WHY IS INVEST IN PROPERTY IN ORLANDO A GREAT OPTION?
rlando the “City of fantasy” as it is frequently called due to its primary attractions (Disney, Universal, and other amusement parks) which attract people from all over the world. Are typically families who traditionally see with their dear children typically spend an unforgettable vacation that will probably be repeated several times, guided tours of young people who come from various regions perform the magical dream of “DISNEY”, people of all ages and from all corners of the world I came for the first time or already usual in these parts, no longer will return whenever the opportunity presents itself. Definitely, this fantasy City is magic and that magic that delights all who live here, here or there is a pass, extends to many activities here practiced and no doubt also real estate market. Absolutely, thoroughly this movement of people that is growing substantially every year makes the real estate market in this region is extremely active, modern construction continually arise not only in the few pieces of land that still exist on the edge of town but especially in the peripheral regions where still are enough land available. New ventures, new businesses, new shops, modern companies, all emerges and grows naturally with impressive speed. And for many of these people who came one day and gently let the magic of this city the attractive option of the second house (vacation house) inevitably will be in this place. Even more so when that second home in addition to providing wonderful stays to family and friends even now represent a profitable invest-

ment with a considerable income, to be placed on the market for rent to other visitors (when it is being unused by owners). In remarkable parallel with the number of frequent visitors, the considerable number of local residents don’t stop growing and all these new buildings that appear in residential areas are being naturally acquired for these new residents or for those who already live here or by potential investors that the put in the profitable market for affordable rentals, since searches for valuable properties for affordable rent also continues to grow continuously. It is for these and other reasons we say thoughtfully “INVEST IN REAL ESTATE IN ORLANDO IS PRECISELY A GREAT CHOICE” and if it were not all that real estate activity that today we perceive in this region would not constantly increasing numbers in potential sales, in guaranteed income and sincere appreciation. Real-estate investment options in this specific region are diverse: residential, vacation properties, commercial substantial estate, income properties (which are typically more historic buildings but with extraordinary reasonable rates of successful return), real estate (from local auction taken over by the financial entities) and degraded buildings (which after a remodel and resale properly provides a guaranteed income fast and usually quite attractive). With all of these options represent many foreigners, not only Brazilians but also citizens of other countries, who would like to create a real-estate patrimony, some motivated by the prospect of a recovery quite at-
tractive, others motivated by I wish in the future, once retired, establish your secure residence in this city and on occasion, supporting a real-estate structure which enables them to reside here and live comfortably. And Orlando has investment alternatives in the real-estate market for everyone, even for those Brazilians or foreigners of any part of the world, who do not reflect financial availability enough to acquire a property in sight. For these foreigners, non-residents, that barely providing all the necessary capital to purchase a property, but here they wish to create a cultural, the real estate market offers attractive investment opportunities with enough interest attractions. Purchasing a property with a down payment of only 30% of the value of the same (Plus the cost of transfer of the property.) and the remaining 70% financed by up to 30 Years, is one of the alternative convenient to any foreign citizen who can demonstrate, even in your country of origin, the availability of this initial value of 30%. When you purchase a property in this alternative and putting the same on attractive lease market, ease of renting and constant enhancement, the current owner of this property can therefore receive a return of income sufficient to pay all expenses inherent in the
property, such as (PROPERTY TAX and insurance, condo, etc.) and still pay benefits of funding, not needing therefore invest more capital to the discharge of the property, but also begin to receive a supplemental income at the end of a period for short the appreciation of rent originated from property, which represent a current reality and which should remain constant for many years yet. The real-estate investment market is well interesting and advantageous, however, varied and complex, and the collaboration of a real-estate agent is always recommended for sure a detailed search by property best suited and certainty of completion of a more profitable investment. My Estate this Connection your character to support him find the property most interesting and suitable to their needs. Having said that, our recommendation wants to invest in real estate- “INVEST in ORLANDO� where valorization and yield are increasingly attractive.

urrently, the willingness of Brazilians by undertaking and live in the United States is enormous. The search has been absolutely significant and doubts, where to start, is always present. According to the specialist in corporate law, business expansion and internationalization, Eliete Negrão, this is the exact time for those who dream of this type of investment. According to her, from 2014 to here, there was a relaxation of American entrepreneurship to people who have the “entrepreneurial DNA” and the United States have never been so open to new investors. But where to start? There are many paths. However, at this time it is significant to be properly advised and with a effective planning. One of the most sought-after media is currently the E-2, type of visa for investors that allows entrepreneurs, whose countries repre-
sent part of the list of countries in Trade Treaty with the United States, to enter the country and conduct business. It is possible to purchase a present company in American territory or build up a new business. Brazil, however, is not part of this list. However, many European countries do, and this is where people with dual citizenship – Italian, German and Polish as can fit. There is no exact amount of investment required for the E-2, everything will depend on the type of business. Many come with an initial $100,000 amount, but that does not mean that a minor amount doesn’t qualify either. If the value is greater than or equal to $500,000, another type of visa, such as the EB-5, for example, can fit. Remain several options, with many steps to be taken and re-
quirements to be respected. Therefore, we recommend hiring a consultancy with extensive experience in this type of process to support you from start to finish, in order to avoid delays and frustrations, with the most incredible success. According to Yaya Negrão, anyone can invest in the United States and the Brazilians are increasingly conquering this space. For her, this is because the soil has been fostered by a dynamic and entrepreneurial intelligence brought by Brazilians. The forecasts for those who want to undertake and live in Florida are excellent, it’s time!

