Hi Paul, the simple reason is that I'm intend to invest in Brazil with the idea to move there eventually(in a short term) to work and live for 6 months per year and I'm not just looking to invest money in real estate. if that was my reason I'd choose the european market as it's much easier logistically and financially to manage. Big developments as Lago do Coello, which I visited in September, will be ready in 3-4 years, will be made of thousand of apts, and my say in the management of the complex will be almost nil if compared to a smaller development. The time schedule is very important for me and I'm not interested in buying something that would take so long to use. The other point being that taking so long to be ready most of the agents cannot properly answer to even the most basic questions. As an example my agent for Lago Coello couldn't even show me a proper drawing of the flat chosen and what it would like, view from the building etc...In most of this huge development you risk to buy something that in theory has a certain view and in 1 year they may decide to build something else. It's true that the same can happen even in smaller development. In Pontanegra had a look at many of these skyscraper being advertised with sea view and found out that in many places another building is going to be built almost in front.

Hi Mitico,
You seem mainly in agreement with me then about Offplans expect you have the extra reasons for wanting to live there shortly. If you need any extra questions about buying resales that i havent already stated then please just ask
regards
Paul

Does anyone have any fotos of these major developments in Natal/Fortazleza actually in construction? I am curious, particularly in Natal area to see what progress has been made. I have seen alleged completion dates of mid 2008....so there might at least be a pic of a cement mixer in action? Likewise, anyone know where you can get more accurate detailed google earth type fotos of Natal area?

I thought you went on a comprehensive trip around Natal to see every resort. I was there in August just before you and I have many photos of construction sites.

So must be telling more porkies again golfxxxx ..... tsk tsk

Yes but I am yet to see a man with a wheelbarrow, a cement mixer or a pile of bricks! So if all these developers want to prove me wrong it is easily done...just post pics of their latest developments and prove that things are really happening! In these days of modern technology it is easily done and they are all so much more sophisticated than me..so go do it developers. If they can't do it why not?

now gw, i was giving you the benefit of the doubt before. i thought you had a couple of interesting points. but this latest comment seems like a pretty wild conspiracy theory. it undermines your previous posts.
are you trying to say that all of these developers have clubbed together (in some dark windowless room) and conspired to not actually do any developing?
i have paid a 30% deposit, and before i make my next payment, there needs to be some building progress. therefore i believe it is in the developers interest to at least lay a brick or 2... or, if this evil strategy of theirs forbids any bricks being laid at all, they could at least stage something in a hollywood studio somewhere, ala NASA moonlanding conspiracy

Prop, no conspiracy at all. Just feel that the completion dates are "ambitious". I've been up and down that coast and not yet seen a man with a wheelbarrow. If you wanted to sell a product and then sell more, wouldn't it be in your interest to show a foto of the product and say "here it is and here is the progress". Surely that is in everybody's interest? So all i have done is to challenge them to show that some of these alleged "mid 2008" completion dates are for real. If they were on schedule, why on earth would they not want to do that..all they have to do is post pics and then they can all have a laugh at my expense!
