Large-Scale"Minha Casa Minha Vida" Project in Natal/North-East Brazil

213 hectare land parcel for "minha casa minha vida" homes in Natal/North-East Brazil.
Prime development land for sale/partnership in Natal/North-East Brazil


 600-6000 plots/homes to develop on site.
Parnamirim is the third largest urban center in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, with a population of 300,000 inhabitants.
This huge area of ​​land is located in a newly expanded part of town next to a large housing estate of more than 2,000 lots and homes (Campestres City)

                                    
The area is ideal for the construction of affordable housing (within the profile of the Minha Casa Minha Vida government program) and small residential lots for low-income families,and has existing infrastructure on the land borders.
The owner would like to sell the whole area or segments of 20 + hectares for 25reals per m2 and would also consider a partnership with a developer / investor group.This would involve a down payment of R$1.5 million reals plus 30% of the plots developed or 18% of houses built.
                                   

A 10 hectare parcel can yield approximately 300 plots(10x20mts).Plots next door are selling for 35,000reals.Here is a link to the smaller development alongside the parcel    ;http://paivagomes.com.br/hotsites/loteamento_parque_das_paineiras/
We offer land for sale / partnership in the outer districts and suburbs of Natal with large catchment areas, on main roads with direct access and a short trip to the city.
These areas can be;
1.for residential condominiums (middle class AC)
2.subdivided into smaller residential lots for re-sale
3.for popular housing for Brazilian low-income families, with government support, through the "Minha Casa Minha Vida" program.
4.high rise apartments forming large residential complexes (1,000+ units).

If the string of shallow coral reefs that grace Natal’s gorgeous, sandy coastline could be called a necklace, then Maracajaú Reef is its biggest, most beautiful jewel.

Minha Casa Minha Vida; Building affordable homes in N.E Brazil 2015; Process,profits and pitfalls explained

Minha Casa Minha Vida; Building affordable homes in N.E Brazil 2015
            Process,profits and pitfalls explained


I am the administrator and partner for 2 brazilian companies here in Natal/RN that were formed in 2013.
Our respective companies have 9 foreign investors from Europe and Australia.My job is to find realestate opportunities in the local brazilian market and apply our capital.This year we embarked on our first house building projects in a town just outside of Natal(the capital of Rio Grande do Norte,in the North-East of brazil)
We purchased an area comprising of 53 residential plots,4kms from the town center,installed the power lines,water supply and road and contracted a local builder to start  the construction of 5 homes in January last year.
The homes consist of 2 bedrooms,bathroom,open planned kitchen/living area with front/back yard(200m2 landplot)Click on these 2 links to see a short walk through video of one of our Minha Casa Minha Vida homes plus drone imagery from above;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqoQkCVQ9DY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IfslUV6mfY
These first 5 homes were built in 4 months and found first-time brazilian buyers in a matter of 2-3 weeks through a network of local agents.The families moving in come mostly from rental accomodation in the poorer sections of Natal city.

The 1rst sales cycle from planning permission/house build/selling/processing the paperwork through the national bank was completed last month and so took 8 months.We have since started(in May 2014)2 new batches of homes,a total of 36(50%sold 2 months into construction) The returns work out at around 25,000reals/40% per home after all taxes/paperwork and commission is paid.

The benefits of the this type of investment are compounded by the speed of the sales process.You can basically build any number of homes,sell,receive funds and re-invest to double your number within a year.The process is the same,the profits multiply.This systematic process and profit margin is predicated on several very importantant factors; 
-)Ability to buy cheap land.That’s where the profit lies as construction prices per m2 are fairly stable.
-)Need for a good construction company to develop your homes
-)Need for a competent dispatcher to facilitate the necessary paperwork for local government.
-)Good relations with bank personel to facilitate the payments.
I know other investors,both brazilian and foreign who have bought land at a price that squeezes the bottom line,others that have had to dispense with their building contrators during construction and others who have had major problems with getting funds released from the bank due to lack of paperwork,building irregularities etc 

I am very happy to say that we have not experienced any of these types of difficulties so far.The most suprising thing has been the level of demand..the homes we sell are slightly below our competitors at 85,000reals.They have sold with ease.The buyers receive a brand new home with a nice little garden and reliable utility services at a subsidised price(20% granted by the government) and pay off their mortgage over a 35 year period at preferencial interest rates. We as the developer,generate employment for 30 brazilian construction workers,provide a good quality home for a family in need and bank a 40% profit.
Our company have made other investments in landbanking and we bought a large piece of land on the beachfront for a gated community so we have diversified our portfollio for any/all eventualities.
However I have to say that the Minha Casa Minha Vida program has been a major success here(in this region)in both addressing the housing shortage for low-income families and allowing companies such as ours to benefit in making it happen.
Since writing this article we have purchased a large area of land in the same town of Extremoz and we are in the process of licensing a project for 248 homes(you can see video presentation of this project on the video links below)We aim to build a minimum of 100 homes in 2015;

Please feel free to contact me about any aspects of this investment.I would also be interested to hear about your experiences as fellow foreign developers/investors in this field.
