American's appetite for second homes in Mexico remains strong, says Carlos Garza, CEO of Texas-based INB Financial Corp., which started offering corss-border mortgages last year. Evidence of the demand: Mexico's top bank, BBVA Bancomer has made about $115 million in loans to Americans and Canadians so far this year and has a full-year goal of $200 million. The average loan is about $500,000.
Most of BBVA's business has come from professionally active Americans, ages 40 to 55, who are looking for a weekend retreat, and from semi-retired buyers between the ages 55 and 60 who spend several months a year in Mexico, says Isidoro Sanchez, a director of business development at BBVA Bancomer.
"Given the kind of homes that are being purchased in the $800,000 to $2 million range, this is a segment that is still buying even though there is a crisis in the U.S." Sanchez says. Mexico City-based real estate research firm Softec Consultoria inmobilaria predicts vacation home sales to foreigners are set to reach 35,000 units worth $17 billion in 2012, up from 18,000 units sold for $6.4 billion in 2007.

Hello everyone, I'm Patricia Sherman in Oklahoma USA right now. I would like to share with you my experience of borrowing USD $185,000.00 to clear my bank draft and start a new business. It all started when I lost my house and I took my stuff because of the bank policy and I met some bills and some personal needs. So I became very desperate and started looking for funds in every way. Fortunately for me, a friend of mine, Linda told me about a credit company firm, I was intrigued by the fraud, but I was intrigued by my situation and had no choice but to get advice from my friend about this company. contacting them really doubted me because of my past experience with online lenders, did you know that little? '' Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com This company has been very helpful to me and my colleague and today, thanks to this credit company, the proud owner of well-organized work and responsibilities, they smiled back at me. So if you really need to grow or start your own business, or if you really need to borrow money in any financial hardship, we recommend you find a financial development opportunity in your business today. {E-mail:} Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com ... online for credit not a victim of scam. Thank you.
