Property investment in Brazil ranks second in the world for capital appreciation, according to the latest survey released by the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate, AFIRE. Trailing the US, Brazil has entered the AFIRE top 10 capital appreciation investment destinations for the first time.

AFIRE, was created in 1988, and has established itself as a respected voice of the foreign property investment industry in the US. Known globally for its annual foreign investment survey, AFIRE has for the first time conducted a mid-year survey among its members. This unusual step was considered necessary because of the huge recent changes in the world. AFIRE was smart to gauge any changes in foreign investor sentiments.

The survey discovered some interesting findings, particularly when it comes to Brazilian property investment. While the Q4 2008 survey found that China was close on the heels of the US in the capital appreciation rankings, however the latest survey noted that China has dropped sharply in the top ten and its coveted second place has been secured by Brazil.

With the brief history of foreign investment in Brazil property, it's really not surprising that Brazil has not featured earlier in the AFIRE top ten destinations for capital appreciation. Savvy, foreign investors have been quick to realize the exceptional potential provided by this wealthy South American country. Brazil boasts several prime areas for foreign direct investment including north east Brazil. In this region, luxury real estate is priced well below the price of what you would expect to pay in an equivalent resort in Europe.

As of recent, no official statistics are published about Brazil real estate. However, savvy investors who pioneered the market early on have already received excellent capital appreciation and judging by the facts expressed in the AFIRE survey, Brazil is going to remain a hot property for a while.

Brazil's property capital appreciation trends are a welcomed change to many countries. As those with overseas property investment portfolios are only too aware that real estate investment overseas has plummeted over the last 18 months.

At a time when most developed nations are struggling with recession and financial crises, Brazil has tipped, along with two of the other BRIC nations, China and India, to pull the world out of the current recession. Brazil has a stable financial sector, a booming stock market and a middle class that is growing. Brazil is well positioned to emerge as a economic leader. Small wonder that AFIRE investors rank Brazil second for capital appreciation when it comes to foreign direct investment.
