1.- Set your budget.

This is the most important aspect, since it is which will define the property you will have access to, whereby, if you think your budget is not enough yet, we recommend you to wait and save up more until you get a considerable quantity.

2.- Be patience, contemplate the time.

if your idea is to sell your property you should know this will take time. To generate capital gain, you have to wait for some years, it value will increase and then, it will be the appropriate moment to sell it.

3.- Look over the details with maximum security. 

When acquiring a property, make sure all the documents are in order, free of lien, registered in the public registry, etc. This will get you out of trouble in the future.

4.- Invest in presale.

The most attractive option to invest, since when you acquire a property in presale (in an early stage of construction) you will pay a lower price, giving you the opportunity to generate a greater capital gain when the construction concluded. For that, it is preferable to do research about the developer who offers the property in order to make sure about the reliability of the purchase.

5.- Make of the “location, location, location”.

The location of the property is essential; however, it also depends on the use you want for the estate. If it is a commercial local, the ideal is that it is located in ideally, it should be in an area with a large flow of people. On the other hand, if your desire is to sell a house for a family with kids, maybe, the most viable will be a calm zone with nearby schools and parks.

6.- Consider to buy for remodeling and selling.

This can be an unattractive option, nevertheless, experts point out you can get even a 30% of utilities.

7.- Invest to rent in a higher price.

As its name indicates, you can purchase a property to rent it later, for that, take into account that maybe you will have to invest a little bit more to make some adjustments to increase its value.

Well, these are the most relevant points when investing in Real Estate. Remember to get organize everything and take your process from the hand of experts on the subject, as well as choose the option that best suits with your budget.

Oaxaca, Cultural Heritage of the Humanity, is a state with a vast gastronomic diversity, touristic attractions, indigenous languages and traditions that delight locals and strangers.

The traditions in Oaxaca are the result of the mixture of indigenous ancestral customs and the new practices that the Spanish brought with them. One of them, and without doubt, the most significant, is the day of the dead, which is part of Mexican folklore, however, it is in Oaxaca where it is lived in a unique way.

So, let’s talk about what this emblematic tradition consists of. This is celebrated on the first and second of November, where according to the belief of the original peoples, the souls of those who are no longer on the earthly plane with us return to visit us. Through the years, and with the influence of the Spanish, this tradition was modified until what we know today with the assembly of the traditional altar of the dead, where fruits such as tangerines, jícamas, peanuts and cane are placed. Food such as the exquisite mole, hot chocolate and the traditional bread of the dead, in turn, the altar is adorned with the beautiful cempasúchil flower with yellow-orange petals with an enchanting scent. Its purpose is that when the souls of our deceased come, they can taste everything that has been put in it, for this reason their favorite foods that they enjoyed in life, a glass of mezcal, are also placed, all this accompanied by their photos.

It is also customary that on these dates people go to the cemetery to visit their graves to bring them flowers and candles, which will be their guide on their return. Last but not least, in this celebration the “comparsas” also take place, which are a kind of parade of people dancing and wearing different costumes alluding to the date.

This, with other cultural activities promoted in the state, is what is experienced in this beautiful tradition, considered a party in the memory of our deceased where they are remembered with nostalgia, but also with joy.

Traditions, gastronomy, touristic places, architecture, and much more is what Oaxaca offers the world, which is why it has become one of the best places to live, positioning itself as one of the most important states to invest in real estate.

Al momento de adquirir una propiedad entran en juego distintas cuestiones, como clientes, y más si se es primerizo, pueden surgir muchas dudas o aspectos que desconocemos pero que son muy importantes en el proceso de compra- venta, más aún cuando se adquiere una propiedad en preventa, lo cual se refiere a comercializar el inmueble cuando este se encuentra aún en construcción. Es por ello que aquí te presentamos 6 preguntas clave, que debes plantear a tu agente de ventas, para que de esta manera puedas aprovechar al máximo tu inversión.

En primer lugar, tenemos la pregunta básica y obligada; ¿qué incluye el precio? Estacionamiento, acabados y de qué tipo, amenidades, qué características, equipamiento, etc. Es muy importante conocer en sí por qué estás pagando lo que estás pagando.

Número dos, ¿cuáles son los cargos de la propiedad o cuotas de mantenimiento? cuando se opta por adquirir un bien inmueble en un régimen condominal generalmente existen cuotas adicionales de mantenimiento para áreas comunes y demás.

