Conde Nast Traveller : Why buy Mexico ?
|
|

What is just getting underway is what many are calling the "Largest southern migration to Mexico of people and real estate assets since the Civil War" A significant percentage of the Baby Boomer s have been doing the research and are making the life changing decision to move out of the U.S.A.
The number one retirement destination in the world is Mexico. There are already over 2,000,000 US and Canadian property owners in Mexico. The most conservative number of American and Canadian Baby Boomers who are on their way to owning property in Mexico for full or part time living in the next 15 years is over 6,000,000. Do the math on 6,000,000 people buying a $300,000 house or condo and you will understand why the U.S. Government is trying to tax this massive shift of money to Mexico through H.R. 3056. The U.S government calls this "The Tax Collection Responsibility Act of 2007". Those who will haveto pay it are calling this the EXIT TAX. Another large exodus from the U.S.A is high paying skilled jobs. The job shift in automobile sector, both car and parts manufacturing, is already known by most investors. In the last few months as John Deere and Caterpillar have been laying off thousands of workers in the U.S.A., and hiring equal numbers in Mexico.
The most recent industry that is making the shift is the aerospace manufacturers. In the city of Zacatecas there is currently a $210 million aerospace facility being built. With the 11 U.S. companies moving there, it is estimated to provide over 200,000 new high paying jobs in the coming years. One of the main factors for the shift in job south to Mexico instead of China is realistic analysis of total production, labor and delivery costs. While the labor costs in China are 40% less on average, the overall transportation costs and inherent risks of a long distance supply chain, and quality control issues, gives Mexico a distinct financial advantage.
Mexico's real economic future Mexico has avoided completely the subprime problem that has devastated the U.S. banking industry. The Mexican banks are healthy and profitable. Mexico has a growing and very healthy middle and upper middle class. The very recent introduction of residential financing has Mexico in a unique position of having over 90% of current homeowners owning their house outright. U .S. banks are competing for the Mexican, Canadian and American cross border loan business. It is and will continue to be a very safe and very profitatable business. These same banks that were loaning in a reckless manner have learned their lesson and are loaning here the old fashioned way. They require a minimum of a 680 credit score, 30% down payment, and verifiable income that can support the loan. In most areas of Mexico where Baby Boomers are moving to, with the exception of Puerto Penasco (which did not have a national and international base of buyers), there is no real estate bubble. The higher end markets ($2-20 million) in many of these destinations are going through a modest correction. The Baby Boomers market here is between $200,000 and $600,000. With the continuing demand inside the Bay of Banderas, that price point, in the coming years, will disappear. This is the reason the Mexican government is spending billions o f dollars on more infrastructure north along the coast all the way up to Mazatlan. The other major area where America has become overpriced is in the field of health care. This massive shift of revenues is estimated to add 5-7% to Mexico's GDP. The name for this "business" is Medical Tourism. The two biggest competitors for Mexico were Thailand and India. Thailand and India's biggest drawback is geography. Also recent events, Thailand's inability to keep a government in place and the recent terrorist attack in Mumbai, have helped Mexico capture close to half of this growth industry. In Mexico today there are over 56 world class hospitals being built to keep up with this business.
Mexico is currently sitting on a cash surplus and an almost balanced budget. Most Americans have never heard of Carlos Slim until he loaned the New York Times $250 million. After that it became clear to many investors around the world what Mexicans already knew: that Mexico had been able to avoid the worst of the U.S. economic devastation. Mexico's resilience is to be admired. When the U.S. Federal Reserve granted a $30 billion loan to each of the following countries Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, and Brazil, Mexico reinvested the money in Treasury bonds in an account in New York City.
According to oil traders, Mexico's Pemex wisely as the price of oil shot to $147 a barrel put in place an investment strategy that hinged on oil trading in the range of $38-$60 a barrel. Since the beginning of 2009 Mexico has been collecting revenues on hedged positions that give them $90-$110 per barrel today. Mexico's recent and under reported oil discovery in the Palaeo Channels of Chicontepec has placed it third in the world for oil reserves, right behind Canada and Saudi Arabia.
