A Decade of Dirt, Deals, and Ground Up Real Estate Dev in Mexico.

One of the most common things foreigners say when they look at real estate in Mexico:

“Isn’t it risky? I heard we can’t even own property near the beach.”

Not exactly.

Here’s how it actually works. 🧵

@CepnikMaciej Not only am I wearing shorts, I’ll be wearing my chanclas too!

There is a certain level of idealist lifestyle that can only be achieved in underdeveloped beach towns. Total isolation from the outside world. No crime because everybody knows each other. Totally walkable with empty jungle and coastline to explore. Fresh and local food simply because its cheaper. No sprawling apartments. No 5g towers. Zero commercial travel infrastructure so only attracts cultured tourists. Expat presence, but predominantly families and individuals with shared values and dissatisfaction with the west. I went on a surf trip to one of these and ended up staying for over a year. Impossible to replicate.

@NoahRyanCo Who’s the reputable source for BPC currently?

[Mexico Merchant @Zzeezee]

65 million Mexicans are “unbanked”.

What better way to get them into the system than to choke them out at the pumps.

Los Cabos - March 2026

Sales volume up 25% month over month.

Inventory down slightly.

Still a very active market.

[Mexico Merchant @Zzeezee]

Big gap between people who live in Mexico and people who actually operate here.

You see it in little things… like “mañana.”

It doesn’t necessarily mean tomorrow. In fact it could mean never.

Depends who you’re talking to.

[Mexico Merchant @Zzeezee]

@CepnikMaciej A lot of people underestimate how much trust plays into this too

[Mexico Merchant @Zzeezee]

When you mill palm and use it structurally, the whole vibe changes.

It feels alive.. and isn’t that the whole point of creating a cool space.

Is Mexico real estate getting too expensive?

This lot is prime. 1/2 acre, 300m from the main break in Cerritos, BCS.

$450k USD

Double the price of a few years ago…
but still cheap for the location and size

The sad part…

Outside developers are cramming 12 plus units on it

@CepnikMaciej Chingon!

[Mexico Merchant @Zzeezee]

@theepicmap Because the problem isn’t land.. Its policy.

[Mexico Merchant @Zzeezee]

@ipradoh_ @theepicmap Muy Chingon, compa. Vamos!

[Mexico Merchant @Zzeezee]

@theepicmap Never better!

This, but in San Jose del Cabo. Swap the Porsche for a Canam side by side.

I've secured this warehouse in Williamsburg.

Setting it up as a startup office / co-working space.

Who wants to join?

At the end of the day, the system works.

But it works a lot better when you know the right people who get things done.

More to come.

Mexico’s real estate system isn’t as opaque as people think.

But it does run differently.

Relationships matter.
Local knowledge matters.
And understanding the structure matters.

Once you get that part right, the rest gets easier.