Número tres, ¿cuáles son las etapas de la construcción? Se debe considerar en paralelo el presupuesto que se tiene conforme va avanzando la construcción. Es esencial conocer las fases y preguntar al agente las fechas específicas de ellas para que el cliente también tenga la certitud de que se realizará la entrega y recepción del inmueble en el tiempo establecido.

La siguiente pregunta está ligada al cómo se llevará a cabo la entrega- recepción y está, así mismo, relacionada a la pregunta número 1, el cliente debe tener la seguridad de que lo que se les describió previamente es exactamente lo que se les está entregando finalmente. Todo ello vendrá especificado en la carta de intención.

La pregunta número 5 es ¿cuáles son las características del inmueble? Relacionada también a la pregunta número uno, metros cuadrados de terreno, de construcción, con cuántos espacios cuenta, qué materiales serán utilizados, y es aquí cuando entran las garantías del desarrollador.

Y, por último, pero igual de importante, ¿qué pasa si la propiedad no se entrega en tiempo y forma en la fecha señalada en el contrato? ¿cuáles son las penalizaciones, cuándo me lo entregarían, qué garantías tengo sobre la posición? Si bien es cierto que cada caso es diferente, hay estándares muy básicos que no deben faltar en el contrato de compra- venta y que amparan al cliente en caso de que el desarrollador no realice la entrega según lo acordado.

Es por ello que es importante estar acompañado de un notario, abogado o experto en la materia que te guíe en el proceso y analice todo lo correspondiente a escrituras, contrato, régimen condominal y que todo sea legal. En SilMéxico, expertos en Real Estate, podemos orientarte para que tú solo te encargues de disfrutar de tu nueva adquisición.

Incumplimiento de contrato en transacciones de Real Estate

Sabemos que el Real Estate es un todo que comprende muchas especificaciones y cuestiones a considerar. El hecho de vender y/o rentar una propiedad es un asunto serio y debe ser tomado como tal por las partes implicadas.

En este proceso de compra- venta se lleva a cabo la elaboración de un contrato, carta de intenciones, entre otros documentos que contienen las obligaciones y derecho tanto del comprador como del vendedor. Sin embargo, en ocasiones por cuestiones ajenas a los participantes, se puede suscitar un incumplimiento de dicho contrato, creando así un ambiente de desacuerdo y en ocasiones extremas, acciones legales. Un claro ejemplo de situaciones que podrían promover esta informalidad es la pandemia por COVID- 19 de la que hoy en día las sociedades de todo el mundo continúan recuperándose. Es del dominio público que esta enfermedad vino a afectar significativamente la economía, y siendo el sector inmobiliario uno de los grandes pilares en México, las consecuencias se hicieron notar, retrasando así procesos, desencadenando también la inflación. Otro ejemplo a citar son cuestiones de pagos mediante bancos internacionales, intercambio de documentación con notarios, abogados, etc. Todas estas externalidades pueden generar este descontento entre Los miembros del convenio. No obstante, la ley en México considera los casos de fuerza mayor.

Cuando se da el caso que alguno de los integrantes no cumple con sus obligaciones establecidas en el contrato, es importante primero establecer mesas de diálogo, en donde los partícipes lleguen a acuerdos que inviten a la parte en cuestión a efectuar sus deberes. La resolución del conflicto será pacífica y beneficiosa en cuanto, tanto vendedor como comprador, estén dispuestos a negociar fuera de la corte, pues siempre se debe dar prioridad a la etapa de mediación antes de recurrir a un juicio.

Ahora bien, si ya se han agotado todas las posibilidades, y sí lo más viable es llegar al litigio, se debe ser consciente que este puede ser un proceso largo, tedioso y desgastante no solo económicamente, sino también emocionalmente. Considerando también demás detalles que implican la acción legal, como, por ejemplo, generar un poder que otorgue el consentimiento al abogado para ser el representante en todo el procedimiento, y cómo se mencionó anteriormente, tener la certeza de que se tiene la capacidad financiera para afrontarlo, entre otros.

Lo más importante y sano, es instaurar negociaciones mediante la comunicación asertiva, ya que el hecho de llevar a juicio la resolución del conflicto, no garantiza que los resultados sean favorables para la parte afectada.

Recuerda siempre asesorarte por expertos en la materia. En SilMéxico contamos con un equipo jurídico capacitado que te guiará hacia la mejor decisión para que tu proceso concluya de la mejor manera y sin promover más conflictos.

