Questions owners ask us
Q.Do I need an RFC to rent out my property?
A.In most cases, yes. With an RFC registered at the SAT you can file correctly and the platforms withhold less. We review your case first.
Q.Can a foreigner own property near the beach?
A.Yes. Within 50 km of the coast, foreigners hold residential property through a fideicomiso or a Mexican company. We help you choose and set up the right one.
Q.What happens to my property here if I pass away?
A.Your fideicomiso can name substitute beneficiaries, and a Mexican will covers the rest. Reviewing both now spares your heirs a long succession.
Q.I haven’t filed for my rental. What now?
A.It can usually be fixed. We review what is pending, calculate what is owed and bring you up to date, ideally before the SAT contacts you.
