Brazil Market in general

There was an inquiry about the status of Brazil in the market. One member gave a few insights about its current status in general. To name a few, the member mentioned that Brazil is politically stable at the moment. This country is presently investing in infrastructure and tourism.

Brazil is the 5th largest Country in the world. It is also South America’s largest nation. It covers nearly half of the continent. Brazil’s landscape has two prominent areas - its vast rivers and its central highlands. The world’s largest river in terms of water volume is found in this place. It is the Amazon River, which also happens to be the 2nd longest river next to the Nile. The country also upholds a federal republic government. Portuguese is its official language. A good reason for this is because most of its culture and language is derived from Portugal. As for their climate, it consists of five regions. This would be: tropical, equatorial, semi arid, subtropical and highland tropical.

The cost of living in Brazil is quite lower than most European locations. This makes it easy to manage and maintain a property in this country. Expatriates are now considering Brazil as their retirement destination. Although Brazil is experiencing a tremendous need for housing, more investors are now considering development opportunities in this country. These investors are looking to transform the area into high class resorts. These modernized infrastructures will further bolster Brazil’s tourist industry. This growth in tourism will create more demand for properties in this place. The high demand may, of course, result in a price hike. Although the prices will tend to go higher, it will still be a reasonable deal since the market value of this country’s land will also continue to go up.

Los Cabos, Mexico real estate is hot and getting hotter

One member explained how Los Cabos has developed from a secluded get away to a major tourist destination. This person stated that a lot of tourists are finding their way to all the beauty Los Cabos can offer.

Los Cabos is the combination of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. San Jose del Cabo is the part that caters to the much older crowd.  Cabo San Lucas, on the other hand, is more inclined to the younger generation since this place is perfect for those who are looking for night life and live entertainment. Mexico, with its year-round tropical climate, has become a favorite destination for tourists who all want to escape the winter season in their home lands. Los Cabos offers a stretch of enticing white sand beaches and beautiful resorts.

There are two types of resorts in the area. One type would be this place’s all-inclusive resorts. This program is the country’s way of making your stay “worry-free”. This all-inclusive package includes all the meals, beverages (from alcoholic to non-alcoholic drinks), non-motorized water sports, the activities, and the amenities. Most all-inclusive resorts also deal with airport-hotel transfers. This is a good program, but you need to double check on the rates that come bundled with your trip.

Moving forward, the other type of resort is the non-all-inclusive resort. Accommodations that come bundled with these non-all-inclusive schemes only include conventional room services. For the food, such resorts have numerous restaurants and bars. If you love light meals and the like, it is best to go to a non-all-inclusive resort.

The beaches, resorts, and other major attractions in Los Cabos make the area a worthwhile investment. With the growing number of tourists, Los Cabos continues to be a good option when it comes to the overseas properties market.

Panorama Casino and Spa

There was a discussion about Panorama Casino & Spa in Bansko. One member was asking for update about the completion of certain buildings in the property. Apparently, most of the members who also bought units in this resort share the same sentiment. They mentioned that the developers promised the completion of the buildings, as soon as a payment for this term pushes thru. The matter is still yet to be confirmed.

Panorama Casino and Spa is located in St Ivan District in Bansko, Bulgaria. This is just a three minute drive to the Gondola Station. To those who haven’t been there, you will marvel at this charming and peaceful country.  It is very famous for its spectacular mountains and white-sand beaches. They take pride in their Balkan history and culture, which is evident in their churches, monasteries and mural villages. In Bansko, you will fall in-love with the scenery. It is a well preserved Old Town.

The resort consists of about 200 apartments. The sizes of the apartments vary from a studio to a one bedroom or two bedroom units. All apartments have a private terrace with a guaranteed panoramic mountain view. They also have a reception area with concierge, a lobby bar, a conference center, boutiques, shops, a restaurant, coffee bar among others. Other amenities include a satellite TV, WI-FI Access, a Shuttle bus, 24 hour service, a game room, underground parking spaces and relaxation privileges. You will also enjoy their casinos.

With regards to the non completion of the units, it is best to check with your lawyer about the matter. They should be the ones to talk to the developers or concerned personnel for clarification. Of course, every country has its own laws. It always varies from your end to theirs. This is why such legal matters are best handled by a professional.

