There are a number of articles out there talking about the scams associated with Mexican real estate, and rightfully so. From bogus contracts to ground never being broken on homes and countless other nightmares, there have been enough horror stories from people who have attempted to buy beachfront property in Mexico that people are justified in feeling wary about it.
However, there are also several legitimate opportunities to invest in Mexico beachfront property, and for great deals, too. You just need to be aware of the right questions to ask and make sure you thoroughly understand the process so you can catch any red flags that may arise.
If you are considering buying beachfront property in Mexico, be sure to ask lots of questions, such as the following:
- What does the financing process look like?
- Who will be building my home? Have they been qualified by the developer?

- What is the current land value?
- What is the timeframe for completing the building of my home?
