Property for Sale in Brazil, South America

Brazil is internationally known for its natural beauty, beaches, nice weather, carnival, music and culture. But now, it has become one of the most wanted countries for foreigners looking to acquire a second home, to live or retire, and also for people just looking to investing in real estate due to the reasons set above, along with the low value of its currency and very cheap real estate market.

Overseas buyers can purchase Brazilian residential or commercial property without major restrictions. However, there are a few limitations or fees applicable for some specific areas such as marine land, islands, rural land or areas near Brazil's international borders.

Worldwide real estate investor interest in Brazil is intensifying since Brazil has successfully stabilised both its economic and political standing in recent years - as a result the country is now beginning to benefit substantially from international property investment.

Investing in real estate in Brazil is as safe and easy as in any modern country like the US or Europe for example. All property sales are titled and foreign investors receive the same investment and possession rights as Brazilians (some restrictions apply for beach and rural areas/lots).

Now is an excellent time to invest in Brazilian property. Brazil property is affordable and an excellent investment offering solid capital growth and good rental returns.

For a foreign investor to buy real estate in Brazil the only requirement is that they have a CPF number - which is like a social security number. And the number can be obtained within a couple of days and the investor should be in Brazil when they apply for it. This number is a legal requirement as it enables the investor to be uniquely identified for taxation and title purposes.
