The "All Business Edition"

Most people spend their lives reacting.

Reacting to headlines.

Reacting to markets.

Reacting to the fallout of decisions they never made… 

…or the systems they never signed up for.

But what I’ve learned, after more than 25+ years of walking this offshore path, is that the people who thrive, not just financially, but in how they live, are the ones who aren’t afraid to go against the grain by challenging the conventional. 

They move before the herd, and often do so in ways that further separate them from said herd. 

They make sense of the signals before they’re obvious. 

…and they plant flags where others haven’t even started looking.

That’s the work we do here.

And let me be honest… it’s not simple.

This is specialized work.

It’s deep, global, relationship-driven work.

It requires a willingness to look past the surface, to filter through the noise and to actually get boots-on-the-ground in places most people can’t pronounce, let alone find on a map.

We’re not here playing guessing games.

We’re here designing real, long-term offshore strategies and executing them in jurisdictions that are quietly setting up for decades of upside. 

Right now, one of those jurisdictions is Brazil’s Northeast.

What we’re seeing unfold there isn’t just a fluke or a post-pandemic bump. 

It’s a long-term realignment of domestic wealth and regional development that has the potential to change everything inside the powerhouse of a country that is Brazil. 

And we’re just in time.

This edition of Brazil Beachfront is a perfect example of why being early matters and how being early can lead you to massive gains that most people don’t even know exist. 

Inside this edition, you’ll find an amazing DEAL OF THE WEEK, which is literally the only available completed beachfront unit across all active projects. 

I'll also share an update on the progress of my personal rental unit, and you’ll hear about the development of one of our projects, Ocean View Villas.

Read right until the end because I am going to tell you about something I’ve been planning for months…

So, if you’ve ever wondered where serious offshore investors are looking…

You’re about to find out.

Construction Update: Ocean View Villas Are Coming Into Focus… And Fast

The Ocean View Villas are a collection of 16 homes that are mere months away from being ready to deliver to the savvy investors who took the leap and secured one of these beautiful villas for their own offshore real estate portfolio. 

The Ocean View Villas are currently under active construction, and the transformation over the past few months has been impressive.

We’ve just passed the concrete and rebar stage, which is when things really start to take shape.

We’re now entering the phase where these homes begin to take on their final shape, and the picture of why these Ocean View Villas are so special becomes clear. 

These may still just look like shells anymore, but let me assure you, the most laborious work has been completed.

If you can look past the fact that this is still very much an active construction site, you should be able to envision these units are spaces where rentals begin, where families visit, where long weekend trips turn into long stays and where tourists who planned on visiting once, end up returning time and time again. 

The Ocean View Villas were designed with intention; private outdoor areas, modern finishes, and a layout that balances privacy with a strong sense of community.

There is a moment in every development project like this where a build stops feeling like a project and starts feeling like a home.

We’re approaching that tipping point.

Next up: outdoor common areas.

Landscaping, paving, pathway design, shared amenities, and palm tree installation are queued up and ready to begin. 

These finishing touches will completely transform the site's feel, turning what was once a raw, sandy hilltop into a cohesive, vibrant, resort-style community.

The projected delivery is on track for the end of next month (June 2025), and once keys are handed over, owners will be able to furnish their villas and begin onboarding into the rental program immediately.

So, I want to send a big congratulations to everyone who is awaiting the delivery of their Ocean View Villa.

We are getting near the finish line, folks, and I am sure you are just as eager as I am to begin reaping the benefits of hands-off turn-key rental income directly to your bank account every single month.

Take it from me, when the monthly cheque from one of your offshore properties hits your accounts, it feels as if you are beating the game and have found a glitch in the system that has allowed you to reap such great reward without having to sink hundreds of thousands of dollars into an investment property. 

Property of the Week: The Only Beachfront Duplex Left …And It’s Ready Now

Let me start with this - we’re not talking about a “soon-to-be-built” project here.

This isn’t a rendering.

This is a titled, finished, move-in-ready beachfront home sitting directly next door to my own.

