Buying from Mexico

What timeline should Mexico-based buyers expect?

Plan weeks for discovery and lender or funds setup, then a contract period with option/inspections, and closing logistics that add international transfer time. Rush deals are possible with cash and travel flexibility, but remote diligence still needs calendar buffer. Use the remote-purchase timeline for stages.

Detailed explanation

Holidays in both countries, appraisal queues, and HOA document delivery can extend calendars. Build contingency rather than relying on best-case blog estimates.
