Mexico is currently one of the countries with one of the most interesting offers for investment in real estate. This is due to the diversity of prices, the variety of available credits, attractive rates, and trendy designs.
Furthermore, economic changes and crises have so far managed to make real estate one of the safest investments available. According to data from the Ministry of Economy, they offer a tangible valuation and returns of up to 30% profit in the first year and provide financial stability in the medium and long term.
At that point, one of the most innovative options for investing in real estate that has become a trend in recent years is real estate crowdfunding. To such an extent that collective funding platforms for real estate have raised nearly 9,000 million pesos in the capital, with a growth of 695% in the last five years, according to data from the Association of Collective Funding Platforms (Afico).
“Thanks to the latest technologies and new regulations and others that are yet to come, crowdfunding is one of the best ways today to finance a real estate investment,” explained Iván Carmona, co-founder of 100 Ladrillos, a crowdfunding platform, about this alternative real estate.
Mexico has various options in its mortgage market, which include residential projects, luxury developments, hotels, vacation homes, warehouses, and offices, therefore, Carmona points out which are the best cities to invest in.
Mérida, Yucatán: For Víctor Manuel Requejo, president of the Board of Directors of Banco Inmobiliario Mexicano (BIM), “the entire region has great economic development. There is a lot of work, especially technical and specialized jobs. In addition, housing will be built along the Tren Maya.”
Furthermore, the so-called “white city” is considered by the UN as one of the destinations with the highest quality of life, due to security, ease of investment, and a growing capital gain that is, in turn, the cause of the creation of new jobs.
Among the investment possibilities, experts recommend premium residential housing, thanks to its low prices, and since 2018, the square meter has been worth 50% less than in Mexico City.
Cuernavaca, Morelos. Its attractiveness as an investment destination partially responds to the Covid-19 pandemic. During confinement, vacation homes became excellent options as permanent residences, once the home office was enabled in some companies.
In addition, housing prices remained around 44% cheaper than in Mexico City. Added to this are good weather conditions and green areas, as well as infrastructure similar to that of the capital.
Tulum, Quintana Roo. Quintana Roo is not only considered the state with the best beaches in the country, but it also has an annual occupancy of 17 million visitors. Among the developments with exponential growth, Tulum stands out. Since 2015, the value of properties in this area has increased by 8% annually, which attracts exclusive investors in the residential and hotel sectors.
San Luís Potosí, San Luís Potosí. This city has become a strategic point for making investments in real estate, this is because its industrial activity has had a growth of 17% in the last 10 years; a fact that has generated more than 63 thousand formal jobs.
According to an analysis by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) in 2017, this growth is due to the tourism, manufacturing, construction, and mining industries.
Los Cabos, Baja California Sur. Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, Los Cabos is a destination with great appeal due to a combination of its beaches, desert landscapes, and imposing canyons. In addition to having a wide range of tourist attractions and good connectivity.
Thus, in the last period, a series of residential-type real estate developments have emerged, with characteristics typical of a luxury market.
