We have heard many arguments as to which is the better investment: Real Estate Investing in Rio de Janeiro or Forex Trading. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, there are several aspects of each that make them unique investments in their own way. To make money with either investment requires that you understand the positives and negatives of both.

With Forex you don’t need as much capital to start. You can trade with little capital and increase your leverage. It’s very convenient allowing you to trade from the comfort of your home. Also very liquid. You can enter and exit trades in seconds. Profitability can be also be very good however trading Forex or Stocks is very challenging. More than 95% of Forex traders are not profitable. Pulling profits is not easy and requires immense experience as well as a strong mindset to follow your trading plan which is where almost everyone fails.

With real estate investing in Rio de Janeiro, profits are almost guaranteed. Of course nothing in the investing world is guaranteed but when you have the ability to purchase foreclosed properties at 50% of market value, you greatly increase your chances of success. Where in the Forex market can you buy a currency pair 50% below market value?

The downside to real estate as compared to Forex will be capital and liquidity. Your purchase will take 6 to 8 months to process and then the sale could take another month or two. Also, you will need sufficient capital to buy the foreclosure property as all purchases must be paid in full at auction. A positive side is that the time required by you is small. You don’t need to be in front of the trading screen everyday making trades in Forex or Stocks. And when you employ the services of Rio Leilões, they will do most of the work for you. When looking ant potential yearly profits of 25 to 50% with real estate investing in Rio de Janeiro, it can be well worth the investment.
