Backed by specialists at every step

Title verification, corporate structuring, immigration, and compliance run through vetted attorneys in the Intersection Legal network — with architects, appraisers, and contractors added as each deal requires.

Questions we answer every week

Yes. Foreign individuals and companies can own urban real estate with essentially the same rights as locals. Rural land carries constitutional reciprocity limits — one of several reasons independent title review and ownership structuring matter before you commit.

El Salvador runs a territorial tax system. Exports and international services benefit from 0% income tax regimes, and free trade zone properties enjoy full customs and tax exemptions. Every structure is different — we coordinate specialist tax and legal review on each transaction.

Premium industrial space leases around $7.50/sqm/month — on par with Mexico, above Guatemala ($6.80), and well below Costa Rica ($9.20). The advantage: premium specs at a mid-market price, with almost no comparable premium inventory available.

The US dollar is legal tender, which removes currency risk for US-based investors. The country also maintains a modern digital-asset regulatory framework.

We're engaged by you, not by sellers. The fee structure — representation, due diligence scope, or transaction advisory — is defined in writing before we start, in the discovery call.