The following is a quote from Rosalind Wilson, President of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce on March 19, 2009. "The strength of the Mexican economic system makes the country a favorite destination for Canadian investment".
I would offer a word of caution for investors in Mexico. Do not be seduced by the endless natural beauty that is everywhere, both inland in colonial towns and along thousands of miles of beach. Apply conservative medium and long term investment strategies without emotion.
The demand for full and part time living by American and Canadian Baby Boomers is evident throughout the country. The top two choice locations are ocean front, and ocean view. The third overall choice, which is less expensive, is inland in one of the many beautiful colonial towns or small cities.
Mexico, with the world's 13th largest GDP, is no longer a "Third World Country", but rather a fast growing, economically secure state, as the most recent five-year history of its financial markets when compared to the US.'s financial markets suggest. *DOW JONES MAY 2004 10,200 MAY 2009 8,200 20% LOSS IN 5 YEARS

2010 Mexico Peso out performs 16 other major currencies
|
|
Posted on April 29, 2010 by Dan Prescher, International Living Mexican Money Rising from a record low during the global financial crisis last year, the peso in Mexico is currently the biggest gainer in strength of 16 major currencies. The peso stood at 12.28 to one U.S. dollar on Wednesday morning. In March of 2009, the peso hit a record low of 15.58 to the dollar. Helping the peso was speculation that the debt crisis in Europe could be limited by action from the European Economic Community. Experts agree that economies in Latin America are strong enough to withstand limited contagion from a European debt crisis. The strength of the peso in Mexico is a mixed blessing for U.S. and Canadian expats living there full or part time. It means on the one hand that the Mexican economy is resilient, but on the other hand that the U.S. and Canadian dollar aren’t going as far as they did in 2009. However, the effects of fluctuations in the peso in Mexico are relatively small when seen in the context of Mexico’s low cost of living, excellent and affordable health care, and very low taxes. Mexico has a larger population of U.S. expats than any other country, many seeking to maintain a quality lifestyle that is increasingly being priced out of reach north of the border. |
New Proposal in Mexican Senate to simplify property ownership for foreigner
|
|
|
Easier Clearer purchase process proposed A new proposal, now being reviewed in Mexican Congress, moves to allow foreigners to buy real estate through a direct deed anywhere in the country. When passed, this will simplify the purchase process of property for foreigners. Currently foreigners can buy real estate through a direct deed in the country except in the "restricted zone", which is within 50 km of beaches and 100 kms of the boarders, per Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution. In this 'restricted zone', a foreigner can buy land through a Mexican bank trust, as the trust beneficiary. The trust beneficiary has all the rights and obligations of ownership, and can sell, rent, improve and bequeath the property as any owner would. Contrary to popular misconception, the foreign owner owns the property in perpetuity; it is NOT "leased" property with a date of expiration. This restricted zone was created within the Mexican constitution as protection against foreign invasion and further loss of land and culture. It seemed wise at the time, in 1917. 
However, it became evident that foreign investment was a good thing so, ultimately in 1998, rather than amend the whole Mexican constitution, this path of the bank trust was created. Since then hundreds of thousands of foreign investors have purchased land in a bank trust with in the restricted zone. If this measure passes in congress, it will be a boon to the real estate industry, as it will clear any misconceptions held by foreigners, making the beaches and borders even more valuable for those who have already purchased here. Closing times will be shortened, as will the expense of closing. This is all good news. While there have been other proposals with similar intent before Mexican senate, this one appears to have a few things on its side. One is that it has been backed by 8 Senators from different parties. Real Estate and Tourism have been closely linked together, so that if one is healthy the other is also. Tourism is a major source of jobs, income and economic development. So this proposal has the eye of government as they attempt to rebuild the tourism industry after a tough year last year. What is up against it? Probably the banks as the revenue stream that comes from the initial opening cost of the trust will virtually disappear as will the annual maintenance fee. In all though, time will tell as it is not an easy task to change a constitution in any country