Right next door to the unit I own myself in Phase A, we’ve now got a fully completed beachfront duplex available in Phase B… and it is the move-in-ready direct beachfront unit available across all current projects.

Located just 30 minutes from Fortaleza, one of Brazil’s most vibrant, accessible, and in-demand beach cities, this home sits directly on the sand, in front of a quiet and pristine stretch of coastline.

Even though we’re just 30 minutes from Fortaleza, somehow, this property manages to feel like a hidden oasis - quiet, safe, and set against a backdrop of palm trees and turquoise water.

You’re not buying beachfront in the middle of nowhere. 

You’re positioning yourself in one of Brazil’s most in-demand beach regions, with baked-in appeal for both vacationers and long-term renters alike.

Beachfront units always sell first.

And this one is ready now.

If you’ve ever looked at one of these properties and thought, “Maybe I’ll wait until construction’s finished…” — well, here’s your (one and only) shot. 

This one’s not under construction. 

It’s done. 

Finished and ready for a title transfer. 

Beyond becoming my neighbour, here’s what’s up for grabs:

• 2 bedrooms

• 2 bathrooms

• Private plunge pool

• 90m² (900+ square feet)

• Absolute beachfront in one of Brazil’s most valuable coastal zones

This isn’t just a property to use… it’s a property that works for you.

You can participate in the rental management program and benefit from consistent demand from both Brazilian tourists and international guests. 

This is a region on the rise, and at this point, it is as clear as day that this is NOT a speculative play…

…this is a blue-chip beachfront play where we are still so far from the top that I won’t even discuss the growth potential of this Duplex. 

Here’s what it’s going to take to make this Duplex yours:

• $195,000 USD cash (fully completed, title ready to be transferred)

• Furniture package available for $12,500 USD (full turn-key rental-ready set-up)

Because the unit is already fully built, there’s no financing option available; this is a straight cash deal for the serious buyer reading this right now who wants to move now and start cashflowing immediately.

I’ll tell it to you straight - once this unit is gone, there won’t be another move-in-ready, spacious, beachfront unit like this available for quite some time. 

Remember, you can’t manufacture more beachfront,  and given we’re running out, the decision to invest in Brazil’s beachfront couldn’t be clearer.

You’re not paying top dollar for a turnkey unit in a market that’s already saturated and on the decline.

You’re stepping into a professionally managed, income-producing asset with real upside and low downside risk, because remember, even in its current state, the numbers work very well. 

You’ve got fixed monthly costs.

No property tax surprises.

A clear path to higher yield.

So let’s recap what this really is:

This is not a paper investment.

This is a physical asset that pays you to own it, in a jurisdiction where foreign property ownership is protected, the entry price is still low, and future demand is climbing steadily. 

You stay here a few weeks a year and enjoy daily beach walks and a lower cost of living.

Or you could sit back from afar and literally watch your asset appreciate as the town grows around it.

Or, you could have the best of both worlds and keep it as a vacation property for yourself that you rent out when you don’t plan to be there. 

This, my friends, is simple, clean and tangible wealth generation.

This is the kind of deal that will pay you back in spades over the years and decades to come.

Send an email to my friend Michael at [email protected] right now to learn more about this deal of the week.

And hey, if this unit is a little more than you’d like to invest, don’t worry, I am confident Michael and the team at IMPAR have some other inventory that is priced a little closer to the 100k mark that may serve you and your unique situation better. 

My Rental Report: Real Returns From A Cash-Flowing Brazil Beachfront Duplex

I now want to take a hard look at what this investment actually produces because, at the end of the day, it’s not just about beautiful views or turquoise waves.

It’s about returns and upside. 

So here’s a snapshot from the real world. 

In April of this year, my personal beachfront duplex earned R$5,200 ($1040 USD) in gross rental income… and that was with just 14 nights booked (a little less than a 50% occupancy rate). 

Remember… that’s two weeks of bookings in a market that still hasn’t even come close to its peak. 

