Tanda Casa is structurally designed for people the Mexican banking system was not built around. If you see yourself in one of these, you have a real path.
You moved to Mexico recently — Riviera Maya, Yucatán, CDMX, Baja — and have no Mexican credit history. Local banks ask for years of buró before they will even quote you.
You live in the US or Canada, earn in USD or CAD, and want to buy property in Mexico for family, retirement, or investment. Mexican banks ask for IMSS and a local payroll you do not have.
You are retired, drawing Social Security or a pension, and Mexican banks add age caps on mortgage terms or refuse to count foreign retirement income altogether.
You work for foreign clients, your income lands in Wise, Payoneer, Deel or a foreign account. Mexican banks want recibos de nómina and 24 months of local statements you cannot show.
You have steady cash flow and could handle the monthly, but you have not saved the 20-30% Mexican banks demand upfront. The down payment is the wall, not the payment.
You want a second home in Tulum, San Miguel, Puerto Vallarta or Mexico City. Cross-border bank mortgages for foreigners are rare, slow, and require US-based collateral.
The same plan, the same regulation, the same CAT — applied to whatever stage you are at. Buy a finished home, build on your land, or remodel what you already own.
House, apartment, land, or commercial space, anywhere in Mexico. You pick the property, we provide the financing. No closed catalog, no developer restrictions.
You own a lot and want to build from scratch. Tanda Casa releases funds in stages tied to construction milestones, supervised by your architect or builder.
You already own the property and want to expand, modernize, or finish a remodel. Use the financing for a major renovation without taking on bank debt or refinancing your existing mortgage.

If you live abroad, moved to Mexico recently, work remotely, earn in a foreign currency, or simply do not want to go through the Mexican banking system — Tanda Casa is designed structurally for your case.
Tanda Casa is not a bank or SOFOM — it is a self-financing (autofinanciamiento) company regulated under Mexico's Federal Consumer Protection Law. Every plan is authorized by the Ministry of Economy. The adhesion contract is publicly registered and verifiable at rpca.profeco.gob.mx.
The model is a collective savings fund, not a bank loan. This means the qualification does not depend on your credit history or income verification — it depends on your ability to sustain monthly contributions. Foreign income, informal income, or no local history all work.
Mexican bank mortgages have a CAT (annual total cost) of 12-16%. Tanda Casa is fixed at 6.0%. Every fee — administration, VAT, life insurance — is disclosed in the adhesion contract before you sign. A public calculator at tandacasa.com/mi-plan shows exact monthly amounts without requiring a consultation.
Tanda Casa is operated by Planea Tu Bien, S.A. de C.V., founded in 2009. Same corporate entity, same tax domicile in Mexico City, same regulatory framework. No mergers, acquisitions, or pivots. Continuity is the strongest operational signal in the Mexican self-financing sector.
Two families — Traditional (no down payment required) and Promotional (APEX accelerates adjudication). Two payment shapes — Fixed and Step-up. Four combinations. All four share the same CAT, the same 180-month max term, and the same legal contract.
Same monthly amount month 1 through month 180. Maximum predictability for buyers who value a flat number over speed.
Lower starting payment that adjusts +2.5% every 6 months. Best for buyers with growing income who want to start light.
Fast adjudication path. Pay APEX 20% upfront, contribute ~$5K/M for ~18 months, then locked fixed payment for the rest.
Same fast adjudication, lower post-adjudication payment that adjusts +2.5% every 6 months. Optimized for growing income.
Indicative monthly amounts per $1,000,000 MXN financed. Higher APEX (15%, 30%, 40%) shortens the adjudication month proportionally: 15% → mo 24, 30% → mo 12, 40% → mo 6 from completing APEX. Full breakdown in the calculator.

Honest accounts from clients in three different situations. Real names anonymized, situations preserved.
I moved to Playa del Carmen from Toronto in 2021 and every Mexican bank I approached wanted three years of local credit before they would even quote me. I started a Promotional plan with 20% APEX in early 2023 and adjudicated my apartment financing right at month 18, just like the contract said. No surprises.
I am a US citizen, my parents are from Guadalajara, and I wanted a place in San Miguel de Allende for retirement. Cross-border mortgage options were either non-existent or required US-based collateral. The Traditional plan let me start with zero APEX and a fixed payment in pesos. The whole signing was done online from California — I did not need to fly down.
I am a freelance designer, my income comes in USD via Wise from clients all over Europe. Two Mexican banks asked for 24 months of recibos de nómina that I obviously do not have. With Tanda Casa, the only documents were my passport, my residency card, and proof of address. The Promotional plan let me put 30% APEX down and adjudicate in 12 months for my place in Roma Norte.
My wife and I are both retired, drawing Social Security and a small pension. Mexican banks added age caps that knocked our mortgage term down to 10 years and made the monthly impossible. We picked the Traditional Step-up plan, started low, and we will adjust as we go. No bank ever offered us anything close.
The whole contracting flow is digital. The first three steps take a single sitting — usually 10 to 15 minutes — and they are the only paperwork you will sign before the property purchase itself.
Use the calculator or talk to an advisor on WhatsApp. Pick the property amount, APEX %, and one of the four plans. You get an exact monthly amount before signing anything.
Upload your ID (INE or passport) and proof of address. Sign the 8-document kit once electronically — legally binding under Mexican law, equivalent to ink on paper.
First contribution by SPEI, card, or international transfer. You receive a CFDI (official Mexican tax invoice) for every contribution. Your contract is now active and registered.
Access your client dashboard online to track points, contributions, anualidades, and the exact month of adjudication written into your contract.
The end-to-end digital process: design your plan, verify identity, sign the 8-document kit electronically, pay the inscription. 10-15 minutes.
