That sounds publishable as a provisional July 2026 note, not a São Paulo index. The headline should retain 88 days, -5.9% asking-price movement and the R$5,572,000 observation only with their definitions visible. A versioned contribution table would let the thread improve without rewriting its...

Practical next step: rebuild three cases—full expected rent, an extended vacancy during turnover, and a year combining vacancy with the larger repair. Add financing only after each case works before debt. Then replace estimated tax, insurance, management and reserve entries with...

The expected rent deserves as much scrutiny as the expenses. Is R$36,920 based on an existing tenancy, comparable asking rents, or completed leases? A small rent overestimate compounds every year in the model. I’d also push back on choosing a universal acceptable net yield. The required return...

I would take a short pause to organize the file, then relist without changing the price automatically. The failed financing does not establish that R$2,408,000 is wrong. Compare it with completed sales rather than current asking prices, and require clearer evidence that the next buyer can...

Would price per square metre help identify the ambitious listings? It would not replace condition or exact location, but it could show whether the long-lived properties were simply positioned above nearby alternatives in the same broad segment.

A practical comparison brief could therefore have four sections: property and access details; required date and response deadline; image quantity, format and intended use; and a fee breakdown with exclusions. After that, confirm credentials, insurance where relevant, conflicts, cancellation or...

I’ve now requested the full financial and maintenance statement, which has raised a more basic question: will the documents make these two properties genuinely comparable? One is a 120 m² studio in Rio de Janeiro and the other is a similarly priced warehouse. The studio may require less direct...

Those are usually two separate ideas: “as-is” signals that the seller is not promising repairs, while an inspection contingency may still give the buyer a stated route to cancel. Asking questions is not the same as demanding repairs. A credit is more debatable because the seller may view it as...

Nine days is the figure making this difficult to read. In August 2024 I tracked a narrow set of Rio de Janeiro apartments listed from R$4,771,000 to R$7,157,000. More properties are coming onto the market, but few meet my buying criteria, and property tax has more influence on the numbers than...
