Ralph I cannot agree with you more about the crime rate in Natal. I have been there and to other cities in Brazil especially the northeast. After experiencing Natal a few times I have no desire at all to return ever again. Most of the Real Estate People there I encounted were liars , crooks and cheats.You couldn't be more correct surfingbrazil...it amazes me that numbers of people that can and do actually fall for this type of thing. When I see people/companies marketing such projects the first thing in my mind is "Keifer Robins" and company!!
As of lately prices are getting quite ridiculously high as well for small places with small lots . Very crowded and Natal is in bad shape as far as I am concerned.
Joao Pessoa was much much nicer but prices there have risen as well and become just almost as ridiculous as Natal !!
All the areas in around Rio and Sao Paulo are always being given a really bad rap like the areas in NYC. BUT go out of town a bit and you will find some great deals in some very safe areas along the coast.
Cost to get there much better then Northeast and better flights and travel times as well.
I was once a Lover of The Northeast but have since found much better areas in the south now.
Too too much B.S. in the northeast !! You have a better chance of getting a good deal in New York !!!
Good Luck to All and BEWARE !!!
