Brazil Property Appreciation that will take place over the next 10 years.

Why Buy in Brazil?

The #1 reason to buy in Brazil is the Property Appreciation that will take place over the next 10 years.

The following explains why appreciation will take place:

New Mortgage Laws

These laws create a better environment for banks to loan money. The banks are able to make a safer investment when lending. In countries without sustainable mortgage products, there is very little domestic demand for property because purchasers are forced to pay in cash for property. This creates low property prices. Due to the availability of mortgages, domestic demand for property is increasing.

New Ownership Laws protect the Buyer

These laws are some of the best in the Americas, designed to make ownership more appealing. Ownership is far more secure in Brazil than many other popular Latin American destinations. This creates new international demand.

Easy Access from Europe and North America due to New Infrastructure

The Government is supporting tourism projects all across the coast by increasing the availability or utilities and infrastructure. Government is financing the renovation of old airports and building new airports to meet the demand.
The government has come to realize that tourism and property is a new form of economic growth. Currently Brazil is the 5th best infrastructure in the Americas. Infrastructure and access adds value to property and creates domestic and international demand.

Brazil has a large domestic population of almost 200 Million people

This domestic population will embrace credit and mortgages and start buying houses and property. This will create domestic demand, demand forces property prices to rise. Costa Rica and Nicaragua have populations of roughly 5 million. These countries' real estate booms are not homegrown, but due to international speculation. This situation lacks long-term stability. Why buy a half acre on the ocean in Costa Rica for $1 million when you can buy it in Brazil for $35,000.

Currently the 10th Largest Economy in the World, Brazil will be the 5th Largest in 2050 as ranked by Goldman Sachs

When Brazil reaches its paramount in 2050, the beach property prices will be the same anywhere in the world. It is expected that beach property will continue to increase in value rapidly until 2050. This economic growth and stability creates international demand. It solidifies Brazil as a great place for real estate investors.

Beautiful Beaches

Brazil is ranked for having some of the best beaches in the world. They feature white sand, warm water, warm climate and beautiful tall palm trees. Brazil has one of the longest tropical coast lines in the world.

Brazil is on the verge of becoming an economic powerhouse

Brazil is on the verge of becoming an economic powerhouse and is expected to become the world’s fifth largest economy in the near future. In addition to hosting the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, the country’s also discovered a vast oil field off the coast of Rio. It has one of the fastest increasing middle classes in the world, and has an estimated housing shortage of eight million homes! They have no risk of terrorism, no natural disasters and no political unrest. Any troubles associated to crime in Brazil tend to occur in the southern cities like Rio de Janeiro which is a four hour flight from Natal.

Natal, where we are promoting, is at the closest point of South America to Europe with just a three hour time difference. It has the second purest air in the world according to NASA and is considered the safest city in Brazil. Natal is just five degrees from the equator so the climate is fantastic all year round with an average temperature of 27 degrees.

The seventh biggest airport in the world, and the only one in South America able to accommodate the A-380 Airbus, is currently under construction just 40 minutes from Natal; this will be fully operational by 2012.

Brazil is an expanding market

Brazil is an expanding market and is definitely the best option from the BRIC countries as it most matches the profile of the western investor: christian religion, western outlook, mainly European or African origin people, no hurricanes, earthquakes or tsunamis, no SARS, no terrorism, stable currency, no wars, low cost of living,100% ownership of property, stable and democratic government

Brazil is one of the top locations in the world for investment today.

Brazil, the most promising economy in the BRIC family of emerging markets, is currently the 9th largest in the world, and set to become the 5th largest by 2014. With the discovery of potentially vast oil reserves, a stable democracy and a growing affluence, this is one of the top locations in the world for investment today.

Brazil really is a country that is going places.

Overseas property investors are all saying the same thing Brazil Brazil Brazil!

In a presentation in Denver to the National Association for Business Economics, Nobel Prize-winning economist Michael Spence gave several reasons why Brazil’s economy is set to continue to thrive:
• Brazil had no complex securitised financial investments
• They learned lessons from their own financial crisis of 1997/8
• The banks had lent on low ‘loans to value’
• The central bank responded quickly to the credit crunch
• Their economic managers displayed “a high degree of competence
Spence added: “Is this sustainable? Will they [the economy] keep growing? I think the answer is a qualified yes. I wouldn’t have said that 10 years ago.”

According to Wilson Amaral, the chief executive of Gafisa, one of Brazil’s big home builders, the country needs to build a minimum of 1.6 million homes every year just to keep up with the demand of new middle-class Brazilian property buyers entering the market. This is in addition to a housing shortage estimated at 5 million homes.
So, as Brazil’s economy continues to grow, overseas property investors can be reassured by the words of this Nobel prize-winning expert. "Brazil really is a country that is going places".

"Spectacular Potential" says Jim O´Neill Managing Director & Head of Global Economic Research at Goldman Sachs

Before investing in an emerging market, it is important to look at the underlying economic factors of the country and local population. Investors who recognise Brazil TODAY, are catching what will be a huge economic growth curve, this factor has the potential to provide spectacular returns on investment which otherwise would not be possible in the usual Western Markets say all the Financial Experts.

Watch the videos and read the comments from Jim O´Neill Managing Director & Head of Global Economic Research for the Investment Bankers Goldman Sachs.



"Already the BRICS economies are having a huge influence on the world economy"

"Over the next 50 years, Brazil, Russia, India and China—the BRICs
economies—could become a much larger force in the world economy".

"The results are startling". "If things go right, in less than 40 years, the BRICs
economies together could be larger than the G6 in US dollar terms. By 2025
they could account for over half the size of the G6. Of the current G6, only the
US and Japan may be among the six largest economies in US dollar terms in
2050".

"The list of the world’s ten largest economies may look quite different in 2050.
The largest economies in the world (by GDP)may no longer be the richest (by
income per capita), making strategic choices for firms more complex".
