(00:00):
A recent article published byReuters talked about how Latin
America is one of the best upand coming investment
destinations because of all thepolitical instability in the US
and Canada and other markets.
And because of just the massiveopportunity here in Mexico, I'm
joined by Monica Loyo, our realestate immigration investment,
(00:23):
uh, specialist.
She's an attorney.
She's been working with expatsfor over.
20 years, and we're here inbeautiful Lake Chapala, Jalisco,
Mexico, where Amanda and I live.
And, uh, we, we've built abusiness here actually working
with a lot of expats and helpingthem understand investments and
opportunities here and so manyother things.
(00:44):
Welcome to Entrepreneur Expat.
If you're new here, my name isJustin, and on this channel we
talk a lot about.
How to move overseas, live thelifestyle of your dreams, do it
for a lot less money than maybeyou even thought you would need,
right?
And figure out how, how toinvest in other countries and
how to become a diverse,multinational citizen.
(01:06):
So Monica, thanks so much forjoining us on this video and
being a part of our channel.
Thank you, Justin.
What's, what's going on with theinvestment life cycle and like
just the, the investment climateand all these different
countries?
And why is Latin America nowemerging?
I think because, uh, well, firstof all, thank you for having me.
Um, I think the, there areseveral reasons why the Latin
(01:28):
American, uh, investment marketis emerging.
I.
First because IgE said, well,Mexico, Brazil, and other
countries are beautifulcountries that have a lot to
offer.
They have a lot of naturalresources, uh, land in in most
of the places, sometimes reallycheap.
Also, even building up upcompanies set, uh, setting up.
(01:48):
There was a time when a lot of.
What we call, uh, maquilas,which were manufacturing
companies, were set up all alongthe border, the Mexican US
border, just because of coursethe workforce is really cheap in
Mexico.
If you take that to the otherside of the border, it's gonna
be way more expensive, andthat's been like that for years
now.
(02:09):
The US seems to think that theycan do everything by themselves
and they don't need.
Any of the Latin American, uh,workforce, they don't need the
resources or anything that theycan kind of self-produce
everything.
And this is not just with LatinAmerica, it's also with China,
India, and other countries.
So, um.
(02:29):
They have just started, I thinkgoing down that path, which I
think is a, is a risky, youknow, path to go to because Mm,
no country can be soself-sufficient that you don't
need any other country.
The whole America first, right.
America first thing that youdon't need, which there's good,
there's good things to it.
It's good and bad, like ineverything.
Right, right.
But it's a little shortsightedfrom what you're saying.
(02:51):
Exactly.
How can you, um, make that, youknow, like how can you sustain
that with just.
Everything being built, forexample, in the US with a cost
of labor in the US with noimmigrants because the
immigrants are getting kickedout or getting deported.
So with just American workforceand with just your resources,
(03:13):
that's very hard.
Not just for America, but forany country to do.
Right?
So it used to be that themaquilas and uh, and also, you
know, production in China andIndia is way cheaper than it is
in the us.
That was one of the.
You know, like the attractionsof investing in Latin America
now, there's still, even thoughthis is, uh, they're trying to
(03:36):
drift away from that, investingin Latin America is still a very
good option because LatinAmerican markets, especially
Mexico and Brazil, are growingmarkets.
They have a lot of young, um,let's say the intellectual part
of it is being a, uh, isbecoming a greater asset in
these countries because.
Mexico, Brazil and othercountries also Argentina, are,
(03:59):
are not third world countriesanymore.
You know, they're countries thatare, are, are becoming developed
countries that are, uh, thathave a lot of resources and that
have a lot of interest, catchthe interest not only of the US
but other countries such asother countries in Europe or
other parts of the world.
So to a lot of countriesinvesting in Mexico and in
(04:22):
Brazil and other Latin Americancountries.
Has become more and more, um, ofinterest.
You know, and I wanna also pointout that we do offer a free
consultation for anyone that'seither looking to move to
Mexico.
Or invest in Mexico.
So if that's something you'reinterested in doing, don't
forget to book a consultationwith our
team@entrepreneurexpat.com slashconsult.
(04:44):
Mm-hmm.
And Monica and the rest of ourteam are going to advise you on
exactly what you can do.
Number one, to find goodopportunities here to make sure
you're legally protected.
Because as we talk about inanother video, which we'll
actually link here as well.
It's not always as easy as itseems to invest Exactly.
In other countries.
Like there's a, there's a ton ofopportunity, but you gotta also
(05:04):
make sure that you're doing itthe right way and that you're
protecting your assets.
