Fox Says Successor Calderon to Inherit Strong Economy (Update3) By Thomas Black
Mexico will have a fiscal surplus, create more than a million jobs this year, pay out to states 75 billion pesos ($6.9 billion) more than allotted under the 2006 budget and receive $12 billion of automobile-industry investment in the next two years, Fox said in a speech during a border conference in Mexicali, Baja California.
"This year is a good year as will be next year in what promises to be an accelerated start for the next government and the economy,'' Fox said
Trump Resort seen as Boon for Region
The entry of a world-renowned group such as that of Mr. Trump validates completely what we have been saying for many years,” said Gabriel Robles, the president of ADETUR, a major association of Baja resort developers.
Trump plans to build a 526-unit condo hotel, with units ranging from 532 to 2,200 square feet, selling from the mid-$200,000s to more than $1 million. Construction is expected to begin this year and finish in 2008. The cost of the project is undisclosed.
“The Baja Norte market provides tremendous opportunities for investment in a secure, government-supported business climate,” said Robles. “The Trump Organization is first-class and its presence in our region will certainly go a long way in providing our buyers and investors with a real confirmation that they have made a sound decision to buy in this area.”

What is a "Fideicomiso" or Mexican Property Trust?

The "Gunslinger Days" of buying property in Mexico are over. Banking on the words "That's the way we do business here!", and trusting "Thy Seller", have given way to U.S. Title Insurance and bonded escrow accounts. During the last ten years, property in Mexico has become a lucrative and viable investment strategy, bringing with it a new breed of sophisticated investors. U.S. title insurance, bonded escrow accounts and comprehensive title searches are "in"... promises and handshakes are "out". Owning property in Mexico is easier and safer than ever, because now there are established and well defined rules regarding non-Mexicans owning land in Mexico. These rules are in place to protect your ownership rights and to promote the sale of real estate to foreign investors. The key is a safe, established and perpetually renewable Mexican Property Trust called a "Fideicomiso". What is a "Fideicomiso" or Mexican Property Trust? With the advent of North American Treaty Agreement, the Mexican Government recognized that it was critical to make foreign investment in Mexico safer and easier than ever. Because the Mexican Constitution prohibits foreigners from purchasing or owning real estate within 60 miles of an international border or within 30 miles of the Mexican Coast, a new, safe method of holding title was created. This new instrument, modeled after the one in Monaco, allows ownership through a Mexican Property Trust, called a "Fideicomiso". This is a trust agreement, much like an estate trust, giving you all the rights of ownership. The Department of Foreign Affairs in Mexico City issues a permit to a Mexican Bank of your choice, allowing the bank to act as purchaser for the property. The bank acts as the "Trustee" for the Trust and you are the "Beneficiary" of the Trust. This is not an asset of the bank; they simply act as the Trustee to hold the Trust. Much like Living Wills or Estate Trusts in the U.S., the Mexican Bank, or Trustee, takes instructions only from the Beneficiary of the Trust (You). The Beneficiary has the right to use, occupy and possess the property, including the right to build on it or otherwise improve it. The Beneficiary may also sell the property by instructing the Trustee to transfer the rights to another qualified owner, or bequeath the property to an inheritor. The initial term of the trust is 50 years, and it can be renewed for an additional periods of 50 years indefinitely, providing for long-term control of the asset. You have all the rights of a property owner in the U.S. or Canada, including the right to enjoy the property, sell the property, rent the property, improve the property, etc. This is not to be confused with a "land lease." The property you buy is placed in a trust with you named as the Beneficiary of the trust - you are not a lessee. If the property you purchase is already held in a Trust, you have the option of assuming that Trust, or having the property vested in a new Trust. How Long Does It Take To Get A Trust? Realty Executives Mexico, work with Federal and State Notaries for all our closings, and to secure your new Trust. (In Mexico, a Notario Publico is much different than in the United States, more like a Clerk of Courts.) On average, we can obtain your Trust within 60 days and in some cases, we have actually transferred title in as little as two to three weeks. We oversee the entire process and make certain you understand each and every step involved. We can even provide you with an English sample Trust for you to review. You would be amazed how many people have only a simple buy/sell agreement between themselves and the seller as evidence of ownership. This is not a safe method of ownership and is not recommended by Realty Executives Mexico or Stewart Title Guaranty. Rule Number 1: Always get your Trust. When Do I Pay For My Property? When you have clear title, exactly like you would anywhere else. By using our U.S., bonded, third party Escrow service with Stewart Title Guaranty, Houston Texas, your money is held in an individually numbered, bonded and insured escrow account until your Trust is complete and the property rights have been transferred to you. We do not recommend that you release funds to a seller unless you have received your Trust first. Purchasing property without receiving a Trust is simply buying without receiving the title in your name, which is risky and not recommended. Fact: Until you have received your Trust, and rights to the property have been transferred to you, the legal owner of record in Mexico is still the previous owner. Fact: You cannot bypass Mexican Taxes or fees by not getting your Trust, even if you sell the property to someone else before you have your Trust in place. Do I Need Title Insurance? Whether you buy real estate in the U.S. or Mexico, Realty Executives Mexico recommends U.S. Title Insurance for every property you purchase. You have insurance for your car, your home and your health, why not purchase it for one of your largest investments, your property. Realty Executives Mexico will not represent or sell any property in Mexico that cannot be covered by a U.S. Title insurance policy with Stewart Title Guaranty, Houston Texas. Fact: U.S. Title Insurance is available for properties in Mexico purchased by U.S. Citizens. Fact: Just because you have a Trust does not ensure you have free and clear title. In a Stewart Title property search, the properties title is searched all the way back to the Mexican Revolution. Most title searches to secure a Trust only go back one or two owners of record. How Can I Own My Property? In the Trust document, you must name the Beneficiary or foreign owner for the property. This can be you personally, multiple partners, a foreign corporation, an estate trust, a living will, or other entity. The Trustee of the Trust (the Mexican Bank) will take direction from whomever you name as the Beneficiary. Fact: You can name a U.S. Corporation as the Beneficiary of the Trust. This is perfectly legal. Fact: If you sell more than 25% of the shares in the U.S. Corporation, you have created a real estate transaction in Mexico, and all Mexican Taxes apply. (This is Article 151 of the Mexican Revenue Code and is also declared in the International Tax Treaty between the U.S. and Mexico. If this is done, and you do not pay the Mexican Taxes, you will have created a tax burden over the property for the new owner.) Fact: You can own a property in a Mexican Corporation and take title fee simple only if the property is for development or investment purposes. Fact: You cannot own property through Mexican Corporation to by-pass the Trust process. Fact: It is against the law for a foreigner to own property in a Mexican Corporation for residential purposes. Realty Executives Mexico is the recognized real estate leader in Puerto Vallarta .We understand the local laws regarding ownership of real estate in Mexico by foreign investors, and we will put this knowledge to work for you... making sure your investment is secure.
