As we welcome 2025, there's a renewed sense of hope and excitement in the air.


A new year means fresh beginnings, and for many, it's the perfect time to turn dreams of owning a property in Cozumel into reality.


With its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and growing investment potential, this paradise offers endless opportunities to live the life you've always imagined.


Before you take the plunge, however, it's crucial to avoid common pitfalls. Here are the 🚫 Top 10 mistakes 🚫 to steer clear of when buying property in Cozumel.


  1. 📝 Skipping Research 📝 Don’t rush. Take time to understand local regulations, neighborhood dynamics, and market trends.


  2. 💸 Not Setting a Budget 💸 Determine your financial limits from the start. Unexpected costs can arise, so leave room for extras.


  3. 👩🏻‍⚖️ Ignoring Legal Requirements 👩🏻‍⚖️ Foreign buyers often need a Fideicomiso (bank trust) in restricted zones. Hire a knowledgeable lawyer to guide you.


  4. 🕵🏻‍♂️ Failing to Inspect the Property 🕵🏻‍♂️ A thorough inspection is non-negotiable. Check for structural issues, plumbing, and electrical systems.


  5. 📈 Overlooking Hidden Fees 📈 Closing costs, taxes, and maintenance fees can add up. Clarify all expenses before signing anything.


  6. 🚗 Choosing the Wrong Location 🚗 Beachfront might be dreamy, but consider factors like transportation, local amenities, and safety.


  7. 🐀 Not Working with Reputable Agents 🐀 Partner with licensed real estate professionals who know the market and can protect your interests.


  8. 🤑 Skipping Rental Income Research 🤑 If you plan to rent out your property, understand the local demand and regulations for vacation rentals.


  9. ☕️ Misjudging the Timeline ☕️ Real estate transactions in Mexico can take longer than expected. Patience is essential to avoid stress.


  10. 👵🏻 Failing to Plan for the Long Term 👵🏻 Consider your future goals—whether you’ll use the property as a second home, vacation rental, or retirement haven.

If I wanted to spend $200,000 USD on my home, what are the closing costs? I want to know the total cash required to buy property.