So book that call below with ourteam, and if you haven't
already, definitely like thisvideo because it's going to help
us with our algorithm and ourmission to reach more and more.
Entrepreneur, expats andaspiring expats and subscribe so
that you don't miss a videocoming out on this channel where
we talk about investmentopportunities, immigration
(05:26):
visas, and so much more.
Exactly.
So let's now back up a littlebit and talk about some of the
things that the article wasmentioning on Reuters when, when
it came to.
Where these markets in the quoteunquote developed or the western
world are shifting.
Like what is going on right nowwith the political, with the
military, with all these othertypes of instability that we're
(05:47):
seeing that's causing mm-hmm.
Investment to now start to shiftmore and more to Latin America.
Yeah.
So, uh, so I think worldtension, you know, there's like
a tension between, um.
More developed countries, uh,trying to get more power, trying
to become, you know, the numberone market in the world or
(06:08):
whatever.
And this tension is actuallycausing their markets to, to be
less reliable, to be, uh, moreexpensive and less productive.
So I think this shift is, uh.
Latin America, of course, hasalso gone through some
political, um, difficultpolitical climate.
(06:28):
Uh, in Mexico.
We faced reelections just awhile ago, and that was
difficult and it did impact, youknow, certain, um, foreign
investment in Mexico.
But now I think we've gonethrough that.
We passed through that, and, andeven though regardless if we're
happy with our government ornot, not our political system in
(06:48):
Mexico.
Uh, Mexico, Brazil and othercountries have proven that they
can, uh, become a stable, youknow, market and environment,
especially for investors.
And that investing in, in theseLatin American countries can be
very profitable.
And if you're talking, you know,now let's say we were talking on
the, on the big, uh, industryscale.
But if we scale it down andwe're talking, okay, you want to
(07:10):
invest in property in Mexico.
Well, the value of property inMexico is always, you know,
going up.
So it's not that you're gonnalose that value if you're
investing, uh, within thecoastline, which is like you got
all these beautiful places inMexico, you have a lot of, you
know, Caribbean sea like, uh,beaches and everything.
(07:30):
It, you're probably gonna beable to find something for a
very decent price that you canbuy either for investment or for
yourself and your family.
And it's always gonna, you know,sometimes within a couple years
it almost duplicates its value.
So that's something that's veryinteresting.
Also, you know, if you're, ifwe're looking at it in, on the,
on the short scale, why is it abetter opportunity here than in
(07:53):
places like the us?
I think because the US isalready reached, um, it's, I
guess it's top value.
So, um, so here there's still.
You know, a lot of land thatit's undeveloped and that it's
not.
So, um, it's not so muchmarketing and not so much, you
(08:14):
know, media attention and allthese things.
And so it keeps the value lower.
So I think that helps to bringinvestment that it's gonna be
cheap, but that, you know, and,and also like, honestly, uh,
especially, and I'm gonna talkmore about Mexico than other
Latin American countries,because that's where I'm from
and where I live.
Mm-hmm.
So I'm more familiar with that.
(08:34):
But let's say Mexico has allthis, um, all this, uh, natural
beauty as far as beaches andstuff, something right here,
this beautiful lake chip andlike this lake that's really
calm and you have all theculture and, and all this that
kind of adds to it.
And that America, of course youhave great national parks and
everything, which are gettingmore and more restricted also.
(08:56):
Yeah.
Which are getting less and lessbudget.
That's another thing, likepeople are afraid, I think now
to invest in the US because.
Because some things are not, aregetting overlooked and some
things are getting not protectedand you're getting out of
treaties, like the, or wantingto get out, like the Paris
Treaty, that's a globalenvironment.
And so it's like, okay, the USis not even caring for the
(09:17):
environment anymore, you know?
And so, uh, even national parksare in danger now.
Yeah.
And so here you still got allthis natural beauty that is, it
doesn't feel like it's, uh.
At risk.
At risk or being maybe sold offexactly piecemeal so that people
line their pockets.
I mean, it happens everywhere.
It happens here too, but yeah.
But sold off to, not to the samedecree, right?
(09:38):
The gas industry or the whateverindustry.
Right.
So, so that might be anotherthing.
Why it's a good, goodinvestment, good opportunity
now.
And what about protections forland ownership?
We actually get a lot ofcomments.
I mean.
A lot of you guys are, are kindof with it.
