ISAI rates are state-typical; municipal variation exists. Notary fees follow published state schedules and aren't negotiable on headline. Fideicomiso setup excludes annual trustee fee ($500–$750/yr from year 2) — model holding costs in the property-tax calculator. Does not include FX cost on the wire.
