The Mexican Real Estate Market Wants You To Fail.
Most American buyers entering the Cabo San Lucas market are completely uneducated on the dangers of the Restricted Zone. You assume the laws protect you like they do in Texas or California.
They do not. A massive percentage of "bargain" beachfront properties are legally designated as Ejido Land—agrarian community tracts that constitutionally cannot be sold to foreigners. Unethical "Notarios" will sell you a private contract that literally holds zero legal weight in a Mexican federal court.
Even worse, when you buy a titled property in Baja, you acquire the property's legal history. If the previous owner skipped 10 years of property taxes (Predial), or failed to secure a Certificate of No Liens, the government targets you.
The 3 Fatal Deal-Killers:
- ✖ Trusting a Mexican LLC to protect your beachfront home.
- ✖ Depositing escrow funds into native un-bonded Mexican bank accounts.
- ✖ Skipping the rigorous "Libertad de Gravamen" title audit before wiring capital.
The Ironclad Fideicomiso Safe Harbor.

Baja Legal FAQ
Can the Mexican Government seize my Cabo property? ▼
Absolutely not. This is a myth originating from illegal 1980s Ejido deals. A modern Fideicomiso is governed by NAFTA/USMCA and the Mexican Constitution. The government cannot seize property held in a legal Bank Trust without extreme international federal compensation.
Are the property taxes high in Los Cabos? ▼
They are astoundingly low. Typically around 0.1% of the assessed value. An estate that costs $20,000/year in taxes in California might cost roughly $600/year in property taxes (Predial) in Los Cabos.
How much does a Bank Trust cost to setup? ▼
Creation fees and first-year execution generally cost between $2,500 and $3,500 USD. Afterward, the Mexican bank charges an annual maintenance fee of roughly $500 to $700 USD to keep the trust active and legal.
What happens if I die while holding the Baja property? ▼
When we establish your Fideicomiso, we list your substitute beneficiaries in the legal code. Upon death, the property simply transfers directly to your named heirs, completely bypassing both US and Mexican probate courts.
