Corporate, Business & Real Estate Services for Foreign Investors
Foreign investment, company setup, and real estate legal services in Cabo San Lucas. Title search, contracts, and tax alliances for expat investors.
For foreigners investing in Mexico who need corporate, tax, and legal advice on foreign investment — including company setup and property acquisition — Immigration Solutions provides coordinated legal support from our Cabo San Lucas office.
Foreign investment in Cabo San Lucas often intersects immigration status, corporate structure, and property law. A purchase in the restricted zone near the coast may require a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican corporation. Business operations may require employer registration and work permits for foreign managers or staff.
We help secure real-estate transactions through title search and review of purchase contracts and building licenses. Through strategic alliances with accounting firms, we connect clients with tax advice and planning appropriate to their investment structure — while we focus on the legal and immigration framework.

Questions we hear often
Yes, with appropriate legal structures.

We review each transaction individually.

Yes. We review contracts and building licenses as part of real estate due diligence and can coordinate municipal permit questions through our local relationships in Cabo San Lucas.
Residency is not always a legal prerequisite for property acquisition through a fideicomiso, but immigration status affects your long-term plans, tax residency, and ability to work or operate a business. We recommend an integrated plan before signing binding purchase agreements.
A Mexican corporation can hold property, including in the restricted zone for non-residential uses subject to foreign investment notification rules. Corporate ownership has tax and compliance implications — we review structure with allied accountants.
If your Mexican company will employ foreign nationals, INM employer registration is required before work-permit applications. We handle employer registration alongside corporate setup when foreign staff are part of the plan.
