Buying an Abandoned House in Brazil!

This video is about an abandoned house in the south of Brazil. The house has only been half finished but work has stopped and it has been put up for sale in its current state. In the video I will show you this house, how much it costs and the value it could have once it is finished.
I am Swedish and I moved to Brazil 5 years ago and in this video I will share my experiences of living in Brazil.

I believe you made a mistake, where you said to be the kitchen appears to be the laundry room. and the place you said was the laundry room appears to be a half bathroom - lavabo The kitchen is probably open concept with the living room. It's fashionable in Brazil to have a living room, dining room and integrated kitchen.

[@nordicinvestor2]

You might be right, that would make more sense 👍.

[@Aggie98bqn]

Obrigado para mostrando. 👍🏼 Sim. Por favor algunos mais videos sobre casas.

[@nordicinvestor2]

Sim vou fazer mais videos sobre outras casas 👍🏼

Thanks!

600k sounds like a lot. Which city is it in? I'm currently in Torres and I'm really enjoying it.

[@nordicinvestor2]

600k is way to much. I'd only buy it if the seller reduces the price

[@josea.r.avelino181]

have you introduced yourself to all of your neighbours? you will obviously need to hire builders to work on your project and you should ask your neighbours for recommendations on who you should hire (sometimes who you should not hire) for the job. It's a debatable grey area the difference between sense of community and nepotism.

[@nordicinvestor2]

I will definitely need a builder, good tip about talking to the neighbours.

[@TheMDM1956]

How big is the lot the house is built on? A bit expensive although it is a nice corner lot, the neighborhood seems to be quiet, green, and clean, and the living room will turn into a gorgeous space with all the surrounding greenery.

[@nordicinvestor2]

The lot is 420m2 (4500 ft2). I agree that its a bit expensive, I need to get the price down. I am looking at other places as well and will do videos showing those as well.

[@MazinElrayah]

How's the internet in general in the South specially rural areas and do they have fiber??

[@nordicinvestor2]

Most towns in the south have fiber. Where I live, I have fiber with a speed of 300Mbps

[@Giovanni-it2sp]

It sound expensive. The house is in the middle of nowhere; land is cheap in your area. If the sales price would actually reach 1 million R$, the actual cost will be, besides the land, only $400,000 R$ for the electrics, and complete interior. Much better to buy a fully built property in this case, or build yourself from scratch.

[@nordicinvestor2]

I agree its sounds expensive, I am looking at other places and will do further videos soon.

[@sky-pv7ff]

Yeah,seems like they're trying to rip off some gringos.

[@eduardor5899]

They’re not trying to rip off gringos , i spend 6 months in brazil every year since 2020 specifically São Paulo and the real estate market is super inflated at the moment. Good luck finding a brand new unfurnished one bedroom apartment for under 120k usd in a GOOD area

[@Giovanni-it2sp]

@@eduardor5899it’s in the middle of nowhere. Not São Paulo.

[@eduardor5899]

@@Giovanni-it2sp understand, but something like that in sp 3-5 million reals easy.

[@user-cp9el6dc3j]

I would like to know more of your experience. I’m moving to SC Brazil soon. How can I get in touch?

[@Minipulga_]

Nice acquisition... Will you move there once it's done or will you rent it?

[@nordicinvestor2]

I have not bought it yet... need to get the price down. I am looking at other places as well and will do videos about those as well. The plan would be to rent it out.

[@Gregski66]

Could be a nice project, you didn’t mention the size of the land the house is being built on. I feel the price is too high, check how much a lote of similar size costs in the same area, I’m guessing no more than 300k has been spent to get it to where it is now. I would offer around 450k I think that would be a reasonable price. Good luck

[@nordicinvestor2]

The lot is 420m2 (4500 ft2). I agree that R$450k is probably a reasonable price. I am looking at other places as well and will do videos showing those as well.

[@danielpiva8210]

You have to think a little bit, because there’s a lot of things to do in order to finish this house.

[@nordicinvestor2]

Very true, I have not bought it as the owner is not willing to negotiate on the price yet

[@jasongowans2787]

Is that brick work reinforced with any kinda steel? Could practically blow that over lol. I'd agree with one of the comments down below. That seems like a lota Reais mate for that considering what you still have to spend on it.

[@Pixelarter]

The bricks are just stuck with cement mortar, and later will get a cover layer of mortar from 1.5 to 4 cm (thicker on the outside, thinner on the inside), and a very thin layer of plastering to smooth the surface for painting. It gets pretty strong when finished. You would need a sledgehammer and work your ass off to put a wall down. The hollow ceramic bricks are not structural though, they just fill the cavities of a frame constructed with reinforced concrete with rebar.

[@nordicinvestor2]

Sorry I forgot to mention that the house has concrete beams and pillars to give the house strength

[@jasongowans2787]

Ah so there is rebar in there, nice. @@Pixelarter

[@jasongowans2787]

Phew haha. For a min there it was starting to look like a few out in the sticks jobs I've seen in Minas haha :) @@nordicinvestor2

[@biltongben]

whereabouts in SC? my god 600k for that seems way too steep !

[@nordicinvestor2]

Yes its too much. I'd only buy it if the seller reduces the price.

[@biltongben]

@@nordicinvestor2 I wish to sell one of my beachfront apartments in santa Catarina.. Would you be interested or know of anyone who would be?

Hello friend.. How long will it take to get a Brazilian passport after marrying a Brazilian citizen?

[@nordicinvestor2]

Hi, I haven't got a Brazilian passport. I've got a permanent visa which you can get if you marry a brazilian. Not sure if it is worth getting a brazilian passport for myself, maybe in the future. I think you need to live 4 years in brazil in order to apply for a brazilian passport.

[@renan3916]

so expensive, you are being ripped off, you can buy a mansion for this price

[@nordicinvestor2]

Very true, I have not bought it as the owner is not willing to negotiate on the price yet

[@user-yl1lo5ne8r]

Don’t buy it for that price my wife told me its not a good investment for that price and she is from brazil

[@John8-32EnglishFortheFamily]

Excuse me, Nordic Investor dude, so if I understood you well, the owners are asking 600K in Br reais for the house and the land in their present state, but once the project is finished their selling price will be between 1M-1.2M reais, yes?

[@nordicinvestor2]

The house is for sale for R$600k in its current state. If the person who buys it completes all the work then the estate agent said that the property could be worth R$1m-R$1.2m
