Nor did I buy a piece of a fancy sand dune where the only history is that nobody has stood on it, least of all rented it or built on it for the last 10,000 years! What I did was got off my backside and left no stone unturned to find what I thought was right for me at the price I wanted with the person who I felt would do a good job for the price he wanted. I read all the websites, contacted some and spoke to many who's nearest knowledge of Brazil was buying some cashews in Tescos or watching Ronhaldinho play for Barcelona. They spoke to me in "property speak" and in more cliches that made an interview with Wayne Rooney sound like a lecture at The Harvard Business School. I researched how the rentals would be paid to me, how I could get the money paid and banked, the locations and prices. I never went near a "launch party" nor on an inspection jolly where you have more chance of escaping Al Quaeda then the Agents accompanying you. I did what I thought was best for me and I bought as you say in a place with no investment history...10 mins from the Beach in Ponta Negra! But, what would that area know about Capital growth compared to a hole in the ground 80km away?
