted down and sent straight to jail. \n \n \nHarsh, you say? The above laws happen to be the immigration laws of MEXICO!

No, unless you are in California and your neighbour is in Mexico.

Absolutely, many foreigners own US real estate.  In fact, being from Florida, I can tell you that many of the condos are being purchased by people living in Central & South America.\n\nIn fact, there are mortgage programs specifically available for foreign nationals, too.\n\nI'd recommend finding a location that you would like to own in first, and after that, consider looking for a real estate agent that you would like to work with.\n\nHappy property buying...
