Brazil Beach Condo For $55,800
Date: 11/13/2009 Author: Ronan McMahonTaiba is less than an hour from downtown Fortaleza on Brazil's North-East coast. Locals here have long shared their little fishing village with outsiders. First, wealthy Brazilians from Fortaleza came to build their weekend homes on the beach. In more recent years northern Europeans (mostly Norwegian) have come to escape Scandinavian winters. Others just visit to kite surf. Those who don’t have their own condo stay in one of the pousadas (inns) dotted along the beach...

The Hidden Side of My Brazilian Island
Date: 10/02/2009 Author: Lee HarrisonI sped across the causeway and penetrated the lush, tropical landscape of the island of Itamaracá. But instead of continuing through the hills to the popular beaches, I veered left…toward the mysterious “north end” of the island...
Read OnBrazil and China Play Ball, U.S. Left On Sidelines
Date: 07/02/2009The global recession has choked U.S. trade with Brazil, knocking the U.S. from the top of Brazil's trading partner roster. This year the #1 spot has been filled... by China.

Brazil Beach Condo for $56,100
Date: 06/26/2009 Author: Ronan McMahonI thought the beach condo I told you about two weeks ago would be my last quality beach pick in the $50,000 range for a long time. (And, as expected, the properties I told you about back then were gone within a day or two of my e-mail going out.) But this part of Brazil is generous with these kinds of deals.

Take a Look at What I Saw From my Dune Buggy…
Date: 06/25/2009 Author: Lee HarrisonThe tropical sun was just about straight overhead. A gentle breeze blew in from the ocean, and the temperature was approaching the year-round normal high of about 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s supposed to be the rainy season here in the state of Ceará (Northeast Brazil) but we’ve nonetheless seen brilliant sunshine every day this week.

Date: 06/24/2009 Author: Dan PrescherDuring my recent trip to Fortaleza, Brazil--for our Global Real Estate Investment Forum--it occurred to me: There are actually two Fortalezas. Which one would I rather own? That's a tough question.

Three Beach Homes For Less Than $35,000
Date: 06/23/2009 Author: Len GalvinLast year I went on a road trip along Brazil's northeast coast, driving from Lagoinha all the way down to Natal, along 540 miles of absolutely stunning coast. (The roads weren't quite as stunning--I'll be glad when the big World Cup infrastructure fund fills in all those pot holes.)
This week, our roving Latin America editor, Lee Harrison, is taking his own Brazilian road trip--and it makes mine look like a walk to the store. Lee is driving from...

Beach Houses that Earn their Keep--Cash in on Rental Income
Date: 06/10/2009 Author: Len GalvinBeachfront property not only makes sense as an investment--after all, they’re not making anymore of it--but it can also make a great second home. And if you only plan to live there part-time, why not rent out your coastal paradise the rest of the year? The rental income can mean your beach house is covering its costs--and maybe more.
You can make a sure-fire investment in rental property in any country in the world with an established tourism market--once you know what to look for.
