Why Brazilians Invest in Real Estate in the USA

Recently, Veja magazine has published a report on the main reasons why Brazilians decide to invest in Florida properties. According to the matter, we only lost to Canadians as the largest real estate buyers in the region.

An interesting question asked by the report is “What does a citizen of a country with 7,400 kilometers of coastline, such as Brazil, buy a summer residence eight hours away and can only enjoy a few times a year?” This, if you can not move there definitively, of course.

Certainly, the motivation is the same for everyone: it is possible to simulate a Brazil where the rates of violence are very low, the beaches super clean and the rules of traffic are respected. In addition to being able to enjoy excellent education for the children. Not to mention the price of real estate, which are relatively cheaper.

“On the sands of Miami Beach there is no trash or street vendors, only flocks of seagulls, life guards and bathers. You can leave your belongings quietly under the umbrella while diving or taking the camera to record the landscape. At the outdoor bar tables on Lincoln Road, a busy boardwalk, customers chat without having to hide clocks, jewelry and cell phones, “reporter Tatiana Gianini explains.

Another point cited in the matter of the Veja is the difference between the interest rates of the United States and Brazil. While in Brazil the Selic is around 10% a year, in the United States the rate does not even reach 1%. Therefore, this greatly facilitates the final price of the house.

For those who are interested in buying real estate in Orlando or Miami, the procedures in the United States are much simpler. “The client, to prove income, only needs to present a letter from the accountant who makes his tax returns and another from the manager of any bank in Brazil, in addition to commercial references to show that he is a good payer,” the reporter explains.

So, know a little about the main cities of this region.