Berlin Beware

One member shared his experience in buying a property in Berlin from a German Agency. It seemed that he was given a run around and left the matter to his solicitor. This incident is not a rare case.

The Internet is a great convenience to overseas property investors. It made a remarkable trend in this type of market. Sad to say, it is also a tool used by professional extortionists. They can easily create a website and pretend that they own or handle certain properties. Of course, they will pretend to have accurate information. They would even say they know people in the market and in these areas. In short, they are very, very good at this.

Keep in mind to take extra care. Although the property market is really a risky investment, there are tips on how you may save yourself from losing your hard earned money: 

Initially think about what you want in a property. Make a list of specific details. Ask yourself if you want that property for your own usage, for a capital investment, or to get rental income. Another thing to consider is if you would want to rent out the property or not. Renting it out may provide you some extra cash and help pay the mortgage. This can be good but it can also be time consuming. Narrow down your options to a few properties.

You can then research about the property market you want. Get the necessary updated information about their economy, if it’s going up or going down. Once you have finalized a specific property, seek advice from a property consultancy company. You can also organize an inspection visit with them. If you are already familiar with the area, this visit isn’t necessary. It will also help if you talk to people who purchased in the same property. Weigh if you can handle the cons just as much as you would surely love the pros.

Finally, you can ask the locals if they can refer you to a good solicitor. Make sure the two of you understand each other. If you seem uncertain or you’re having doubts about anything, ask him to clarify it for you. This is especially vital if it concerns payment terms and mortgages. It is best if you do not disregard your uncertainties.

Marmaris

There was a short description about the charm and tranquility of Marmaris, Turkey. Another member also shared that he or she has visited the place some time ago and was also taken aback by its natural beauty.

Marmaris is considered one of Turkey’s Anglicized and busiest resorts. Less than 20 years ago, it was only a quiet fishing village. Right now, it has become a Turkish Riviera. Several restaurants and bazaars have already been developed. With Luxury Cruise Liners docking their port, more and more tourists marvel at the town’s archaeological sites and modernized facilities.  In fact, Pamukkale-now the eight wonder of the world, is located there.

Marmaris is also famous now for its extensive water sports activities. This would include parasailing, water skiing, scuba diving, catamaran trips to Cleopatra’s Island and the Turtle Beach, among others. Of all these, scuba diving is at the top of their list. In fact, they have a number of dive centers that provide diving lessons and guided diving trips/excursions. As for the temperature there, it actually goes up to as high as 45oC.  It is vital you put suntan lotion, if you are going there. Keep yourself hydrated with lots of water.  In Marmaris, tap water is chlorinated so it is better to consume bottled water. You can only drink their water if it has been boiled or sterilized. Keep in mind that water sources there that are labeled ‘icilmez’ are not safe to drink.

Similar updates about Marmaris can be found through various web portals. This place has become a popular destination for tourists. A lot of factors make it a perfect get away. To name a few, it would be because of their friendly people, year round beautiful climate, their Mediterranean lifestyle, the number of activities to do there, their affordable cost of living and the reasonable prices of the properties. This makes Marmaris, Turkey a well loved paradise.  

Australia- a nicer warmer England??

There have been questions about Australia’s stand now in the market. One member is asking for good properties there. Another member attested that Australia would be an unlikely choice now, with its unlimited land to expand.

Australia actually led the worldwide boom on real estate properties. It has a record of price increases a few years back. At the moment, its housing market is facing temporary economic adjustments. Melbourne and Sydney are some of the places there greatly affected by these adjustments. Even so, there are other cities in Australia that are gaining popularity. A good example would be Perth.

Perth is a city situated in Western Australia. Properties there are still affordable. It is slowly making its way to the investment market, along with the increasing demand for accommodation and rent there. The reason for this would be the major improvement done on its employment sector. The burst of opportunities has attracted many job seekers. This resulted to the stable flow of internal migration.

With the increase of new residents, the rental rates for housing increased as well. The rates are still reasonable compared to rental rates in Melbourne and Sydney, which has gone way beyond affordable levels. Perth is still a good investment opportunity since it is still gaining popularity, especially for long term investors.  After a few more years, it will be worth more than 100% of your purchase.

Aside from Perth, there are also other cities in Australia that are becoming popular tourist destinations. You can research for these other properties on the net. Try to get as many information as you can, if you are really decided on investing in Australia.
