So don't cut and run but do the utmost professional job and overcome the objections.

As for me not putting facts forward, I destroyed these ild statements about airline links to Brazil, to the point that one website has amended their flight information...I think it is the one that claimed BMI Baby with their 737's are flying to Brazil, hopefully via The Canaries to re-fuel! With regard to getting a bank account it is a proven fact that this can be very difficult. With regard to the commecement of work, you are the only one that has made an attempt to show "work in progress". As for whethersome of these sites in Natal area have infrastructure, why not publish pics of the local supermarkets or land where they will be built? All this helps to clarify issues. Im not at all against property development and am pleased to now announce that I too have bought an "off plan" apartment. But, the developer I bught from didn't claim I would make a quick buck, he didn't say that prices are rising rapidly, he didn't tell me I can get there cheaply or easily and he didn't offer me a hypothetical rent guarantee that I cant bank. Oh and one final thing, he is 80% finished and I have stood on the roof and looked down at a cement mixer working! And yes, I have lots of fotos.
Personally I think you've brought a lot of action to the forums and have made a lot of people sit up and challenge what they are being told, which is a good thing. As long as people think for themselves I think they will come to the conclusion that some developments can be a good investment opportunity.

But I do get annoyed that you never once seem to be positive about anything an agent posts here. It reminds me of John Cleese and "the argument"... Your criticism would be more appreciated if you could also recognise the positive side of the argument instead of ONLY battering on about the same negative points. As in any exchange of information, when one side starts ignoring the other it becomes a monologue.

The fact that you do believe in off-plan investment is proven by the fact that you've bought. Good for you and best of luck with your investment, hope it works out for you. I guess I can take that as an answer to the question I asked you about two (!?) months ago, if you believed Brasil was a good investment or not.