Um, I would say almost, probablymost, but there's a lot of loud
people in the comments who thinkthat you buy Mexico property and
(10:00):
then, you know, immediately thenext day it gets taken away by
the cartel or something crazylike that.
No, no.
You'd be, you would be shockedat the kind of comments that we
get on this channel.
Right.
On TikTok, on Instagram.
On YouTube.
I mean, it's fine.
Keep'em coming.
We love it.
Right?
It drives our engagement throughthe roof, but oh my goodness,
there's so much.
Um.
I, I would say misinformationout there in terms of pro
(10:24):
property protection laws andthings like that.
Yeah.
How secure is your property,assuming you're, well, number
one, how secure is it ingeneral, if you go through the
right steps?
Right.
And then is there anything youwanna make sure that people
avoid?
And we talk about real estatescams in another video with you.
Yeah.
But how secure is your propertyin general?
First of all, I, I would sayit's very secure.
Uh, why it just, like you'resaying, you have to go through
(10:45):
the right steps.
Yeah.
Sometimes there's amisperception that, like in
Mexico, just like you're saying,no, never go to Mexico because
you're gonna get robbed.
Or the cartels, or you're gonnaget killed.
Or you're gonna get kidnapped.
Kidnapped, which is not all thattrue.
Of course, like anywhere andespecially big cities, like any
big city, you like la like NewYork, you have crime, you have
organized crime, but that's notalways the case everywhere.
(11:08):
So the first thing is.
You know, it's, I would say notgeneralized.
You know, not everything isunder the same, uh, degree of
violence or uncertainty or stufflike that.
And then the second thing is.
Buying land, like we talked inthe other video land that is
properly advertised that you aregoing through a real estate
agent, you are going through anattorney notary and everything.
(11:30):
Mm-hmm.
It's very secure because sincethe process is very complex,
it's almost more secure herethan it is in the US I would
say.
Yeah.
Because once you have the deed,that means that deed is
registered in the publicregistry property.
It has run it, it's gone througha lot of a long process of
reviewing.
That the title is proper, thatit's clear and free of
encumbrances and all that.
(11:51):
Mm-hmm.
So you have a very secure titleonce you get titled Versus in
the US they have these, thesecrazy, like, I think it's called
a quit quit pro quit claim.
Quit quit claim.
Yeah, exactly.
Quit Claim deed where you canlike put a lien on somebody's
house without Right.
And you go into the spot ofwhether who registered first and
everything.
We don't have this year, it'snot a a race to on who registers
(12:11):
first.
Once you get the property, it's,you only have that rights to
that property.
No one else is gonna haverights.
And that's why you have to doyour due diligence and look for
legal help.
And, uh, and you know, like, uh.
Real estate market help so youknow where you're searching
because of course if you buysome random property that some
random person is selling to you,then yeah, you might have
(12:33):
problems with it.
Of course, you gotta do your duediligence.
Hire experts.
That's what our team is herefor, right?
To support you along that entireprocess.
From purchase to sale, togetting your immigration status
in Mexico.
We help.
With all of that.
Exactly.
Anything else you, you wouldlike to share from the article
that was really insightful toyou or anything else that you
see that people should be awareof in terms of the trends and
(12:53):
how investments are shiftinghere?
Yeah, I think also keep in mindthat these countries are, are,
uh, are growing not only in,well yeah, in investments, in
everything.
But there's a lot of, you know,like I think there's also
misconception that foreigners,uh, tend to think that everyone
here is ignorant and uneducatedand stuff.
(13:14):
But there's a big rising middleclass that has degrees, doctoral
degrees, postgraduate studiesthat is influencing more and
more in Mexico.
And Mexico has got a, a, Mexicoand Latin America tend to have.
Large population of youngpeople.
Mm-hmm.
Which are driving, you know,and, and making things happen
and not just sitting there on,you know, the same old everyday
(13:37):
stuff.
Yeah.
So I think this is an importantcons consideration, you know,
that we have a growing, um,middle class, but of young
people, well educated youngpeople who are actually making
things happen different, youknow, so I think that's also
important to Yeah, that's that abig reason why everything is
growing.
Another important aspect to takeinto account is that these Latin
(13:59):
American countries are not soinvolved in all this worldwide
conflicts, you know, uh,conflicts in all aspects.
Economic, financial, uh, wareven, uh, they tend to hold back
from these conflicts and justfocus like on growing as a
country.
So I think that's a.
A major, a major thing that'salso giving these countries or
(14:22):
investment in this country'sstability.
And also the tariffs, uh, on,you know, Latin American
countries.
