A recent article published by Reuters talked about how Latin America is one of the best up and coming investment destinations because of all the political instability in the US and Canada and other markets. And because of just the massive opportunity here in Mexico, I'm joined by Monica Loyo, our real estate immigration investment, uh, specialist. She's an attorney. She's been working with expats for over. 20 years, and we're here in beautiful Lake Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico, where Amanda and I live. And, uh, we, we've built a business here actually working with a lot of expats and helping them understand investments and opportunities here and so many other things. Welcome to Entrepreneur Expat. If you're new here, my name is Justin, and on this channel we talk a lot about. How to move overseas, live the lifestyle of your dreams, do it for a lot less money than maybe you even thought you would need, right? And figure out how, how to invest in other countries and how to become a diverse, multinational citizen. So Monica, thanks so much for joining us on this video and being a part of our channel. Thank you, Justin. What's, what's going on with the investment life cycle and like just the, the investment climate and all these different countries? And why is Latin America now emerging? I think because, uh, well, first of all, thank you for having me. Um, I think the, there are several reasons why the Latin American, uh, investment market is emerging. I. First because IgE said, well, Mexico, Brazil, and other countries are beautiful countries that have a lot to offer. They have a lot of natural resources, uh, land in in most of the places, sometimes really cheap. Also, even building up up companies set, uh, setting up. There was a time when a lot of. What we call, uh, maquilas, which were manufacturing companies, were set up all along the border, the Mexican US border, just because of course the workforce is really cheap in Mexico. If you take that to the other side of the border, it's gonna be way more expensive, and that's been like that for years now. The US seems to think that they can 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 they can kind of self-produce everything. And this is not just with Latin America, it's also with China, India, and other countries. So, um. They have just started, I think going down that path, which I think is a, is a risky, you know, path to go to because Mm, no country can be so self-sufficient that you don't need any other country. The whole America first, right. America first thing that you don't need, which there's good, there's good things to it. It's good and bad, like in everything. Right, right. But it's a little shortsighted from what you're saying. Exactly. How can you, um, make that, you know, like how can you sustain that with just. Everything being built, for example, in the US with a cost of labor in the US with no immigrants because the immigrants are getting kicked out or getting deported. So with just American workforce and with just your resources, that's very hard. Not just for America, but for any country to do. Right? So it used to be that the maquilas and uh, and also, you know, production in China and India is way cheaper than it is in the us. That was one of the. You know, like the attractions of investing in Latin America now, there's still, even though this is, uh, they're trying to drift away from that, investing in Latin America is still a very good option because Latin American markets, especially Mexico and Brazil, are growing markets. They have a lot of young, um, let's say the intellectual part of it is being a, uh, is becoming a greater asset in these countries because. Mexico, Brazil and other countries also Argentina, are, are not third world countries anymore. You know, they're countries that are, are, are becoming developed countries that are, uh, that have a lot of resources and that have a lot of interest, catch the interest not only of the US but other countries such as other countries in Europe or other parts of the world. So to a lot of countries investing in Mexico and in Brazil and other Latin American countries. Has become more and more, um, of interest. You know, and I wanna also point out that we do offer a free consultation for anyone that's either looking to move to Mexico. Or invest in Mexico. So if that's something you're interested in doing, don't forget to book a consultation with our team@entrepreneurexpat.com slash consult. Mm-hmm. And Monica and the rest of our team are going to advise you on exactly what you can do. Number one, to find good opportunities here to make sure you're legally protected. Because as we talk about in another video, which we'll actually link here as well. It's not always as easy as it seems to invest Exactly. In other countries. Like there's a, there's a ton of opportunity, but you gotta also make sure that you're doing it the right way and that you're protecting your assets. So book that call below with our team, and if you haven't already, definitely like this video because it's going to help us with our algorithm and our mission to reach more and more. Entrepreneur, expats and aspiring expats and subscribe so that you don't miss a video coming out on this channel where we talk about investment opportunities, immigration visas, and so much more. Exactly. So let's now back up a little bit and talk about some of the things that the article was mentioning on Reuters when, when it came to. Where these markets in the quote unquote developed or the western world are shifting. Like what is going on right now with the political, with the military, with all these other types of instability that we're seeing that's causing mm-hmm. Investment to now start to shift more and more to Latin America. Yeah. So, uh, so I think world tension, you know, there's like a tension between, um. More developed countries, uh, trying to get more power, trying to become, you know, the number one market in the world or whatever. And this tension is actually causing their markets to, to be less reliable, to be, uh, more expensive and less productive. So I think this shift is, uh. Latin America, of course, has also gone through some political, um, difficult political climate. Uh, in Mexico. We faced reelections just a while ago, and that was difficult and it did impact, you know, certain, um, foreign investment in Mexico. But now I think we've gone through that. We passed through that, and, and even though regardless if we're happy with our government or not, not our political system in Mexico. Uh, Mexico, Brazil and other countries have proven that they can, uh, become a stable, you know, market and environment, especially for investors. And that investing in, in these Latin 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, industry scale. But if we scale it down and we're talking, okay, you want to invest in property in Mexico. Well, the value of property in Mexico is always, you know, going up. So it's not that you're gonna lose that value if you're investing, uh, within the coastline, which is like you got all these beautiful places in Mexico, you have a lot of, you know, Caribbean sea like, uh, beaches and everything. It, you're probably gonna be able to find something for a very decent price that you can buy 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 very interesting. Also, you know, if you're, if we're looking at it in, on the, on the short scale, why is it a better opportunity here than in places like the us? I think because the US is already reached, um, it's, I guess it's top value. So, um, so here there's still. You know, a lot of land that it's