AMOLDEFor families with roots in Jalisco & Nayarit
Build your house in Mexico — without getting burned.
You live in the US. The land — or the dream — is back home. AMOLDE verifies the land's documents before you spend a dollar, builds model homes with honest, written budgets, and releases every construction payment against photo evidence you approve from wherever you live.
The journey, in the right order
1 · Your papers. If your mother or father is Mexican, you likely already have a constitutional right to Mexican nationality — which means direct title anywhere in Mexico (even the coast, no bank trust) and a far simpler inheritance of family land. Check your eligibility free — or have us handle the whole case for $495.
2 · The land. Before money moves, the lot's documents get read: deed, registry, liens, taxes, ejidal status, pending inheritances. Our Land Study starts with a $200 USD document review with a written verdict — if the lot fails, you stop there and never pay the rest.
3 · The build. Model homes adapted to your lot: a fixed-fee architectural project, a written construction budget from published per-m² ranges, a municipal construction license filed before work starts, and payments released only against photographed milestones. Half of what you pay for studies credits toward your build.

Guides in English
Everything we explain to families, written down — starting with the question most children of Mexican parents have never been told the answer to.
Dual nationality
Am I already a Mexican citizen? Yes, if a parent was born in Mexico — here's how to get the papers
If your mother or father was Mexican when you were born, you are already Mexican under Article 30 of the Constitution — you just don't have the papers. The 4 documents, how the consulate appointment works, what it costs (usually nothing), and the name mismatch that costs families their slot.
Buying land
How to buy land in Mexico while living in the US (without getting burned)
You can buy land in Mexico without traveling: a special power of attorney signed at a Mexican consulate, a notario público, and document verification before any money moves. The process, the paperwork, and the scams to avoid.
Costs
How much does it cost to build a house in Mexico in 2026? $740–$2,270 USD per m² ($69–$211 per sq ft), explained
Real 2026 construction costs in Jalisco and Nayarit: $740–$2,270 USD per m² ($69–$211 per sq ft) from our Essencial to Collection lines, a worked example (a 3-bedroom, 128 m² home at about $95,000–$131,000), what the per-m² number leaves out, and how it compares to the US.
Building remotely
Building a house in Mexico while living in the US: how families do it without getting burned
The remote-build playbook: why 'sending money to a relative' fails, how milestone payments with photo evidence protect you, what a construction license is, and the five mistakes that cost US-based families the most.
Dual nationality
Where to apply for Mexican citizenship through your parents: consulates, MiConsulado and what happens at the appointment
You register at any Mexican consulate in the US through the MiConsulado appointment system — not in Mexico, not online. Which consulate to use, how appointments work in Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Dallas, what you leave with, and how long it takes.
Dual nationality
Mexican citizenship through your parents: the exact documents, and the name mismatch that costs families their appointment
The core documents every consulate asks for (your US birth certificate, your parent's Mexican acta, IDs, marriage certificate), the consulate-specific extras, and how to catch a name or date mismatch before it wastes a months-long appointment.
Land
Can a US citizen own property in Mexico? Yes — and dual nationals can hold direct title even on the coast
Foreigners can own Mexican real estate outright in most of the country; near the coast and borders they use a bank trust (fideicomiso). If you're a Mexican national through your parents, none of that applies: you buy in your own name anywhere. How each path works and what it costs.
Building
How to send money to Mexico to build a house without losing it: pay per milestone, never through a relative
The safe way to fund construction from the US: a contract with a written budget, payments released only when each stage is verified with photos and inspection, traceable transfers to the builder — and why the money should never pass through family.
Building
Building a house in Guadalajara from the US: what it costs, how long it takes, and how to do it without flying down every month
For families in Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Dallas with roots in Jalisco: 2026 construction costs in greater Guadalajara ($740–$2,270 USD per m²), the licensing and land steps, what you can do from the US, and when a trip actually helps.
Building
How long does it take to build a house in Mexico? 6–12 months of construction, plus the 1–3 months nobody counts
A realistic timeline for a one- or two-story home in Jalisco or Nayarit: land verification and license before anything is poured, then foundation to finishes stage by stage. What speeds a build up, what stalls it, and why funding rhythm matters more than crew size.
Building
Building a house in Puerto Vallarta or Bahía de Banderas from the US: title, ejido land, and what the ocean changes
For families in the US building in Puerto Vallarta or Bahía de Banderas: why Mexican nationals (including through a parent) hold direct title while foreigners use a bank trust, the ejido and beach-zone traps, how coastal construction differs, and why per-m² costs run higher than in Guadalajara.
Building
Building a house in Morelia from the US: land checks, fault lines, the historic center and costs
For Michoacán families in Chicago, Los Angeles and Texas: how to build in Morelia or Tarímbaro without living there. Direct title for any buyer, ejido land on the edge of town, documented fault and subsidence zones, the UNESCO historic center rules, and what it costs.
