Fear
And Loathing In Fortaleza ~ Robin In Brazil's Northeast ~ by Robin
Sparks - Maybe I’m just tired from having arrived at 2 AM only to be told
that my hotel was full. Or maybe it’s the wind or the high-rise buildings,
which appear to have been planted without any kind of architectural forethought.

Fear
And Loathing In Fortaleza ~ Robin In Brazil's Northeast - Part Two
~ by Robin Sparks - It’s true that Fortaleza has one of the sunniest climates
in the world with year-round temperatures hovering in the low to mid 80's.
If you don’t mind relentless wind, it may be perfect for you. But I happen
to dislike wind (a lot), and the sight of so many aging white men in bermuda
shorts on the arms of young brown women in tight short skirts and stacked
heels, just intensified the ick factor for me.

 Real
Estate in Florianópolis, Brazil - The real estate is a bargain,
the beaches uncrowded, and the small towns that dot the island are colonial
and picturesque. It's Ilha Santa Catarina, otherwise known as Santa Catarina
Island and simply called Floripa by the locals;
a 200 square mile island located just off the coast of southern Brazil
and it's as good a spot as one could ask for. Imagine a very large and
very lovely Brazilian island with numerous perfect beaches, (there are
49 major beaches, countless small ones) dozens of lovely towns, and then
throw in the city of Florianópolis, which is a city large enough
(pop 260,000) to provide all of the modern necessities of life without
it being an oppressive metropolis. |

| The
Buying Game - Buying Real Estate In Brazil - About a one and
one-half hour drive into the mountains west of Rio de Janeiro is the town
of Teresopolis. Jim and Debbie wrote me to tell me about their $30,000
purchase of an estate consisting of four buildings, a 2 bedroom main house,
a spring fed swimming pool, a vegetable garden, an enclosed tennis court,
and over a dozen varieties of fruit trees. This I had to see for myself.
Jim wasn't exaggerating. Teresopolis was idyllic and he and Debbie had
purchased a gorgeous estate for the price of a tool shed back home.

| A
Month To Buy a House In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ...and The Good Life In
Buzios - Juliana at MR IMOVEIS handled all the investigation and negotiations
for me. I also asked her to find out what the deal was with the kioski’s
on the beach. A resident can actually buy the 12x24ft beach building from
the city starting at R$ 33,000. An established one in Ipanema was offered
to me by the owner for R$ 90,000, must be gringo price. I placed a deposit
on the house and obtained the application to purchase one of the vacant
kiosks in Barra, (there are no vacant ones anywhere else). I was then instructed
to set up a bank account in Rio to facilitate the deal. In Brasil you have
to deposit the full purchase price in a bank at the time the seller delivers
the good title to the real estate to the same bank. Everyone waits about
a month then the money is given to the seller, minus the 2% government
transfer tax and the new title is given to the buyer. By Romel Fajardo |
