Investment Property Brazil: Value for Money

The cost of living in Brazil is approximately a quarter of that in Europe and North America and that means that tourists can enjoy an inexpensive holiday once they arrive and we all know that tourists enjoy tropical destinations especially if they do not cost the earth. This itself is favourable to investors who will be looking to rent out their new property in Brasil, but also to those who are already looking for an exit strategy. As history shows us time after time when tourists take a liking to a specific resort or destination, a large percentage will buy there in the future.
Due to some of the recent legislation improvements by the Government, there are now a growing number of industrialists relocating to Brazil to take advantage of the reduced labour costs. This in turn has opened the doors for international expatriates and corporate investors to enjoy a new lifestyle in a tropical environment at a much lower cost.

Off plan investment in Brazil offers investors three strategies:

• Purchase of Off Plan developments with a view to sell prior to completion
• Off plan investment in resorts that offer management services and rental schemes that will generate an income as well as the facilities to take care of your property in Brazil
• Equity based investment where the real estate will be held for several years and enjoyed by the family with occasional rental income prior to exiting the market

Eco Tourism

Eco tourism is a huge attraction for many international tourists and there are some developers with an eye on this environmentally aware market.

Many of these new off plan resort developments are also attracting wealthy Brazilians who now have sufficient funds to either purchase in a secure community or a luxurious second home by the beach.

Low density rulings have been designated in many coastal areas which are intended to ensure that any developments merge with the natural landscape as against in other countries around the world that have been turned into eye-sores.
