Land in Brazil

Buying land in Brazil is a secure investment option with the potential to earn extremely competitive returns. Demand for plots of land has risen significantly over the last few years as savvy investors have begun to recognise the potential of Latin America’s success story.

Booming land and real estate market

While the global credit crunch sent property prices reeling in developed markets from the United States to Spain, it has done little to slow the land, property and real estate sector in Brazil.

It is still thriving on a commodities boom and increased access to mortgage financing. The country’s abundance of land, year-round sunshine and lower prices are also all proving attractive.

Low risk investment with competitive returns

With a low outlay of costs and minimal maintenance requirements, land in Brazil provides an uncomplicated and low-risk investment option. When purchased at the right moment in the right location, it can bring tremendous returns in a relatively short period of time.

Land is considered to be a medium term investment as it can take around five years to generate considerable returns. Once it has received development permission its value increases significantly, especially in areas where demand outstrips supply.

Range of resell options

It is advisable to purchase land that either has planning permission or has the possibility of obtaining it. Although land can never be completely useless, planning permission will provide the investor with a greater range of options and higher potential financial gain when the time comes to resell.

Holding onto the land, or ‘banking’ it, can be the same as placing your money into the bank and leaving it there for a period of time, only with better returns. The land continues to increase in value while having little or no upkeep costs and no mortgage repayments.

Sought after location

With its stable economic climate and low living costs, it is the perfect time to invest in Brazil. The low cost of land coupled with potentially high returns has made it one of the most sought after locations to buy land in the world.
