You've Been Lied To...

This morning, as I sat sipping my espresso as I always do, it dawned on me that in just over a months time I’ll be sipping some premium brew in beautiful Brazil, shoulder to shoulder with 25 freedom-seeking adventurers, all of us deep in the Northeast, chasing sunshine, sovereignty, and opportunity.

Brazil? “Oh, I’m not sure about going there, isn’t it risky”?

Nope.

You’ve been misled. 

The countries that the media loves to frame as “developing,” or “chaotic,” or “still catching up”… are often, if not always, the ones outproducing and outpacing the so-called “first world” nations in the things that actually matter.

I’m not talking about fancy tech unicorns that have vast on-paper value and most often never produce anything crucial, or even usable for that matter, but instead, I’m talking about metrics that actually matter. 

I’m talking about food, energy, natural resources… the things that drive real economic output. 

The stuff people actually need to survive and thrive. 

And when you zoom out and look at where that production is coming from… Brazil is always near the top of the list.

The world’s largest producer of coffee? Brazil.

Sugar? Brazil.

Soybeans? Brazil.

Orange juice? Brazil.

And it doesn’t stop there - Brazil is also a top-five exporter of beef, poultry, iron ore, ethanol, and leather. 

It’s home to one of the world’s largest reserves of freshwater, a massive coastline and a growing industrial base that’s building at a time when most “advanced” nations are scaling back or outsourcing everything they used to make.

Meanwhile, look at the countries that get praised as models of stability: bloated bureaucracies, unserviceable debt loads, and crumbling domestic production. 

Does this make any sense?

These so-called “first-world countries” are importing energy, importing food, importing labour and act like it’s their strength, when really, they’re becoming hollowed out. 

That’s what makes Brazil, and especially Brazil’s Northeast, so compelling right now.

It’s not that the country is perfect. It’s not. Nowhere is.

However, it’s still producing. It still works. It still builds.

And while the headlines keep telling a story of instability, the numbers tell a very different story. 

Foreign investment is flowing in. 

Infrastructure is improving. 

Coastal land values are rising. 

Think about it - the countries that get painted as messy, unstable, or “still figuring it out”… are often the ones holding the global economy together.

And yet, these same countries are somehow feeding the world and powering industry. 

While G7 countries seek praise on the international stage about pronouns or hitting their  inflation reduction targets, Brazil is over here exporting 30% of the world’s coffee, dominating the global soybean trade, and supplying more orange juice than any other nation on earth.

Funny, isn’t it?

These places are labelled “developing,” but in the areas that actually matter, they’ve already arrived.

They grow the food. They pump the fuel. They harvest the minerals. They export the steel, the meat, and the sugar.

They’ve got water.

They produce energy. 

…and they’re not collapsing under their own weight like the over-leveraged, hyper-entitled “first-world” countries that spend more time regulating productivity than encouraging it.

What’s really wild is how little credit these countries get for it. 

The same media outlets that use them as cautionary tales are utterly dependent on what they produce. 

The same global institutions that call them “emerging markets” are built on top of the commodities these places export. 

And the same investors who shrug them off as too risky? 

They're often the ones indirectly benefiting the most through ETFs, commodities funds, or finished goods that all trace back to resource-rich countries they’ve never actually set foot in.

So yeah, I find it funny. Not haha funny. More like, “wake up and think for yourself,” funny.

Because if you follow the narrative, you’ll think Brazil’s some chaotic dump, whereas in reality, things are the exact opposite.

Follow the numbers and you’ll see a country powering more of the world than anyone even cares to recognize, let alone admit.

If I have anything to do with it, this won’t be the case for much longer.

Let’s get into it. 

From Caparinas and Carnival to Data Infrastructure & a Thriving Tech Hub

Based on everything I’ve mentioned above, I hope it comes as no surprise that Brazil’s Northeast is becoming a new hub for global data infrastructure

Right now, major players in the tech and telecom world are laying undersea cables that run from Africa and Europe directly into Fortaleza. 

In fact, Fortaleza is one of the top landing points for international submarine cables in all of Latin America. 