Brazilians are among the biggest buyers of the real estate market in Florida.
E
very day people ask me; what to expect from the real estate market in Florida? And how to start investing seeking good returns? The first answer I give is, you can expect the best opportunities for assets and the second answer; seek the help of a good real-estate consultant. Always rebound my clients the importance of being well advised on the purchase of a property here in Florida. The State of Florida is the most popular region for Brazilians seeking investment in real estate in the United States. We live in a moment of the favorable market to invest mainly in the region of Miami and Orlando. Is commercial, residential or for leisure, the sale of houses, apartments and commercial rooms everything is on the rise, of we should examine on a case-by-case, but in general terms the moment is spectacular. This is due to a number of factors, among them, the sharp growth in the region, the ease in real estate financing to foreigners, the rates, and etc. Today it is possible to acquire a property in Florida without leaving Brazil. Currently, it is possible to find properties available for sale with values around U $350,000. For
10 BrazilUSA - Orlando Real Estate
this it is necessary to count with a good real-estate consultant, these professionals will always be able to assist and find the best deal on the market. What I, with my experience, I can tell you is that it’s one thing to hear, see on television or the internet, it’s another thing to experience and feel the blast of the market and investor satisfaction. According to the National Association of Realtors, Florida is the most sought-after destination among foreigners who seek real estate in the United States. Venezuela was the country that invested in the real estate market in 2017, with Argentina in second place and Brazil taking the third position. The expectation for the real-estate market in Florida next year is that there is more investment in condos in Orlando.

Have you already thought about waking up with perfect lips every day? Today it’s possible because of aesthetic procedures.
The permanent makeup professional, Juliana Prats, famous for her success at transforming eyebrows Brazil is bringing this new procedure to the US. “Petal Lips” is a permanent makeup technique to correct the symmetry of the lips to improve contour and texture, and give the lips a healthy appearance. The procedure is painless, and lasts for two years on average. “Some women look for hyaluronic acid fillers to enhance their lips, but what really bothers them is pallor
and asymmetry . With my ‘petal lips’ technique, we get clear, rosy lips every day,” Juliana explains about her new technique. Juliana will come to Florida in October this year. Juliana Prats @julianaprats juprats@hotmail.com

EVENT DECOR: THE SAME AS INTERIOR DESIGN?
uring the time I was a partner of J. Closs Events & Weddings, which is led by the talented Janine Closs, I was able to put into practice all my knowledge in the area of Design within Events and Weddings, which for many, may seem two distinct areas, but they have many things in common, but if the event decor is not treated with the same professionalism as a home or business design, it has started out wrong. Many times we may notice that, at parties and events, the decoration ends up being left out, or carelessly executed. Or even done with whim, but perhaps by someone who does not have, say, training and natural talents for this important task. The decoration of an event is an extremely important component. For an event to be successful it is necessary to see everything from the outside, that is, from the side of the participants and guests. Just as when receiving guests at home, the same concern with details, should be taken into account, when receiving guests to a party, celebration or a small gathering. As they did not participate in the preparations, it is the decoration that stands out. The way the colors appear, the objects used in the ambiance, lighting, people circulation, space sectoring and even furniture arrangement are important aspects for guests feel the mood of the event. Even unconsciously, this will interfere with their
12 BrazilUSA - Orlando Real Estate
general opinion of the occasion. That is why knowing how to make the event design of any size, a very relevant aspect. STYLES AND TRENDS: Just like interior design, when it comes to defining a style for a decoration of an event, one should take into consideration the aesthetic harmony as well as the current trends. Event professionals tuned in recent decoration trends, know what can be used - or dismiss what should not conform to more recent times. They know how to combine colors and extract the best of them, to harmonize materials and textures, to make compositions, to risk unusual mixtures, but, above all, to study the technical viability of what is possible or not - knowing how to be skillful in creating and efficient at the time of the accomplishment. And speaking of trends, what is up at the most sophisticated and trendy parties? The trends of wedding decorations, for example, live a great time. After years of rustic do-it-yourself (DIY) weddings, airy spaces filled with greenery and pale-colored palettes, we are undergoing a complete change in these times. Get ready for color - in abundance - in the form of neon signs, geometric details, velvet sophistication, and more. There will always be timeless themes such as the classic, the rustic, the romantic - but all of them with that extra touch of design and modernity that, immediately deflagrates a well executed project - and very well elaborated by those who understand the subject.
LOGISTICS Unlike interior design and architecture, when designing something for an event, the assembly schedule is much narrower and requires flawless logistics. Often, professionals have a few hours to set up an entire event, and an hour or two to take it apart, leaving the space clear and clean for the upcoming functions. This requires not only an ability to create or know what is beautiful or not, on the part of the professional. It requires an excellent experience in coordinating assembly, controlling schedules, leading concomitant teams of service and almost supernatural ability, to circumvent possible problems in time to deliver the assembled event, without the client or guests noticing. Just enjoying decorating, tinkering with objects and flowers here and there may not be enough to successfully complete the decoration of an event. It takes a lot of study, experience, planning, creativity and a lot of talent .... After all, you will not get a second chance to impress your guests or even to make unforgettable, that event you may have dreamed of for a lifetime. I am sure that from now on, when entering an Event, you will notice the similarities between Interior
and Event Design, and all the details that involve a great decoration.

