Question 1

Can foreigners buy real estate in Los Cabos Mexico?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Foreign buyers can legally own property in Los Cabos through a fideicomiso (bank trust), which grants full ownership rights — including the ability to sell, rent, renovate, and pass the property to heirs. BajaSmart Real Estate guides foreign buyers through every step of the process.

Question 2

What are closing costs in Los Cabos for foreign buyers?

Accepted Answer

Closing costs in Los Cabos typically run between 5% and 9% of the purchase price. This includes ISABI (3% acquisition tax), notary fees (1%–1.5%), fideicomiso setup ($1,500–$2,500), technical documentation, escrow, and due diligence.

Question 3

What are the best communities to buy in Los Cabos?

Accepted Answer

Top luxury communities in Los Cabos include Cabo del Sol, Pedregal, Quivira, Palmilla, Puerto Los Cabos, Querencia, and Punta Ballena. BajaSmart Real Estate specializes in all of these communities and can help match you to the right area for your lifestyle and budget.

Question 4

What areas does BajaSmart Real Estate serve?

Accepted Answer

BajaSmart Real Estate serves Los Cabos (Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo), Todos Santos, East Cape, and La Paz — covering the full luxury real estate market of Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Question 5

Is Todos Santos a good place to buy real estate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Todos Santos is a Pueblo Mágico located on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur, known for its art scene, world-class surf, and eco-luxury properties. It offers strong vacation rental potential and is one of the fastest-appreciating markets in the region.

Question 6

What makes East Cape real estate unique?

Accepted Answer

East Cape is Baja's last frontier — offering pristine Sea of Cortez beaches, legendary surf breaks like 9 Palms and Shipwrecks, and Cabo Pulmo National Park. With the East Cape Road being paved in 2026, infrastructure is improving rapidly, making now an ideal time to invest before prices rise.

Question 7

Why buy real estate in La Paz instead of Los Cabos?

Accepted Answer

La Paz offers a more tranquil lifestyle on the Sea of Cortez with lower entry prices than Los Cabos, strong rental yield potential, and UNESCO-recognized natural surroundings. It is the fastest-growing expat market in Baja California Sur and represents significant upside for early buyers.
