There is a path of progress barrelling along the coast and the area was still thriving when the country (and especially the South) was in recession.Gentrifying areas of Sao Paulo for micro condos.

São Paulo, Brazil for a couple years.Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Bali for several months each during a world tour.Moved from Bali to Austin, TX 10 years ago.We like it here, but we're growing tired of the 8-month long summers and lack of infrastructure to support the incredible growth.

Sao no more than 1000/yr.I like the cap ex rat you use.

@Guy Pounguen Sao @Nicole B. thanks for your input I will be financing through a small credit union and looking for near turn key for this first one.

@Pierre Streat look into Simone Sao she also a investor friendly agent .

Couple that with the fact that we travel a LOT and that I run a company doing business in Sao Paulo and Manila... we like being renters and keeping our mobility intact.