undeveloped and that it's not. So, um, it's not so much marketing and not so much, you know, media attention and all these things. And so it keeps the value lower. So I think that helps to bring investment that it's gonna be cheap, but that, you know, and, and also like, honestly, uh, especially, and I'm gonna talk more 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. But let's say Mexico has all this, um, all this, uh, natural beauty as far as beaches and stuff, something right here, this beautiful lake chip and like this lake that's really calm and you have all the culture and, and all this that kind of adds to it. And that America, of course you have great national parks and everything, which are getting more and more restricted also. Yeah. Which are getting less and less budget. That's another thing, like people are afraid, I think now to invest in the US because. Because some things are not, are getting overlooked and some things are getting not protected and you're getting out of treaties, like the, or wanting to get out, like the Paris Treaty, that's a global environment. And so it's like, okay, the US is not even caring for the environment anymore, you know? And so, uh, even national parks are in danger now. Yeah. And so here you still got all this natural beauty that is, it doesn't feel like it's, uh. At risk. At risk or being maybe sold off exactly 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 same decree, right? The gas industry or the whatever industry. Right. So, so that might be another thing. Why it's a good, good investment, good opportunity now. And what about protections for land ownership? We actually get a lot of comments. I mean. A lot of you guys are, are kind of with it. Um, I would say almost, probably most, but there's a lot of loud people in the comments who think that you buy Mexico property and then, you know, immediately the next day it gets taken away by the cartel or something crazy like that. No, no. You'd be, you would be shocked at 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 through the roof, but oh my goodness, there's so much. Um. I, I would say misinformation out there in terms of pro property protection laws and things like that. Yeah. How secure is your property, assuming you're, well, number one, how secure is it in general, if you go through the right steps? Right. And then is there anything you wanna make sure that people avoid? And we talk about real estate scams in another video with you. Yeah. But how secure is your property in general? First of all, I, I would say it's very secure. Uh, why it just, like you're saying, you have to go through the right steps. Yeah. Sometimes there's a misperception 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 gonna get killed. Or you're gonna get kidnapped. Kidnapped, which is not all that true. Of course, like anywhere and especially big cities, like any big city, you like la like New York, you have crime, you have organized crime, but that's not always the case everywhere. So the first thing is. You know, it's, I would say not generalized. You know, not everything is under the same, uh, degree of violence or uncertainty or stuff like that. And then the second thing is. Buying land, like we talked in the other video land that is properly advertised that you are going through a real estate agent, you are going through an attorney notary and everything. Mm-hmm. It's very secure because since the process is very complex, it's almost more secure here than it is in the US I would say. Yeah. Because once you have the deed, that means that deed is registered in the public registry property. It has run it, it's gone through a lot of a long process of reviewing. That the title is proper, that it's clear and free of encumbrances and all that. Mm-hmm. So you have a very secure title once you get titled Versus in the US they have these, these crazy, like, I think it's called a quit quit pro quit claim. Quit quit claim. Yeah, exactly. Quit Claim deed where you can like put a lien on somebody's house without Right. And you go into the spot of whether who registered first and everything. We don't have this year, it's not a a race to on who registers first. Once you get the property, it's, you only have that rights to that property. No one else is gonna have rights. And that's why you have to do your due diligence and look for legal help. And, uh, and you know, like, uh. Real estate market help so you know where you're searching because of course if you buy some random property that some random person is selling to you, then yeah, you might have problems with it. Of course, you gotta do your due diligence. Hire experts. That's what our team is here for, right? To support you along that entire process. From purchase to sale, to getting your immigration status in Mexico. We help. With all of that. Exactly. Anything else you, you would like to share from the article that was really insightful to you or anything else that you see that people should be aware of in terms of the trends and how investments are shifting here? Yeah, I think also keep in mind that 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 uneducated and stuff. But there's a big rising middle class that has degrees, doctoral degrees, postgraduate studies that is influencing more and more in Mexico. And Mexico has got a, a, Mexico and Latin America tend to have. Large population of young people. Mm-hmm. Which are driving, you know, and, and making things happen and not just sitting there on, you know, the same old everyday stuff. Yeah. So I think this is an important cons consideration, you know, that we have a growing, um, middle class, but of young people, well educated young people who are actually making things happen different, you know, so I think that's also important to Yeah, that's that a big reason why everything is growing. Another important aspect to take into account is that these Latin American countries are not so involved in all this worldwide conflicts, you know, uh, conflicts in all aspects. Economic, financial, uh, war even, uh, they tend to hold back from these conflicts and just focus like on growing as a country. So I think that's a. A major, a major thing that's also giving these countries or investment in this country's stability. And also the tariffs, uh, on, you know, Latin American countries. They're not so involved in, in these tariffs and in shifting and increasing and, and even having conflict with other, other countries over tariffs. So, and also, for example, the stock market. Is even if there are not a lot of companies in Mexico that are in the Mexican stock market, but the ones that are a really big, solid, stable companies, so there are huge companies that are really reliable, that are on the that rank in the top companies, you know, worldwide. Yeah. So maybe the stock market is not getting so much attention, but these companies are really solid. They're, they've got a lot of value Yeah. 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 be also something that's gonna be important, uh, and access this market also. Typically, you do have to have some type of papers or residency or citizenship. Right. Right. For a lot of the good investment opportunities. Exactly. Yeah. Or at least to be able to, let's say, buy a property and sell it later without being taxed into oblivion. Yes. The taxing, uh, advantages that and taxing strategies are also a big part of it. Yeah, and we, we can help you guys figure out every aspect of that, all the way from residents to getting your second passport potentially in Mexico, to how do you actually protect yourself legally in terms of all these different transactions.