The real estate and its rapid adaptation to market trends

It is not a secret to anyone that the pandemic brought about changes in all sectors, thus forcing the world population to adapt to it. Such is the case of Real Estate, which is already showing signs of adaptation in a post-pandemic world.

Currently, demographic redistribution, new generations with their different needs and tastes, as well as ways of working, as well as the new normality, among others, have generated a natural demand for housing with larger spaces and adapted to the factors already mentioned, which has brought with it new trends. For example, people look for residences and/or developments not only to establish their home or business, but also to consider environmental awareness, energy efficiency, a variety of spaces and that it is also profitable, among many other requirements.

Real estate development has a direct impact on the economy derived from the high investment for the development of new spaces in the different types of real estate, attracting both local and foreign investment to the country.

It is important to mention that the real estate sector is one of the pillars of the Mexican economy, according to Alejandro Blé, director of Coldwell Banker: “We have seen that what has undoubtedly maintained the economy is the real estate sector, it is something that, without a doubt, although it has paused in certain aspects, it has remained stable. Since 2020, 11% of GDP came from the real estate industry, also the maintenance of low interest rates and financial conditions have been quite accessible and the government’s plans to reactivate the industry sector have also helped “(El economista, 2022).

Hence the importance of this industry, since every activity requires real estate.

We are aware that the fear of investors is to put their assets at risk in a period of high uncertainty in the face of the promise of a profound change in the way of being, thinking and living of the new generations that participate in the market. That is why, those of us who are immersed in this sector, see it as imperative to reinvent ourselves and continue to focus our efforts in order to identify the preferences that consumers demand and guide them in achieving their goals.

How to distribute proportions of equity in financial and real estate investments in times of crisis?

Regardless of the COVID-19 contingency and particularly since the World Health Organization declared a widespread pandemic and the impact that this has had in all economies of the world. There is much discussion about the areas of opportunity in a crisis context, the ideal thing is to take conscious disitions to avoid being part of economic assets that are revalued at the basis of panic diections.

An investment portfolio must always contain financial and real estate assets, and the percentage will depend on the investor’s preference, risk profile, objectives, past experiences, and who advises it. But the idea is to break the myth that financial investments always generate better returns, and that real estate investments only achieve low, but safe returns.

While traditional real-estate investment leaves low returns, it is important to understand that there are sophisticated ways in which large investors achieve high returns, higher than those achieved with financial assets and with a much lower risk level. Here are some points to consider regarding the distribution of wealth in financial and real estate investments:

  • In real estate investment you can buy under the market value especially at times of need of liquidity, a situation that could be present at the moment in the real estate market in Mexico, while in financial investment all investors pay stocks and bonds at the same value every day, in a much more speculative trend.
  • Real estate investments tend to withstand the severe crises suffered by the markets while financial assets correct significantly.
  • To be sure, financial assets are more liquid than real estate assets. But if you operate in international markets such as the US or France, you can access low-rate mortgage loans from 4% to 0%. In just 30 days, immediate liquidity is obtained with financing on portfolio assets, which is recommended for investors seeking to take profits from their credit accesses and inject their capital into markets or opportunity destinations like Mexico. Even though interest rates for leverage in Mexico are relatively high compared to other countries, despite the crisis banks will continue to leverage areas of opportunity, and housing represents one of the sectors with the greatest resistance in times of crisis.
  • Investing in real estate assets in appropriate markets, for example, with the dollar rising, there are sector-by-destination opportunities in border cities, historical destinations, beach destinations, cluster areas, metropolis and emerging nodes with residential profiles are the best options for acquiring dollar-valued properties, especially in the recovery phases, where there is a lot of assets below the cost of market value. returns without leverage above 15% per annum and more than 30% per year can be achieved with moderate leverage of 60%, with low risk of capital loss.
  • Generally when you invest in the financial sector and do not have exchange rate coverage, exposure to a strong change in financial assets is very high although this also implies that the benefit may be high. On the other hand, while real estate is also affected, they do not have the same correlation, so when buying a real estate in dollars in a medium- and long-term strategy. the transaction at a high exchange rate is related to the surplus value of the property that usually increases, as well as the commercialization in that same currency.
  • When the financial market is in crisis, it generally affects all markets, investment activity is likely to decelerate during the first quarter of the year as investors adjust to uncertainty. In the real estate market the effect is generally located in sectors most affected such as retails, automotive, hotel, restaurants, co-work, co-lives are the most vulnerable. While the residential housing portfolio continues to show relative strength in the face of cross-cutting crises such as the current one.
