    Should we really expect a Brazilian property boom because of the World Cup?

    That may be true for parts outside the big cities, where property prices did not go through the roof, but In Rio en Sao Paulo they fell by over 20% last year and there is hardly a soft landing. This is AFTER the world cup, by the way (see the title of this threat) but still before the...

    Should we really expect a Brazilian property boom because of the World Cup?

    Coming to think of it, it may well be a good idea to remove pages like this: Why Buy in Brazil - uv10

    Should we really expect a Brazilian property boom because of the World Cup?

    I just reread my post of august 2014 and the reply that it was, according to PresidentK, a short term view. While I don´t pretend to be any expert on finances (my track record is rather bad there) I do believe lasts weeks O Globo article, stating that the housing prices in Rio and Sao Paulo...

    Should we really expect a Brazilian property boom because of the World Cup?

    There IS a question in there, and it is a real one. I also have an opinion, which seems not to much different from yours, being that Brazil has much improved the last years. However, that is over now. Productivity has fallen past year, car sales seem to be 30% down. Prices of properties in Rio...

    Should we really expect a Brazilian property boom because of the World Cup?

    Could you, for the sake of understanding, indicate what you consider to be a LOW mortgage, and compared to WHAT. Also, please indicate that it is not possible for non-residents to get any loan with a Brazilian bank, and foreign banks are usually reluctant to provide one here. Please note, that...

    Magaprojects in the NE collapsing

    On page 1 of this discussion i wrote "All in all, certainly with the melagomanic projects under discussion, the market expectations were way too high. We must point out that the tourism figures from Europe are declining over the past 5 years or so. That is because (mainly) Brazil has become...

    New Natal Airport

    That is not hearsay. Someone that earns some "awards" year after year doesnt do hearsay. Or should not. As a matter of fact, an airfield with about 10-20 starts and landings per day is not really very important. And will never be. It was (and for some still is?) the wet dream of project...

    Magaprojects in the NE collapsing

    I have the impression that Rob is a bit confused about identities of posters. Unless your name is Maarten too, that is. That would be a coincidence. Rob also seems to be confused about the subject of this treat. It is not about having a free lunch (TINSTAAFL) but about the many failed...

    New Natal Airport

    Unlike some project developers the established airlines are not really willing to gamble their (or others) money on white elephants. Therefore, the answer is no (TAP excluded probably)

    New Natal Airport

    Almost finished, that is. And international flights cannot land there yet, as the paperwork is not ready. Quite a bad performance, I think, for the airport that was announced time after time as the (in near future) biggest of South America.

    Dr Geraldo Furtado

    Is that Petropolis RJ ? I assume that are not quotes for MCMV houses, more in the luxury segment outside Petropolis. Right? I am pretty sure that in the luxury condo´s like Lagos de Itaipava and Granja Brasil many appartments are still unsold. You can guess the reason for that i hope.

    Will the FIFA World Cup 2014 help the Brazilian real estate market?

    I have no idea what "monopoly restrictions" you are talking about. The big carriers (I was NOT talking about charters like Thomson and/or TUI) from Europe or the US will generally do the service from their own hub to a hub in Brazil, leaving local traffic to local carriers (maybe a partner)...

    Will the FIFA World Cup 2014 help the Brazilian real estate market?

    I think you forget that just building a new airport is not going to get the carriers to fly to Natal from anywhere. They won´t do that as long as they are not reasonably sure to get the seats filled. The WK will give some movement of tourists, during the two weeks that the tournament lasts. But...

    Investment costs in Brazil

    1) IR is of course only paid over earned money from said investment. Not over the capital investment itself, but f.ex. over the income from rent. 2) Dunno, I think that was for international transfers. You (or they) forgot about the fee to manage the property How are you going to pay the...

    Magaprojects in the NE collapsing

    Likewise is Le Corbusier in Europe. I wonder what you try to say here. You find Alta Leblon a nice place to live? Or the skyline on the beach a good example of fine archtecture? Outdated by WHAT? Or WHO? You only express opinions you can´t substantiate. (BTW Brasilia was build around 1960...

    Magaprojects in the NE collapsing

    You are aware it is an opinion, not a fact? Does the name Niemeyer ring a bell? Ever been in Brasilia, or Bela Horizonte, or... And as far as I know, things are designed and build by local architects and contractors. Am I wrong? That was obviously said by a foreigner. You must be talking...

    Magaprojects in the NE collapsing

    You did not indeed. What you say is : "Natal to have the largest commercial airport in Latin America" This may be dream, but that can only become true IF that airport will indeed become an international HUB. IF all those promised billions of foreign money are invested, IF the millions of...