They're not so involved in, inthese tariffs and in shifting
and increasing and, and evenhaving conflict with other,
other countries over tariffs.
So, and also, for example, thestock market.
Is even if there are not a lotof companies in Mexico that are
(14:45):
in the Mexican stock market, butthe ones that are a really big,
solid, stable companies, sothere are huge companies that
are really reliable, that are onthe that rank in the top
companies, you know, worldwide.
Yeah.
So maybe the stock market is notgetting so much attention, but
these companies are reallysolid.
They're, they've got a lot ofvalue Yeah.
(15:05):
In them.
They're not like just, you know,the rollercoaster of a lot of
the US companies right now.
Exactly.
So, so I think that's gonna bealso something that's gonna be
important, uh, and access thismarket also.
Typically, you do have to havesome type of papers or residency
or citizenship.
Right.
Right.
For a lot of the good investmentopportunities.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Or at least to be able to, let'ssay, buy a property and sell it
(15:26):
later without being taxed intooblivion.
Yes.
The taxing, uh, advantages thatand taxing strategies are also a
big part of it.
Yeah, and we, we can help youguys figure out every aspect of
that, all the way from residentsto getting your second passport
potentially in Mexico, to how doyou actually protect yourself
legally in terms of all thesedifferent transactions.
(15:47):
You can book a call with ourteam.

that journey.

So, um, it's not so muchmarketing and not so much, you
(08:14):
know, media attention and allthese things.
And so it keeps the value lower.
So I think that helps to bringinvestment that it's gonna be
cheap, but that, you know, and,and also like, honestly, uh,
especially, and I'm gonna talkmore about Mexico than other
Latin American countries,because that's where I'm from
and where I live.
Mm-hmm.
So I'm more familiar with that.
(08:34):
But let's say Mexico has allthis, um, all this, uh, natural
beauty as far as beaches andstuff, something right here,
this beautiful lake chip andlike this lake that's really
calm and you have all theculture and, and all this that
kind of adds to it.
And that America, of course youhave great national parks and
everything, which are gettingmore and more restricted also.
(08:56):
Yeah.
Which are getting less and lessbudget.
That's another thing, likepeople are afraid, I think now
to invest in the US because.
Because some things are not, aregetting overlooked and some
things are getting not protectedand you're getting out of
treaties, like the, or wantingto get out, like the Paris
Treaty, that's a globalenvironment.
And so it's like, okay, the USis not even caring for the
(09:17):
environment anymore, you know?
And so, uh, even national parksare in danger now.
Yeah.
And so here you still got allthis natural beauty that is, it
doesn't feel like it's, uh.
At risk.
At risk or being maybe sold offexactly piecemeal so that people
line their pockets.
I mean, it happens everywhere.
It happens here too, but yeah.
But sold off to, not to the samedecree, right?
(09:38):
The gas industry or the whateverindustry.
Right.
So, so that might be anotherthing.
Why it's a good, goodinvestment, good opportunity
now.
And what about protections forland ownership?
We actually get a lot ofcomments.
I mean.
A lot of you guys are, are kindof with it.
Um, I would say almost, probablymost, but there's a lot of loud
people in the comments who thinkthat you buy Mexico property and
(10:00):
then, you know, immediately thenext day it gets taken away by
the cartel or something crazylike that.
No, no.
You'd be, you would be shockedat the kind of comments that we
get on this channel.
Right.
On TikTok, on Instagram.
On YouTube.
I mean, it's fine.
Keep'em coming.
We love it.
Right?
It drives our engagement throughthe roof, but oh my goodness,
there's so much.
Um.
I, I would say misinformationout there in terms of pro
(10:24):
property protection laws andthings like that.
Yeah.
How secure is your property,assuming you're, well, number
one, how secure is it ingeneral, if you go through the
right steps?
Right.
And then is there anything youwanna make sure that people
avoid?
And we talk about real estatescams in another video with you.
Yeah.
But how secure is your propertyin general?
First of all, I, I would sayit's very secure.
Uh, why it just, like you'resaying, you have to go through
(10:45):
the right steps.
Yeah.
Sometimes there's amisperception that, like in
Mexico, just like you're saying,no, never go to Mexico because
you're gonna get robbed.
Or the cartels, or you're gonnaget killed.
Or you're gonna get kidnapped.
Kidnapped, which is not all thattrue.
Of course, like anywhere andespecially big cities, like any
big city, you like la like NewYork, you have crime, you have
organized crime, but that's notalways the case everywhere.