That means it’s not just a pretty beach town anymore… 

…it’s turning into a strategic node in the global digital economy.

And what follows digital infrastructure?

Data centers. Cloud service expansions. Multinational offices. Highly skilled (and high-paid jobs).

All the stuff that transforms a once sleepy coastline into a magnet for talent and long-term development.

The companies that are laying cables, building server farms, and setting up digital operations don’t build for today. 

They build for the next 10 - 20 years… and beyond.

They’re not betting on Carnival. 

They’re betting on a global economic powerhouse. 

And here’s where it gets interesting for us. 

Because once the cables are laid and the companies move in, the people follow.

High-paying jobs create upward mobility.

Those workers don’t want to live in congested cities… they want lifestyle, ocean views, walkability, and a quality of life that is not offered in a major city like Fortaleza.

So, in many cases, they’ll opt to live in places like Porto Das Dunas and commute to Fortaleza for work.

…and if they choose to stay in the city for the sake of convenience, well, guess what…

They’ll vacation nearby. 

They’ll be coming to the beachside regions with their families, their friends, and they’ll come often, and they’ll stay for more than just a night or two.

This is the Brazilian way, and this is how your investment here thrives.

The beachfront townhouses and rental condos we’re building are exactly the kind of units these highly skilled workers and newly minted managers are booking when they want to unwind. 

They’ll be scouring Airbnb, booking dot com and Expedia for places to stay.

And what they will find is your listing.

And it’s not just those directly employed by this emerging industry who will be coming here either, because when multinationals show up and establish a presence in a new city, they don’t come alone.

They bring consultants. Legal teams. Accountants. Contractors. Adjacent business services.

…again, all of whom are going to need places to live in or vacation in.

Are you starting to see the picture I am painting?

The demand is growing, and it is just getting started.

I don’t have a magic wand, but I have a pretty damn good grasp on the correlation between real estate demand and economic growth inside emerging markets, and all the measurable indicators are pointing firmly in the right direction for those of us who are already invested here, or will be taking out a position here soon. 

It’s funny how obvious this all is once you actually come down here and look around, which, again, you’re invited to do this coming August from the 2nd through the 9th.

Construction Update: The Reserve Beachfront Condos

Folks, it’s due time that we talk about The Reserve.

This is the very first official construction update for one of the most exciting projects we’ve ever brought to our Brazil Beachfront readers… and I’m happy to say that everything is exactly where it should be.

First, let’s discuss the underlying essentials:

All of the preliminary infrastructure work is now underway and progressing exactly on schedule.

That means:

• Road access upgrades have started

• Electrical grid layout and planning are in motion

• The entire project site has been professionally levelled and prepped for vertical construction

In short, the groundwork is getting done.

This is the kind of early-stage progress that most investors underestimate. 

It’s not flashy. But without it, nothing else happens.

Now, what about the actual building itself?

Construction is scheduled to begin in October of this year. 

That’s when things really start to take shape above ground, and that’s when we’ll start sharing detailed photo updates from the site.

Yes, we’ve said from the beginning that this is a 24-month build, and that timeline hasn’t changed.

But what’s important to understand is why those 24 months exist.

Since kickoff, the majority of time has been spent navigating and completing a series of environmental studies, engineering plans, and government permit approvals. All of which are now complete and up to date. All of which ensure that this project remains 100% legally compliant and ready for full-scale construction.

So while other developers may stall out waiting on paperwork or scrambling to retrofit infrastructure after the fact, The Reserve is being done right, the first time.

You should expect nothing less from me or my partners at IMPAR. 

Completion remains fully on track. No delays. No hold-ups. No red tape left to cut through.

This is the quiet phase… the part where time is now working in your favour. The value of this project is only going to rise from here.

If you have already secured a unit here, good decision. 

And if you didn’t move on The Reserve when we launched this project back in October, well, there isn't much I can do for you at this point in time, as the project sold out.

That said, if you write Michael at [email protected], there is no telling what type of magic he can work.

You may not be able to secure a unit inside the Reserve today, however, there is no telling when someone from our community may be looking to offload one of their units to you at a gain, so if you’re interest in investing here, or inside one of our other 7 projects in Brazil’s Northeast, writing Michael is never a bad idea. 

