doesn't sound like ownership to me.

Most of the property owned by Americans and Canadians in Mexico is at
least 30 miles from shore. Folks in LA regularly drive further than that
going to work each day. Those who insist on beachfront property (which
is different from the original statement) have the option of investing
in a hundred year bank trust with full ownership rights. So, in 3006 you
can apply for naturalization to retain your, by then, $10,000,000.00
beachfront home you originally acquired for $120,000. Mexico represents
a better buy than Floriduh...and far better fishing.

So you can own beachfront property but only over your dead body. I
will be 160 in 3006.

Then you better take better care of yourself.

I thought that guy's posts sounded a bit immature.

And a whole bunch of you need some remedial math lessons.

Write on the blackboard 100 times:

2006 + 100 = 2106
2006 + 100 = 2106
2006 + 100 = 2106
2006 + 100 = 2106

That was some creative math he was using! :-)

You are factually incorrect, sir. Americans can own and hold full title
to land in Mexico.

Skipper, again, you are just wrong.

As usual, Gene, you are incorrect once again. My statement is absolutely
correct.


You were talking about the "great deals" in San Carlos. I said that you
wouldn't own the land...which is correct.

"In addition, foreigners may buy property near the border and the coastline
in the area referred to as the restricted zone (about 31 miles inland from
the ocean and about 62 miles from the borders) AS THE BENEFICIARY OF A BANK
TRUST.
The bank holds technical legal title to the real estate and the foreigner is
the beneficiary of the trust. The bank acts on behalf of the beneficiary
like any trustee must act. The beneficiary may use the ownership interest in
the trust as collateral for a loan. That interest may also be transferred by
will or through a typical sale process like other real estate interests.
ALTHOUGH THE FOREIGNER DOES NOT TECHNICALLY OWN A DIRECT INTEREST IN THE
REAL ESTATE, the foreigner's rights to use and deal with the property are
very similar to outright ownership."



You can't own land in San Carlos.

Your math is about as sound as your real estate knowledge.