Inside Florida Real Estate Market
he State of Florida remains a popular choice when it comes to foreign buyers. In 2017 the total purchases of residential properties made by foreign buyers went up by a significant $24.2 billion, which represented 15 percent of the national residential market. The range of different investment possibilities and the short-term profitability are key factors on that. While buyers purchase properties all across the state, Orlando has been one of the areas that have experienced a high household growth. The overall interest in this subject has led to this quick interview with the International Real State Specialist Leandro Teles, with over 15 years of experience in the United States market, and currently, founder and CEO of TekesCorp Group, a corporate group specialized in the North-American real estate.
1. Overall, how’s the housing market dynamics in the U.S.? What are the aspects new buyers should pay attention to? First, you need to wisely choose your realtor, unlike other countries such as Brazil, in the United States all realtors have access to the same home-listing database that is updated multiple times per day. Another important aspect would be to be sure about what kind of investment you have decided to make. Would you prefer a long-term rental or short-term vacation home? Will you use it during holidays with your family? These answers will surely guide you when finding out which would be the best choice for your investment. 2. How’s Orlando economy changing? Is it stable by now? Orlando’s housing market is far away from being stable, but in a good way. There’s not only a growing demand on vacation rentals but also on residential housing aiming families searching for a new place to settle or even retired people coming from northern U.S. and Canada looking for Florida’s warm weather. This time, the growth is happening in a totally different way, when compared to how it was during the housing bubble in 2007. According to Forbes Magazine, it is expected a 35% growth in Orlando’s housing until 2021. 3. And, how are the foreign buyers placed in this market? What is their current level of investment? When it comes to the foreign buyers, we see them in a highly advanced stage, already purchasing homes in Orlando or Miami. Most of them have invested in their
14 BrazilUSA - Orlando Real Estate
own new homes a few years ago, and nowadays they tend to invest in building fresh new entire gated communities or even brand-new houses in popular areas. At the moment, our construction management company located in Orlando is developing 3 new communities in the Orlando area and over 18 residential units on Florida’s west coast, summing up to 135 units in total. Not to mention other bigger projects that are currently in progress. 4. What about the payback? What’s the expected income when entering this market? When it comes to risk versus return tradeoff, the U.S. Real Estate Market is different from other investments types as the risks are much lower, which provides certainty and security while investing. When talking about numbers, the return on investment (ROI) over rentals on ready to live homes may vary from 4% to 6% per year, however, this number will go up to 8% to 10% when choosing a land and hiring a construction company. The numbers are even higher when building from scratch to sell it right after it’s completion, giving an ROI of 18% to 20%. It is always important to remember that a few other factors might affect these rates, such as location and construction type. 5. What are the market trends when it comes to investing? It’s natural to look for other types of investments, mainly for the ones who prefer to invest in rental homes. That’s why the acquisition of homes located in long-term rental areas has attracted many investors looking for a stable investment. In 2017 Orlando was considered for the third year in a row, the city that has generated more employment in the United States. Around 1000 jobs are generated per month. That shows how high are the family domestic migration rates, represented by families that decide to move to Orlando searching for jobs and a perfect place to call it home. Windermere, for instance, is one of Orlando’s most valuable areas. That is because this area offers a huge number of high-quality schools, and continued development and investment. All of this translates into higher housing demand and a very attractive business scenario for international buyers. Leandro Teles Fundador e CEO TelesCorp Group Leteles.com

The importance of buying property as a legal entity
W
hen it comes to overseas investment, Brazilian preference for real estate in the US is nothing new. However, equally important as building equity and enjoying that benefit in foreign lands, is making sure you won’t run into any problems in the future. Normally, you will not run into any problems until the sale or succession of the property. This is where the dream can become a nightmare. In the US, taxes can reach almost half the value of the property in case of succession, resulting in significant losses. This fact is often overlooked by foreign investors because acquiring property in the US is simpler than it seems and there are no immediate negative consequences. Yet, it is important to be aware of the differences in the acquisition of property in the US compared to in Brazil. Successive planning, which may
involve the acquisition of the property in the name of a legal entity, is the most appropriate solution. For many Brazilians, it may appear to be a scam or against the law, but in truth it’s completely legal as long as it’s done right. If you are thinking of acquiring a property in the US and you are not yet familiar with US laws, you need a professional in the area who can advise you on the best way to structure your plan, how to optimize your inheritance tax payment, and avoid loss of capital. The Dominium team has ample experience in the matter and can help you achieve your dream of owning a home in the USA, without all the headaches.
