Change in the Need for a fm3 to Buy Property?
This is off the San Felipe site, not sure if this is
news, a proposed change, or someone's interpretation,
I'm not schooled on fm3's

"they are now saying you don’t need an FM3 if you signed a contract or bought a house through a bank trust. According to Yolanda Tafoya of Yet Mail
(this is from Bob Miller who spoke to her) you can cancel your FM-3 and simply get a tourist visa."
--------------------------------
I'll have to see this in something more official. It's difficult to see how any property owner would be considered a tourist.

Lots of debate about this. Perhaps ask the notario, and the bank official if a fideicomiso is involved, handling the deal. Or just get a FM-3, then
you're covered.

Both the notarios & the banks lose money on this--so what do you think they will both tell you?

When I did my fideocomiso in 2008 the notario just wanted me to be in Mexico legally, he said a tourist permit would be fine and he made a copy of it
for the records. I since have gotten my fm2.

I know people who have bought property with a FMM as well...I think it matters if you LIVE here or just visit like a tourist.

We bought property here with none of the Fm's. I have no idea where that law is or what sales person demands it that you need one to buy property?

I bought a beach house in Nayarit in 2008 and a ranch near Dolores Hildalgo in 2010 with only an FMM, in fact if you read the last paragraph on the
back of the FMM it states you can buy property.........
