Advice and tips on buying
Fortaleza Real Estate
By Fabricia Teixeira
Fortaleza
Ceara, with its near perfect climate, spectacular beaches and
low cost of
living is still one of South America's best kept secrets. The Europeans
are catching on while most North Americans and the rest of
the world
remain clueless!

According to a recent US State Department press release.
This is all
about to change with direct flights to Fortaleza from the United
States coming soon. Miami-Fortaleza in less than 6 hours!

Investing in Fortaleza Real Estate
is a tempting proposition regardless
of whether
you plan to
live, retire
or just spend a few months of the
year here!
The city is
growing faster than ever
in recent years. There are new
construction sites going up through
out the metropolitan area.

The drawing above is part of The "Aquiraz Riviera"
tourist complex. Already
underway and considered the largest construction project ever in South
America. Includes 9 hotels, a shopping mall, apartments,
condominiums and an 18 hole golf course (the first in the state
of Ceara)!

Many
investors buy early in the planning
stages from a reputable builder. Selling the properties only
a
few years later for as much as
a 40 percent mark up..
This makes perfect sense for the
foreign investor as well. Who may
be eligible for financing
with the builder.
|
While financing with a bank can be next to impossible if you are not
generating an income here in Brazil.

For example, an apartment or condominium that was
worth R$
150,000 in 2002 is
now worth between $250,000 and R$ 300,000 in 2008.
So even with
The Dollar falling against the Real; Investing in
Fortaleza Real Estate would still be considered a winning proposition
when compared to many other
markets
in the recent past.

If you
are seriously considering buying Fortaleza Real Estate the best advice
besides choosing your
agent carefully would be to move slowly.
The first mistake that a foreigner can make is
assuming that buying property in Brazil will
follow along the same guidelines
as back home.

An honest real estate broker can be difficult
to come by. There are many tricks for getting the buyer to
spend more than is necessary and not enough space on this page to list
them all.

Above all your Real Estate Agent should be trustworthy and
concerned with
finding what is the right property for you. Knowing that as a satisfied
customer you will surely
require or reccomend their services in the future!
No contract is required between the client and
agent and they
should
not make you feel pressured to buy a property under
any circumstances!