(11:08):
So the first thing is.
You know, it's, I would say notgeneralized.
You know, not everything isunder the same, uh, degree of
violence or uncertainty or stufflike that.
And then the second thing is.
Buying land, like we talked inthe other video land that is
properly advertised that you aregoing through a real estate
agent, you are going through anattorney notary and everything.
(11:30):
Mm-hmm.
It's very secure because sincethe process is very complex,
it's almost more secure herethan it is in the US I would
say.
Yeah.
Because once you have the deed,that means that deed is
registered in the publicregistry property.
It has run it, it's gone througha lot of a long process of
reviewing.
That the title is proper, thatit's clear and free of
encumbrances and all that.
(11:51):
Mm-hmm.
So you have a very secure titleonce you get titled Versus in
the US they have these, thesecrazy, like, I think it's called
a quit quit pro quit claim.
Quit quit claim.
Yeah, exactly.
Quit Claim deed where you canlike put a lien on somebody's
house without Right.
And you go into the spot ofwhether who registered first and
everything.
We don't have this year, it'snot a a race to on who registers
(12:11):
first.
Once you get the property, it's,you only have that rights to
that property.
No one else is gonna haverights.
And that's why you have to doyour due diligence and look for
legal help.
And, uh, and you know, like, uh.
Real estate market help so youknow where you're searching
because of course if you buysome random property that some
random person is selling to you,then yeah, you might have
(12:33):
problems with it.
Of course, you gotta do your duediligence.
Hire experts.
That's what our team is herefor, right?
To support you along that entireprocess.
From purchase to sale, togetting your immigration status
in Mexico.
We help.
With all of that.
Exactly.
Anything else you, you wouldlike to share from the article
that was really insightful toyou or anything else that you
see that people should be awareof in terms of the trends and
(12:53):
how investments are shiftinghere?
Yeah, I think also keep in mindthat these countries are, are,
uh, are growing not only in,well yeah, in investments, in
everything.
But there's a lot of, you know,like I think there's also
misconception that foreigners,uh, tend to think that everyone
here is ignorant and uneducatedand stuff.
(13:14):
But there's a big rising middleclass that has degrees, doctoral
degrees, postgraduate studiesthat is influencing more and
more in Mexico.
And Mexico has got a, a, Mexicoand Latin America tend to have.
Large population of youngpeople.
Mm-hmm.
Which are driving, you know,and, and making things happen
and not just sitting there on,you know, the same old everyday
(13:37):
stuff.
Yeah.
So I think this is an importantcons consideration, you know,
that we have a growing, um,middle class, but of young
people, well educated youngpeople who are actually making
things happen different, youknow, so I think that's also
important to Yeah, that's that abig reason why everything is
growing.
Another important aspect to takeinto account is that these Latin
(13:59):
American countries are not soinvolved in all this worldwide
conflicts, you know, uh,conflicts in all aspects.
Economic, financial, uh, wareven, uh, they tend to hold back
from these conflicts and justfocus like on growing as a
country.
So I think that's a.
A major, a major thing that'salso giving these countries or
(14:22):
investment in this country'sstability.
And also the tariffs, uh, on,you know, Latin American
countries.
They're not so involved in, inthese tariffs and in shifting
and increasing and, and evenhaving conflict with other,
other countries over tariffs.
So, and also, for example, thestock market.
Is even if there are not a lotof companies in Mexico that are
(14:45):
in the Mexican stock market, butthe ones that are a really big,
solid, stable companies, sothere are huge companies that
are really reliable, that are onthe that rank in the top
companies, you know, worldwide.
Yeah.
So maybe the stock market is notgetting so much attention, but
these companies are reallysolid.
They're, they've got a lot ofvalue Yeah.
(15:05):
In them.
They're not like just, you know,the rollercoaster of a lot of
the US companies right now.
Exactly.
So, so I think that's gonna bealso something that's gonna be
important, uh, and access thismarket also.
Typically, you do have to havesome type of papers or residency
or citizenship.
Right.
Right.
For a lot of the good investmentopportunities.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Or at least to be able to, let'ssay, buy a property and sell it
(15:26):
later without being taxed intooblivion.
Yes.
The taxing, uh, advantages thatand taxing strategies are also a
big part of it.
Yeah, and we, we can help youguys figure out every aspect of
that, all the way from residentsto getting your second passport
potentially in Mexico, to how doyou actually protect yourself
legally in terms of all thesedifferent transactions.
