Brazil is the future, and Minas Gerais is the reason.  

Pregnant with gold, diamonds, precious minerals and gemstones of every sort, with an enormous wealth of agriculture and industry and bolstered for the first time in recent history by an incredibly durable currency, Minas Gerais, the commodity packed foundation of the Brazilian economy, is the answer to today’s anxiety ridden question, “where is value?” 

Uniquely boasting national energy independence, a huge national surplus, investment grade national bonds which continue to be upgraded by ratings agencies even as the world slips deeper into economic crisis, 14 percent of the world’s usable water supply (90 percent more than any other nation), and with the capital, Belo Horizonte, considered by the United Nations as having the best quality of life of all the major Latin American cities…all this while situated on a treasure trove of mineral and agricultural commodities, the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais calms the anxieties of the worst pessimists.  For those optimistic about a quick recovery for the global economy, a red hot Brazilian stock market doubling in value in the last six months, benefiting from well educated, inexpensive labor, and cheap energy and materials clearly demonstrates that real estate in Minas is an all weather investment.
