Why Currency Matters in Real Estate
Many properties in Mexico—especially in tourist hotspots like Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Cancún—are priced in U.S. dollars. However, daily expenses like property management, HOA fees, maintenance, and even construction labor are peso-based.
This creates a powerful formula:
-
Buy in USD
-
Earn in USD or MXN through rentals
-
Pay local expenses in pesos
The result? Higher net returns and a competitive advantage for dollar-based investors.
Investor Insight
