Buying Real Estate In Brazil

This documents my first foray into property investment in Brazil.

Monday, 2 July 2007

I came across an interesting website called Escape Artist today. Although it is aimed at Americans wishing to emigrate it contains some interesting articles on Brazil such as:

Be wary about stated sizes of property.

Finding reputable real estate agents in Brazil.

Lisa: I am purchasing real estate abroad for the first time and thought it might be a good idea to document my progress. I am female in my late thirties and live in the UK. I own 50% of a small portfolio of residential and commercial properties in England and Wales which has been built up very slowly over a thirteen year period. Part of my 'day job' involves investigating dodgy dealings and potential frauds in the UK construction industry, consequently I am wary about getting involved in property speculation abroad - I view it as a gamble so I am only going to spend what I am prepared to lose. I would class myself as 'risk averse' but I suppose risk is in the eye of the beholder. That said, there is a definite 'buy abroad' bandwagon and I have decided to throw caution to the wind and jump on it. Brazil is my country of choice for investment ... watch this space if you would like to accompany me on this journey into the unknown!
