Demand within Brazil property looks set to continue for at least the next two decades with the market offering some of the best investment opportunities around. But as always, the secret to high returns is choosing the right sector for your investment in Brazil.And all the signs are pointing to the middle and lower ends of the Brazilian property market as the areas where demand is highest and supply lowest. On the other hand, at the other end of the spectrum, the luxury property market is clearly showing signs of strain.Over the last two years, investor focus – both Brazilian and foreign – has been firmly on the high-end of the Brazil real estate market. Properties priced over R$700,000 (315,000) have seen spectacular rise prices, particularly in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, prompting speculation that the luxury property market is about to peak.But while the top end of property investment may well be in danger of collapse, other market sectors are showing quite the opposite.Prices have also risen in the middle and lower ends of the property market and construction continues apace, but demand still has a very long way to go before it comes close to meeting supply. Wilson Amaral, Chief Executive of Gafisa, one of Brazil’s largest real estate companies, claims that Brazil needs to build 1.6 million new properties every year just to satisfy demand from families entering the market. And all this without even addressing Brazil’s massive shortage of homes, currently estimated at around 7 million.Quoted in the business broadsheet, Valor Economico, Mr Amaral said that “if Brazil goes on growing at 5% to 6% a year, with salaries rising above inflation and young people entering the job market, demand will go on rising at current levels for the next 20 years”.His predictions echo the Ernst & Young report, Sustainable Brazil – Housing Market Potential, which describes meeting demand for property in Brazil as a “huge challenge”. Statistics in the report point to an increase of 58% in the number of households in Brazil by 2030. This together with a rapid increase in purchasing power leads Ernst & Young to forecast the construction of 37 million properties in Brazil over the next two decades.A huge slice of these homes will be built for Brazil’s fast-emerging middle classes, indicating that this sector is the one with the biggest investment potential.Meanwhile, the Brazilian government is focusing on meeting some of the demand. The state housing programme, Minha Casa Minha Vida aims to build 3 million homes by the end of 2014 through heavily-subsidised loans. But it’s more than obvious that Minha Casa Minha Vida will only go part of the way to help reduce demand.Buyers in the middle and lower sectors of the Brazil property market tend to have a bigger stake in their homes than those in more developed markets. Brazilians buying off-plan typically pay 25% to 30% of the property price in monthly installments over the construction period. As a result, buyers are much more price sensitive and house prices in this sector of the market tend to experience a slow but steady rise unlike the steep price hikes seen in luxury property.So, while speculation in the high-end property market in Brazil’s big cities is expected to lead to the market peaking in the very near future, the very opposite is true for the middle and lower sectors. Here, the combination of relentless demand – that’s unlikely to be met for at least 20 years – and buyer profile means there’s scope for successful investment in property for many years to come.

The Best Ways I’ve Found To Make Money Online From Home
Have you been looking for a way to make money online without having to know much of the internet stuff? Wanting to work at home but don’t know how to do it? Here is the key gem: Between all the tricks on joining the craft beer movement, opening a gallery or being a tour operator, you will find clever advice that anybody can apply to make money online quickly.
The most basic way to make money online is through affiliate marketing. It is really easy. Basically you set up an ad for someone she is selling something and when they click through and buy it, you make money! Simple enough if you have no technical skill at all. Here are some simple tips on how to earn using affiliate marketing:
Drop-shipping is one of the most useful methods. You select a product in which you believe there is a demand and then drop-ship it to your customers in small quantities. You make money from the difference between what the stock costs and what you sell it for. For this method, it is important to note that you may need to make space for your inventory on your premises or perhaps wait until you have a build of an inventory before you can start drop-shipping; but the advantages make it a good choice for those seeking to make money online from their spare time.
Paid surveys are a great way to earn some extra cash. These can be accessed easily and there are many sites where you can get paid from spending your spare time. There is one site, though, which is said to pay $200 a week for twelve weeks straight – you can’t beat that kind of money making potential. With paid surveys, it is important to note that the sites are generally scams, and that you need to do some research to ensure you are making good money making opportunities.
Finally, a passive income generating method that can bring in money on autopilot is eToro’s Forex trading. This works by allowing you to invest on a demo account and earn money from the performance of the currencies being exchanged. The best thing about this system is that it allows you to do virtually anything and still see profits coming in. eToro has an average starting price of less than $50 and can generate an income of five figures in just a few months.
These are the best things I have found for making money online from your home. Though none of them are as good as, say, a paid-online course, they are much more affordable and can provide a valuable education to start earning money immediately online. With just a little research, you should be able to find a legitimate opportunity to get paid to learn the basics of making money in the currency markets. This is a truly remarkable opportunity.
