Why Work With Paul Davidescu?
Buying property in Mexico isn’t just a financial decision — it’s a cultural and legal journey. That’s where Paul Davidescu stands apart.
Born in Mexico City and fluent in Spanish, Paul not only understands the language but also the nuances of doing business and navigating property transactions in Mexico. His background gives him the cultural fluency, empathy, and negotiation confidence needed to help Canadian and American buyers feel secure and understood when purchasing abroad. 🇲🇽🗣️
When his parents immigrated from Mexico to Vancouver, they brought with them the belief that “debt is bad.” They paid cash for a townhouse, minimizing debt—but also missing out on millions in potential real estate gains. Had they used the power of smart debt, they could’ve built $2M–$5M more wealth. That experience shaped Paul’s entire mission.
He built Level Up Mortgages to help others avoid the same mistakes — by using the right mortgage strategies to build wealth, not just buy homes.
