In our previous article we offered to embark on some of the aspects —in addition to the value of the property— that must be taken into consideration before casting your line when fishing for real estate in Mazatlan... and here we go!
Expert investors agree that the cost generated by the search of real estate must be considered as an investment to be assigned and made intelligently; never straying or losing the sight of the true object of your angling and what you will obtain from your catch. In other words, it is not the same to search for a vacation or dream villa, than looking to acquire a place for retirement, or one that will produce you a rental income.
Aside from the purpose or motivation to acquire property in Mazatlan, the first and foremost must be carrying out a time and effort-consuming research process. Every investor or buyer knows that it is quite wise to do some serious investigation of the best options before casting their hook to fish and buy, though the following aspects (among others) are always to be considered before and during your real estate fishing expedition in Mazatlan:
Remember you are fishing in unfathomed seas and zones, the real estate market conditions may be totally different to those of your place of origin. Take your time to get to know them and understand them before you negotiate or make your purchase offer. One thing you can be sure of when investing in Mazatlan, the appreciation in an ocean-front touristic and cultural destination like this [and there is no other like it in Mexico], will always give you high yield in the short and medium term.
Procedures to make an offer, as well as purchase contracts may also be different and in some cases they may depend on the kind of property you wish to acquire. Learn some on what you have to do to proceed to negotiate or to make an offer, and use the available tools [in the coming articles we will be sharing with you what some real estate experts in Mexico and in Mazatlan recommend].
How will you be using or profiting from your property? A basic must that can easily be overlooked, and according to some experts, the reason why a large number of foreign investors and buyers —even though having made a profitable negotiation—, are today not one hundred percent satisfied with their investment.
Once you have located the property you want to acquire; is there a golden rule to obtain the expected percentage of discount on the value of the property by just asking for it upon making an offer? Or does it depend on each circumstance? Or should one just… forget all about it?
There is a great amount of benefits in acquiring real estate in Mexico. Among others, taxes are minimal compared to the United States and Canada.
Who will represent you to make the offer? Is it someone patient enough to listen to you, to understand your specific requirements, as well as to explain to you each of the steps you need to take before and during the closing of the deal?
And after the closing of the deal? Who will be counseling you?... especially if you intend to live in your new home in the Paradise of Mazatlan!
Over and above the kind of deal you would rather fish/acquire in Mazatlan, be it directly from an owner, through a real estate broker, a developer of an exclusive condominium or residential project with all services and amenities [presently in high demand], it is most advisable that in your real estate fishing adventure in Mazatlan ― aiming at obtaining the best possible value from your investment―, that you are supported by a qualified representative who, besides being a professional, understands and shares the differences between different business cultures.
