Hej Maria

Do you have a website or some infor you can send? I can send you my email adress in a PM if you want to send it though mail?

Hi Brasilinvests,

I have just read JMBroads messages and as he IS an agent and wants to pick up clients to make a quick buck I thought it better to clarify a few things.Firstly,you COULD buy beachland 18yrs ago at 500,00 reais (and not for 5mtrs!)Secondly,if you visit further North and deal with the local fishermen and field workers you would be able to buy beachland very cheaply within your present budget on the beach.To do this you need to go further North as mentioned.Otherwise you will be able to buy land in the STH 3 min from the beach for 12,000 reais/14,000 +.

Thanks for the answer.

Well 18 years is not "a few years" for me! A few years means 2-3 years in my worold. If we are talking 18 years ago, its more realistic, as there have been a lot of inflation and much more in 18 years

Anyway my wife is Brasilian, so I think the best option is to go there with her and talk to the locals. We prefare the area around fortaleza, but are open to other places.

Right now we are trying to find out if we schould buy now or wait a few years.

Again: where to find official pricestatistics? is it something that is just not in Brazil?

18 years ago you could probably get some fantastic huge plots of land for even less than 500 R$.

All depends on the size, what use you can give the land and what licenses the land has.

The location really depends on what you are looking to do with the land. Build a house for yourselves, develop into a block of apartments, build a hotel or a pousada or just sit on the land for a few years then resell.

Depending on which of the above, you'll want to look in different areas and at plots with different classifications and licensing.

I work for an agency doing market research but don't sell myself and don't get involved in sales on the forums, but there are plenty of agents on these forums who have access to land, or use a Brazilian agent or do your own research on which agency is the best option for you - either way make sure that whoever you get to do the research for you (be it your wife, a European agent or a Brazilian agent) research them first to make sure they are capable of doing what you need them to do.

Sorry to interupt here, don't suppose anyone knows of any large plots of land around 200,000 sq meters or more that is charging less than R$3 per sq meter (preferably less). Looking for a location close to Natal say 45min drive or less?? In land is not a problem.

Hi Jamphi- send me an e-mail and I will let you have a list of lands, but would prefer to discuss first.

I detect this a suspect post from could be anyone in the world. Perhaps some dude in India posing as a lady in Brazil who is American. Only one post and no "Premium Member" Badge. No way in hell would I ever call some dude on the internet about property anywhere in the world much less the most corrupt country in Latin America: Brazil! Bob, the Forum owner should put a stop to unauthorized vendors soliciting on the Board without being charged monthly (Vendor) fees.

Sir, my advice is go directly to NE Brazil, choose a city like Recife and work-live a minimum one year before investing your hard earned Dollar/Euro. And if you're still serious about investing, call and pay Ralph for a consultation on the pros and cons about investing in Brazil.

My two cents
