    TURTLE BAY ECO- What do you think?

    CPF Number It is true that CPF number can be applied for and obtained for a paltry fee - if we apply directly to the local Brazilian embassy.. Rather than the high fee from attorneys it's the lack of any standard when it comes to their quote for getting you one that upsets me... Even...

    Brazil- Property Solicitors/law Firms!!

    Mardsei, Wolf, Dee etal... I am not sure if some sort of standards are followed in offering these quotes. I one of my cases Legalex is recommended by my agent. The agent themselves indicate approximate 'legal charges'. And these quotes are nowhere near the 1 or 1.5% mentioned by mardsei ...

    Money Transfers to Brazil

    Andy, Just to clarify, do you mean to say that as and when the Escrow agent transfers money to Brazil, the Central Bank of Brazil records the sum paid by 'us the investors' against our name(s)?........ so that it's there to refer back in future? By the way, some of these developers are...

    Brazil- Property Solicitors/law Firms!!

    Hi all, I see posts about various positives & negatives of property law firms (some local firms not knowing tax implications at the home country of the investor, fee differential between various firms etc. etc...) I guess the place of origin of the legal firm is key to many aspects...

    TURTLE BAY ECO- What do you think?

    Due Diligence Guyz, In case the developers or property agents are not coming out with the docs within a reasonable time frame after payment of the reservation fee, I guess investors would be better off cancelling the deal... May be there are ppl who proceed anyway and complete the deal...

    Bahia seems to be developing !! Recently from my busness contacts I learnt that four of the global Tire majors are setting up manufacturing facilities in Bahia. Looks like there are many other industries coming up as well including automobile players... May be the north-east is not...

    TURTLE BAY ECO- What do you think?

    Hey all !! I need your views... Turtle Bay prices have been hiked by the developer as promised earlier... ...and I am being offered to buy a plot at the earlier price which is some 15% less... Well this is because I had shown interest earlier and in principle registered for it, though I...

    TURTLE BAY ECO- What do you think?

    Hi fresh, Thanks for your reply mate... It's true that we have to pay attention to the prospects of the exact location we are investing. As you say I have always had the suspicion that in most of the properties advertised world-wide, which the overseas investors buy are meant to attract...

    TURTLE BAY ECO- What do you think?

    I am a first time overseas investor, stumbled upon Brazil recently. I would like to know how secure is an investment made from such a distance. In case you do not live close by, how do you manage to "look after" your property in Brazil... or is there no need to bother on that ? I know many...
