Buying from Mexico: your checklist
Identity, funds, and closing requirements are confirmed by the lender, escrow, and title professionals. Not every transaction can close remotely, and no single ownership structure suits everyone. Purchasing property does not confer residency or visa status.
Glossary
- Escrow
- A neutral third party holds funds and documents until all conditions of the sale are met.
- Title insurance
- Protects against defects in ownership records. Comparable in purpose to a notary's title review in Mexico.
- Earnest money
- A good-faith deposit made after an offer is accepted, held in escrow.
- ITIN
- A U.S. tax identification number issued by the IRS to people without an SSN. Some situations may require one; ask your tax advisor.
- HOA
- Homeowners association: community rules and monthly or annual dues.
- Contingencies
- Conditions written into the contract—such as inspection or financing—that must be met for the sale to proceed. If one is not met, you can usually withdraw and recover your deposit.
- Closing costs
- The one-time expenses paid when the sale completes: title and escrow fees, taxes, and lender charges. They are separate from the price of the home.
