Over the last decade, the Brazil property market has faced some significant challenges. Meeting these and the new ones is key to successful investment in one of the world’s hottest real estate markets.

Brazil recently released its Q2 economic figures and they make very good reading. With strong economic growth, salaries on the rise and controlled inflation, Brazil is steaming ahead as a top investment destination.

Brazil is just over a fortnight away from presidential elections and President Lula’s designated candidate, Dilma Rousseff looks set to take a landslide victory.

Latest mortgage loan figures and rises in prices for property in Brazil show huge growth. And the strongest increases are found in the market for homes costing less than R$150,000, one of the biggest opportunities for investment in Brazil.

Demand within Brazil property looks set to continue for at least the next two decades with the market offering some of the best opportunities around. But as always, the secret to high returns is choosing the right investment in Brazil.

Brazil is now 15 months into its emblematic Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV) programme. As progress continues on construction and financing of homes, more and more Brazilians are finally able to get their feet on the first rung of the property ladder.

Now that the 2010 tournament is over, Brazil has taken the first steps to its 2014 World Cup celebrations. Since the World Cup will be the first of two top events and a source of major investment, Brazil is taking the preparations very seriously.

As word gets out about the Minha Casa Minha Vida phenomenon in Brazil, more of the world media are talking about it.

Obelisk is pleased to announce the publication of their Brazil Investment Guide. This brand new guide offers 24 full-colour pages of information about the many investment opportunities available in Brazil.

Reports don’t come more bullish than this – according to Morgan Stanley, Brazil is “red-hot” and its economy is “firing on all cylinders”.