This is your first official update. More to come in a couple of months. 

DEAL OF THE WEEK: Market-Ready Townhouse in Porto das Dunas

After last week’s newsletter, where we took a long, hard look at the transformation of Porto das Dunas from a quiet fishing village into one of Brazil’s most desirable beachside suburbs, I didn’t expect the immediate flood of responses we got.

But maybe I should have.

Because we didn’t just present a theory.

We laid out the facts. 

And let’s just say: a lot of you were paying attention.

We had calls from investors, from families and from people just like you who had never even heard of Porto das Dunas before, but instantly understood what we were saying and thus, took immediate action to not miss out on the incredible deal I secured for you guys.

So, after that response, I got on the phone with my partners and told them, “I need a must-buy deal that is smack dab in the heart of Porto, was Dunas, and I want it to be market-ready so the buyer can start cash flowing right away”.  

So this week, I’m bringing you a DEAL OF THE WEEK that hits right at the heart of everything we talked about in the last issue, except it’s ready to start generating hands-off, turn-key rental revenue for you right away.  

The townhouse I will be discussing today is fully completed.

Not “just some final touches and it will be ready.”

Fully completed and ready to title.

It can be fully furnished with A/C and be live and in the rental program by August of this year.

That means one month from today, this property can be listed, marketed, and earning.

It’s a three-bedroom, three-bathroom unit, spread across 100 square meters, with a private rooftop terrace that is 27 square meters… and it’s got full, unobstructed ocean views. 

That means morning coffee with the breeze. 

Sunset wine with the surf in the distance. 

This is your outdoor hangout spot, your BBQ zone, your stargazing deck.

It’s located in Phase 4 of a very limited development.

The last time we had a unit in this phase? It sold in two days.

There are no other phases planned in this immediate area.

There is nothing planned here because there is no more space to build.

Believe me, if we could make more townhouses here, we would. 

This is the kind of unit that attracts weekenders, beach-seekers, and families visiting Beach Park, the largest water park in Latin America, with over one million visitors every year.

…and by the way, Beach Park is a massive driver of consistent rental demand in this area. 

It’s a known name and it keeps tourism flowing year-round…

…and it’s just minutes away from this development. 

And you can own this outright for $178,000 USD, and this cost is inclusive of the furniture package.

Let’s recap what you get:

• 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

• 100 square meters of interior space

• Private rooftop terrace with ocean views

• Fully furnished with A/C

• Shared access to a large communal pool

• Less than 1km to the beach

• Steps to Beach Park

• Ready to rent in 30 days

• Title-ready

This is exactly the kind of opportunity most people don’t recognize until it’s too late.

But if you’ve been reading this newsletter for a while or even just since last week, you already know the fundamentals here are solid. 

You know this region is on the rise. 

You know how rare it is to find a turnkey rental with this kind of beach proximity, rental demand, and ownership simplicity at this price.

So here’s what I’ll say:

If you’re even half-serious about grabbing a property in Brazil that can generate income almost immediately, this is the one.

If you want it, write Michael right away. As many of you already know, Michael is an absolute workhorse and will make sure he is ready to discuss your purchase, day or night.

[email protected] for a direct line to Michael. 

Well, folks, that is it for this edition of Brazil Beachfront; however, I’d like to leave you with this for today:

When was the last time you and your spouse, your son or daughter, or even a close mate of yours did something adventurous together?

If the answer is “shessh, it’s been a while”, well, as someone who has been to over 110 countries and has lived in 9, I urge you to think on this.

The world is vast, and our time here is short.

Get outside your comfort zone and do something you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Even if international travel hasn’t been your thing, it’s not too late to start, no matter your age.

On the tour I am leading this August, I assure you you’ll be in great company.

The average age of tour attendees has historically been late 40s and up.

Here, check this out - it’s a YouTube video recap of the last tour I led back in February of this year to Paraguay. This should give you a better idea of what our tours are like and who you’ll be surrounded by during our time together on the ground in Brazil’s beautiful and booming Northeast.

Speak soon,