Let’s dig into the numbers:

• Gross rental income: R$5,200 ($1040 USD)

• HOA & Utilities: R$1,150 ($230 USD)

• 25% Management Fee: R$1,300 ($260 USD)

Net Income: R$2,750 ($550 USD) after ALL core expenses.

This was achieved without any extraordinary pricing, marketing blitz, or major local events that brought crowds into town during the month.

In fact, the unit is still in the early phase of onboarding to regional booking platforms and hasn’t yet been promoted to full capacity.

And yet… it cash-flowed beautifully month after month, and will do so year after year, for decades to come.

Growing, compounding and increasing steadily.

And by the way, as this cash is reliably hitting my bank account like clockwork every single month, the VALUE of the property itself is going up 5-10% annually…

…show me any stock you can confidently say that about.

That’s the power of well-positioned real estate in a market like this, where domestic demand is surging, regional travel is booming, and competition is still years behind what you’d see in a saturated market like Mexico or Costa Rica, for example. 

This is the early innings of what will become a high-demand tourism corridor.

The area around this project is quietly transforming because of the vast numbers of Brazilians who have worked their way into the middle class and can now afford to reap the benefits.

This rapidly growing middle class now have the means to travel, and if you know anything about Brazilian culture, you know that this is one in which fun is prioritized.  

The region is going to continue to explode in the coming years due to ongoing infrastructure projects that are completed, underway and planned.

This is going to translate directly into greater occupancy rates, as well as the price you will be able to demand on a nightly basis is going to increase. 

This is the definition of smart, early real estate investing, and I couldn’t be happier with how my investment property is performing.

We’re Heading to Brazil… And You’re Invited

If you’ve been following my work for any length of time, you know that I don’t just write about offshore living… I live it myself.

A big part of what I do through Expat Money is take unconventional, freedom-minded and action-oriented people like you to destinations to experience the very opportunities I talk about almost every day.

My team and I have led these immersive, high-impact Exploration & Investment Tours in a number of Latin American countries, and for the first time, I couldn’t be more excited to be heading to Brazil. 

And we’re not just heading to any part of Brazil…

We’re going to the Northeast. 

We are heading to the very region where stunning coastlines, wealth migration, domestic tourism, and underpriced real estate are converging to create one of the most compelling opportunities I’ve seen in years.

This tour was officially unveiled back in March during the Wealth, Freedom & Passports Conference in Panama, and even though we only just announced it a couple of months ago, the seats for this tour started being scooped up immediately. 

Conference attendees snapped up spots on the spot.

I guess you could say people just “got it”.

They heard from other members of the Expat Money community about how incredibly impactful, useful, rewarding (and fun), our tours have been, and they trusted this tour to Brazil would live up to the hype. 

If you were at the conference, you would have seen firsthand the types of high-level people who joined us.

You would have heard directly about the momentum that was created, and most importantly, about the results that come from joining me on the ground. 

The truth is, these tours aren’t mass-market sightseeing packages.

They are tight, curated, high-trust experiences designed to give you clarity, access, and the confidence to take offshore action swiftly and confidently. 

Here’s just a taste of what you can expect when you join me and a small group of 25 like-minded individuals this August 2–10, 2025:

• A once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the Amazon Rainforest… river cruise, piranha fishing, rare wildlife, indigenous tribes, and more. Truly a bucket-list experience your friends will be jealous of.

• On-the-ground real estate tours in Fortaleza and the surrounding beachfront regions.

• A curated group of serious investors and freedom-minded professionals.

• Private transportation for the entire week.

• Domestic flights inside Brazil are included (Manaus to Fortaleza). 

• An exclusive kick-off lunch in Panama before we depart

• Top-tier accommodations, most meals, and all ground logistics handled by my team.

This isn’t just a chance to see a country… it’s a chance to enter the market the right way, with boots on the ground, expert context, and insider deal access.

Now, I need to be very clear when I tell you that we’re capping this tour at 25 people.

There won’t be last-minute additions.

Once it’s full, that’s it.

So if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to step into Brazil, not as a tourist, but as someone who’s gain real exposure in a booming market, this is it.
