LOCATE, NEGOTIATE, DEVELOP, MANAGE, AND SELL PROPERTY IN BRAZIL.

B.T.I.’s primary goal is to introduce you to this amazing country through a simple vacation. The truly great thing about introducing you in this manner is that it allows you to make an un-pressured informed decision about the country before investing in it. You have the opportunity to experience Brazil and, if so motivated, you have the opportunity to profit from an investment in Brazilian real estate. B.T.I.’s goal is to take the fear out of investing in Brazil by providing the necessary team and structure to facilitate a smooth real estate purchase.

Although Brazil is such an amazing place that it almost sells itself, there are always questions when money is involved. It is not a simple situation to buy land in Brazil; it requires a basic understanding of the system. Unlike other foreign countries a foreigner can own land or real estate in Brazil, it just requires a little time and due diligence.
