PlanBrazil Dossier № 02

What a property in Brazil really costs

Acquisition costs, running costs and the items nobody mentions.

The asking price is not the price. This publication quantifies the difference.

Who it is for

  • Those seriously considering buying a property in Brazil
  • Those who want a yield calculation that survives the costs
  • Advisers who need to guide a client

Who it is not for

  • Those who only want to compare asking prices
  • Those looking for a yield guarantee

Contents

  1. Acquisition costs: ITBI, deed, registry, review, commission
  2. What changes from one municipality to another
  3. Running costs: condomínio, IPTU, insurance, maintenance
  4. Managing from Europe: what it costs and what it delivers
  5. Vacancy and seasonality with realistic figures
  6. Gross is not net — the calculation step by step
  7. Three scenarios: conservative, base, optimistic
  8. Tax on rental income — and why you need local representation
  9. Short-term letting: what the condomínio must authorise
  10. Registering the capital — and what exit costs without it
  11. The exchange rate as a risk factor in its own right
  12. The five most expensive mistakes and what they cost

The cost block that appears in no listing

Between the asking price and what you actually transfer sits a series of items that are rarely shown together. We bring them together — with source and date, and in ranges rather than false precision.

Who is behind it

Bruno Unger, raised between Brazil and Austria, and Rafael Rébula, a Brazilian lawyer. Legal sections are reviewed before publication.
