04 · METHODOLOGY
Your figures, read transparently.
The tool adds the one-time costs you enter and annualizes monthly expenses. It then adds annual items to show an estimate for the first year and following years.
The currency selector changes the input unit; it does not convert currencies or apply an exchange rate. Request current quotes for each property before deciding.

What this tool can—and cannot—resolve.
Does the planner estimate closing costs automatically?
No. Closing costs vary by transaction. Enter the written estimate prepared for the exact property instead of applying a generic percentage.
Should a foreign buyer include a fideicomiso?
Foreign buyers commonly use a bank trust for residential property in Mexico's restricted zone. Confirm structure, setup and annual fees with the bank, notary and independent counsel for your transaction.
Where do HOA figures come from?
Use the current written quote and ask what it includes, how reserves are funded and whether special assessments are contemplated. The planner does not supply an assumed fee.
Can I use the result as an investment return forecast?
No. It is a budgeting aid, not a valuation, tax calculation or return forecast. Rental analysis requires documented revenue assumptions, vacancy, operating expenses and professional tax advice.
