We have an STR in Mexico.

-Mexico citizen, born and raised in Colorado, and over the past few years I’ve been actively investing in Mexican real estate — mostly in presale condos and long-term or vacation rental markets like Guadalajara, Cancún, and Lake Chapala.I originally started by looking for affordable, well-located properties for personal use, but as I dug deeper, I realized there were real opportunities for long-term appreciation, rental income, and geographic diversification — often with as little as $20–30k down.The process isn’t as complicated as people think, but there are definitely key things to understand, including:How foreigners can legally own property in Mexico (especially in restricted zones like the coast),How presale contracts and developer relationships work,What kinds of rental strategies are viable in different markets (Airbnb, mid-term, or traditional long-term),Currency and exchange rate considerations, title safety, and banking between the U.S. and Mexico.One major advantage of presale in Mexico is that many developers offer in-house, interest-free financing during construction, allowing buyers to spread out payments over 24–36 months — without involving a bank or mortgage process.

To my knowledge New Mexico and maybe a few other states allow full anonymous LLCs.

In most places, the winning listings paired sharp pricing with irresistible visuals and broad syndication so they could still move in under two months.What stood out this monthLargest month over month DOM jumps:  New Mexico +47%, Newark +22%, Providence +19%, Minneapolis +19%, Seattle +19% How landlords can win when DOM stretchesPrice like a pro - watch real-time listing feedback and market comps so you do not sit overpriced.

People locally here vacation in Mexico for the weekend.

Just curious to know why you picked Mexico over the U.S.

I have a lot of investors who self manage from Mexico or other states.

We have some lender partners we refer to for Mexico, Spain, Puerto Rico, and Portugal.

I looked around my neck of the woods, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Oklahoma and I looked at safety, prices, appreciation, cash flow, landlord friendliness, property taxes, insurance rates, growth, high tech moving in, job growth, disasters and availability of good deals.I settled on Arizona.

Last one - flipped to a completely paid off STR in Mexico and our dream property and eventual riverfront STR.
