Ok you are not keen on JP and i respect that so you are living where? and i guess there is no poverty in your area or dead horses on the roa?

After 15 years we would like to hear your remarks on this forum did you never think of moving from Brazil if its so bad?

im selling yes but not on this forum and not in JP .Based in Fortaleza.

Hi Mineiro,

How about answering his questions?? I am very interested in hearing them?

After all it's one of the highlights of driving around the Nordeste.

So now you have been to JP, I thought you hadn't been past bahia at all??

You must have a good eye for dead horses, cows and donkeys as I haven't seen any that I can remember and I have driven a lot around the NE.

Mineiro,

People on this forum have no idea about the North East as it once was and still is in many place,they just see a beach and blue sky!!.They think it has been gushing with wealth since Brasil was discovered in 1500.It was and still is one of the poorest areas in Brasil.

Talking about buying in the U.K-thats where to buy while the crash is hittIng home.Prices are cheaper than the N.E and returns will be higher than here.We have made our money and are now investing in the U.K market.I doubt those that invest in Brasil now will be able to do the same in 10 yrs time.

show examples, and if you had done some research you would have those examples at hand, or is this like your so called accountants advice which never materialised.

Goodness Davy,

You get more bickery as the day wears on.You live in the UK you know the prices around the country.I live here and I know the prices in the uk and here so stop making rediculous comments.

I think selling at 400,000 -600,000 reais buys plenty of offers in the UK market right now,especially when earning in Real(our currency is very strong),just click a few buttons and all the bargains appear!!

So you are saying that you haven't done any research (as usual). When you do I would love to see what sort of great property you can find for 130k gbp in the UK that compares to property in the NE.

BTW. I don't live in the UK, but you wouldn't know that.

Rob, I'll be very pleased to do so. But before I go any further would you please answer the same question that I've asked you about 10 times now. Why if tourism is such a big thing here in Brazil has one of the top resorts Costa do
Sauipe never made a profit ?

First of all most of the violence is not in favelas. Infact the favelas are very safe to live in since they are ruled by the traficantes who do not support any criminal activity besides their own ofcourse. Poor b*st*rd who is caught stealing in a favela. It's only when the police or a rival gang enter the " morro " that any shooting begins.

Secondly I live in the Triangulo Mineiro which is actually a pretty afluent area.


And finally I have at times thought of moving elsewhere but all in all I suppose I'm really pretty satisfied here. I've never said that Brazil is a terrible country to live in but there's a big diference between the reality and a lot of what's being spouted on this forum. I've lived in Brazil for 15 years now , am married , have 2 daughters , and a lot of investments here. I don't think it's a good idea for people who have little idea about Brazil to come and invest their hard earned money on some second rate coastal development in the Northeast. First because from what I imagine there will not be a great deal of return in rentals. And secondly because all these developments seem very overpriced. However if they want to throw their money away that's fine to me . The Brazilians and the rest of us will just wait for them to see the reality , sell far cheaper than for what they bought at, and we'll buy it all up for next to nothing. My advice to these people if they want to see huge capital growth would be to buy stocks on the Bovespa.

Dave you obviously don't have a very good memory because I have told you before where I have already been in the Northeast. Now as for dead horses and donkeys you mustn't have travelled far because only the blind would have a chance not to see them. We are talking about main roads Dave not the ones next to the beach.
