This hot property alert – bad economy investment cure definitely cannot be ignored any longer.
If you do not like making good investment, fun in the sun, finding your dream getaway or retirement property then please stop reading this right now ! ! !
I take it most of you know about Emerging markets and BRIC countries but Brazil’s Northeast Region is the best on the South American Continent for investments and vacation/retirement/second/summer/getaway/front beach home villa and should not be ignored any longer by the Americans or British since we already have most Europeans investing heavily here for the last 5 years and even Russians and Chinese are starting to take action.
With the market red hot, living costs low, steady climate, governmental incentives and support it all makes sense.
Whilst the World Economies are tumbling down Brazil is doing the exact opposite.
I can go on and down the list with the favorable points besides people like Donald Trump executing a very successful golf development, Samuel Zell liquidating his assets in the US just to pour the money into a Brazilian construction Co., Merrill Lynch and Goldman & Sachs stating average property value appreciation in the Northeast at least at 20% per annum and steadily naming this as one of their top picks is pretty obvious isn’t it?
Ok, the opening speech part is over and by now you must have some curiosity about how you may invest and / or purchase a beach front property or beach front land for development, pre-construction off-plan property, commercial, or your fun-in-the-sun dream place right? Plus, what better excuse can we think of for visiting Brazil?
Which, actually you do not have to do for we have quite a few references so there is no need to get up from your seat!
I am not asking you to believe any of this. Please don’t. Do your own homework first.
Because I have done a little bit of it and afterwards we can be on the same page.

And here is some more homework I have done for you:
WHY INVEST IN REAL ESTATE
IN THE NORTHEAST OF BRAZIL
STATE OF CEARA?
Worldwide property investors are now turning their attention to Brazil as it fast becomes a leader in the field of emerging markets. Returns on investment are considered to be excellent and investors are increasingly aware of the high growth potential that Brazil offers as a stable though fresh, new investment market.
General Factors
Predictions by leading financiers, Goldman Sachs, are ranking Brazil amongst the top 5 world economies by the year 2050. As one world’s largest countries, with a current population of over 180 million, Brazil’s economic potential is enormous. The current availability of cheap labor and materials, coupled with undervalued real estate, mean the conditions for growth are outstanding.
Major investment is ongoing to improve Brazil’s infrastructure and create purpose built tourist facilities. Due to increased efforts by its government, Brazil experienced 48% growth in its tourism industry between 2002 and 2005, with further growth predicted in 2006.
Growth is being centered on the coastal destinations of Fortaleza (State of Ceara), Salvador and Natal in particular, which is the closest point of Latin America to Europe and the location of a new airport which shall be the EIGHTH largest in the world. Easy access from North America and Europe is on the increase, with costs of travel reducing each year, giving Brazil a truly global investment and tourism appeal.
With a Tropical stable climate, world-famous, beautiful beaches and a year-round tourist season, Brazil is set to benefit purchasers with buy-to-let investment strategies. The low cost of living (20% of that in the UK) also appeals to investors and tourists looking for a lower cost alternative to the peaking Caribbean market.
There are no complications regarding property ownership in Brazil and investments can be purchased as 100% Freehold
We will assume that you already have made up your mind to invest in real estate and to do so in Brazil.
CAUSE:
There are three reasons that I think are the most important for this to happen:
1.) Low labor cost and low living expenses.
2.) Government incentives are abundant since the states are looking forward to the economy becoming even stronger through this.
3.) Last but not least the stable climate without earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunami, terrorism or any of the God’s acts that let us know where our place is.
Of course, we cannot forget the friendliness of the locals and lower crime levels than those of the South & Central regions of the country.
EFFECT:
Advantages of Brazil Investment
Property capital appreciation of 20% average in the Northeast per annum.
Favorable currency exchange rates, making property transactions cheap for foreign investors.
President Lula’s progressive policies, bringing many improvements to Brazil, including a decrease in inflation to an all-time low at 5.7%.
Active encouragement and incentives for foreign investment - you can own 100% of land and property.
Cost of living only 20% of that in the UK/Europe and property maintenance costs extremely low.
Some of the lowest property prices in the world.
Increase of thriving manufacturing industries relocated to Brazil and boosting the economy.
Expected self sufficiency in oil reserves within the next year.
Some economists believe Brazil is amongst the leaders of the future, along with Russia, India and China.
Year-round sunshine, with average summer temperatures of 28°C.
Great natural beauty with fantastic scenery and 7,000km of beaches.
Friendly nature of the Brazilian people.
Vibrant cities with carnivals and music.
Low international risk of war, terrorism or SARS in Brazil.
Easy access via direct flights from many international airports.
Donald Trump invested here very successfully.
Billions of U$ Dollars are being poured into the real estate market making it very stable and profitable.
Brazilian currency is strong on the Forex markets further lowering risk.
Now, let’s discuss why make investments in the Northeast and more specifically State of Ceara?
The Northeast region of Brazil is the fastest growing area on the South American continent. This is in regards to economic factors such as export/import, tourism, real estate, natural resources & energy etc….
We have seen a steady value appreciation of these investments over the last four to five years and especially real estate geared towards tourism and golf.
Numerous developments such as resorts & hotels with beach front condominiums full of villas (in hundreds and sometimes in thousands) including golf courses have been springing up every 100km or so throughout the 2500 km of the Northeast’s Coast Line.
State of Ceara, with it’s capital City of Fortaleza has been undoubtly attracting the most savvy of the investments in the region. South America’s largest water park is located here and the Pinto Martins International Airport is fit to accommodate a large amount of flights and is currently in an expansion stage.
There are a minimum of four golf course developments under construction at this time and there is THE largest tourism development in this country covering an area of 3100 hectares or 31 Million square meters (about 8700 acres) well on its way. The evaluated grand total of this enormous undertaking is over U$D20 Billion. It’s in the construction stage as well. Another pre-approved project has been recently sold to an undisclosed investor in the, not undermining size, of 1020 hectares with licenses for a Marina, 16 resorts, golf course, private airport, convention center & shopping mall, etc…These are just the two largest developments in this state besides many others. Inside the City of Fortaleza buildings are popping up everywhere and the construction trade has received a very significant rise in demand (since 1998 to today 1000% growth). Rentable property is a very interesting factor, however there are a few good managing companies available for to the public.
This state is very strategically and geographically located in relation to main cities in Europe like Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam, Brussels, Oslo, London, Copenhagen etc…as well as Miami, New York, Boston,USA.
The Capital of Fortaleza has the largest population in the Northeast and yet incredible to say the lowest crime rate in the area.
There are Mountains with waterfalls and European climate 3-6 hours of a drive away, depending of course on which one desires to visit, the world-wide famous beaches like Jericoacoara, Cumbuco, Fleixeiras, Lagoinha, Praia das Fontes etc…..
There are over 1000 edible fruits here, interesting cuisine, vital to the Brazilian Culture is the nightlife with the various restaurants and bars which are great investments for the well informed persons with outdoor seating and gardens,
Many clubs and dance events of especially Forro (pronounced Fo-Ho) being a very spicy and a local way to entertain.
