I’m in Brazil with 20 of your fellow members. As usual, places on our scouting trip went fast. I’ll send you a full briefing of what we find when I get back to the office. But meantime, there’s a way you can “ride along” with us…
Crisis investing means buying when everyone else wants or needs out. At an aggregate level, markets overreact and overshoot both on the up and downside. Assets become mispriced. Mispriced assets = profit opportunity.
True rental guarantees–that accurately reflect the market–are rare. So rare, that I think of them as a unique type of program for savvy investors–it’s a type of resort rental, but I call them “Gilt Resort Programs” because of the guaranteed fixed payments. I know of a few programs like this in France…and one in Mexico, which is the opportunity I’m writing to you about today.
As you know, the short-term rental market in Fortaleza, Brazil is growing at an astonishing pace. Recommendations I’ve made to you that take advantage of this trend include the developments at Beach Class Colonial and Landscape. (The units at both these development are sold out, but some previously reserved units at Beach Class have come back on the market)
Diversification is one of the most powerful reasons you need to be invested in international real estate today. You don’t need me to tell you that in these turbulent times you need diversification from the dollar and financial markets–you need a safe haven. I’ve told you before about the French Leaseback Program, an opportunity that offers such diversification.
Last July I recommended a project in Brazil called Beach Class. Today, 80 units that were reserved by a European group have come back on the market.
I’ve been working on a big project over the past seven months–a Global Real Estate Investing course. It retails for $249…but you can use it free of charge.
Almost a year to the day since my first scouting trip to Fortaleza, Brazil I’ll be back this April (15th-18th). This will be my fifth trip in 12 months. The opportunities are that good. I have space for 20 of you to join me. Once these 20 spaces are gone, they’re gone–groups any bigger than 20 are just too big for this type of scouting trip.
There’s money to be made in real estate development along the north-east coast of Brazil. One of your fellow RETA members recognized this on our first scouting trip last year. On our most recent trip last month we visited the site and saw plans for his project called Sol Y Mar.
As we all know, there’s more to buying property than simply handing over the asking price–additional costs such as attorney fees, notary fees, and registration fees must be factored into the deal. When buying property overseas, things can get even more confusing…particularly if you’re not sure of what you should or should not be paying.
Transparency is important to us, so you should know that properties and development projects detailed here may be clients of Pangaea Limited, a real estate advertising company managed by Ronan McMahon and Margaret Summerfield. Should you purchase one of the properties, Pangaea may receive a fee from the property owners, real estate developers and/or real estate agents. International Living Publishing Limited, along with certain marketing companies who work with Pangaea, may receive a portion of that fee.
Nothing in this website, and no communication by our staff, should be considered personalized advice. Although our staff may answer general queries, they are not licensed to address your particular situation. We always recommend strongly that buyers perform their own complete due diligence and use a qualified legal professional to help with any real estate transaction.
