For Mexican Buyers

Mexicans Buying Florida Real Estate

Mexican buyers are drawn to Florida for proximity, lifestyle, and investment. Buying is straightforward — here is what to know, from a CIPS and Florida real estate attorney.

Arthur Simpson — Attorney, Broker & Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), and a member of the Real Property and International Law Sections of The Florida Bar.

You can own it

Mexican citizens can buy Florida real estate — homes, condos, land, and investments — with the same ownership rights as Americans. No visa or residency required.

Financing & currency

Pay cash or use a foreign-national loan (no U.S. credit, ~20–30% down). The peso-to-dollar rate matters — plan your transfer timing.

Taxes & ITIN

Expect to need an ITIN for financing or rentals; FIRPTA applies at sale. A cross-border CPA keeps U.S. and Mexican taxes aligned.

We guide the whole way

From contract to title to closing — often remotely — a CIPS attorney-broker protects your purchase. See how we help →
