In recent years, many Brazilians have been investing in financial investments in banks abroad, mainly in banks in the Bahamas and Florida. Without knowledge of the laws that govern financial transfers and movements, problems are created with the financial system that can even lead to imprisonment in the USA.
Investing in the US has become a very interesting alternative that has attracted the attention of foreigners from all over the world, including Brazilians. The country offers a solid and stable financial market, with a strong currency and profitable investments for investors with varied profiles and budgets.
Within these markets, we chose to work with 5 types of investments:
Purchase of Shares of North American Companies
Buying stocks in US companies is one of the best alternatives to investing in the US. On a daily basis, American stock exchanges trade securities of large companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, among other companies with strong market value. This increases the chances of diversifying the investment portfolio with internationally consolidated companies.
In addition, stock yields are also high and safe because the dollar is a strong currency and the US economy is stable.
Brazilians can invest in the American market in two ways: through ETFs (Index Fund) or BDRs (Brazilian Depositary Receipts).
On the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3) two types of ETFs are traded: the SPX11 and the IVVB11. They replicate the performance of the S&P 500 index, which gathers the 500 largest publicly traded companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
BDRs are also traded on B3. This application works as an investment fund made up of shares of American companies. However, when investing in a BDR, you only receive the income from the fund, and you do not own the shares.
Investing in real estate in the USA
The booming real estate market, mainly in the states of Miami and Florida, has attracted investors from all over the world, including Brazilians. In Orlando, for example, there are options for residential, commercial and even vacation homes, for those who earn money with vacation rentals.
We can find homes in Orlando starting at $200,000. Prices vary according to the location and structure of the property in the city. In order to invest in the US successfully, it is important to have the support of US brokers and to know the country's real estate market well.
Consideration should also be given to aspects such as taxes for the purchase of the property, as well as the costs of maintaining the property. To increase earnings, foreign investors buy vacation rental properties. Thus, they earn a fixed income with the rent paid in dollars.
hedge funds
This application is usually composed of various assets such as shares, foreign exchange, government bonds or fixed income, for example. To ensure satisfactory profitability, this fund is managed by a specialized manager. Some hedge funds, such as XP Macro, include shares of US companies in their portfolio. But of course, this type of application is suitable for investors with a bold or moderate profile.
american franchises
Undertaking is a risky alternative but it can generate a high income. North American franchises are a great option to reduce risks and succeed in the country. This business model offers advantages such as a business plan, business advice and a well-known brand in the United States. It is necessary to make an initial investment to buy the franchise. After opening, the franchisee pays the business royalties annually.
Application in the EB5 program
The EB5 program encourages the inflow of foreign capital to open companies in the United States. To gain access, the investor must make an initial contribution of US$500,000 to their new business or project. It must present a business plan that guarantees the generation of at least
10 jobs in the country. The EB5 guarantees the permanence of the investor and their families (wife and children) in the country, being able to live, work and study in the United States.
REAL ESTATE LAW
REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
Buying, selling and/or financing a property in the US may seem like an easy task, but it requires knowledge of the relevant legislation. Because, otherwise, it can turn into a nightmare with exorbitant and irreversible financial losses.
real estate wholesale
We seek investment strategy, we advise on the entire negotiation so that you can make profits.
Flipping
We found the property depreciated for investment, we have partnerships with contracts so that renovations can be carried out. We have a partnership with Real Estate so that the resale can be done. House flipping is a very famous type of real estate investment in the United States and which already has many fans in Brazil.
Auction (foreclosure)
The real estate auction market remains super heated. For leisure or investment, do not buy property in the United States before participating in the biggest trip with Brazilian investors and discovering excellent acquisition strategies below market value.
Tax Deed
The term “tax deed” refers to a legal document that grants ownership of a property to a government agency when the owner does not pay any associated property taxes. A tax deed gives the government agency the authority to sell the property to collect the delinquent taxes. Once sold, ownership is then transferred to the buyer. These transactions are called “sales of tax deeds” and are usually carried out at auctions.
