Parati (also sometimes spelled Paraty) is a small town along the province of Rio de Janeiro’s green coast. The town is home to about 36,000 people, and has gained popularity with tourists in recent years. The town’s beautiful historic district, coastline and tropical forests give visitors plenty of activities to enjoy. Brazil’s weather is beautiful all year round, and their cost of living is significantly lower than in the US.

The cost of living in Brazil is quite low compared to Europe and the US as well, making it the perfect place to retire or own a second home.
Buying real estate in Parati, or any other part of Brazil, is open to foreigners, but can take some time. Foreigners will need to apply for a CPF card before you can buy property, and you will need a Brazilian address where the government can send your CPF card. It usually takes about two months to receive your CPF card, so it’s best not to get your heart set on a particular piece of property before this step is complete. While you’re waiting, rent an apartment or cottage and get to know the town before you buy.

If you need a mortgage, you’d be wise to obtain it in your home country, since Brazilian banks charge much higher interest rates. Your realtor can help you navigate the buying process, from applying for your CPF card to locating the right property and closing on the deal.
