Everything you need to buy, hold, and exit
Each property report covers the full lifecycle — from foreign-ownership rules to repatriating proceeds on exit. No section skipped.
Foreign-ownership rules
What foreigners can hold — freehold, leasehold, SPV, or restricted — by jurisdiction and asset type.
Due diligence report
Title chain, encumbrances, planning status, surveys, and counter-party checks before any funds move.
Acquisition tax
Stamp duty, transfer tax, ITBI, SDLT surcharges, FIRPTA — modelled into landed cost.
Holding & rental tax
Annual property tax, rental income tax, withholding, and ongoing local charges.
Yield & cash-flow modelling
Realistic gross and net yields by city and submarket — with vacancy, management, and FX assumed.
Title perfection & registration
Notary deeds, Lands Commission, Cartório, Governor's Consent — what 'registered' actually means in each market.
FX & capital repatriation
CCI in Nigeria, BCB registration in Brazil, GIPC in Ghana, US wire compliance — how to get money out cleanly.

CGT, FIRPTA, 60-day reporting, BRL/NGN volatility — modelled before you commit.
Risk register
Title fraud, omo onile, double-allocation, FX controls, planning risk — scored and mitigated.

Foreigners hold leasehold rather than freehold. Title verification at the Lands Commission is essential.
Foreigners limited to 50-yr renewable leasehold · Lands Commission registration essential · GIPC for repatriation
Foreigners can own urban property freely with a CPF — rural and border-zone land is restricted. BRL volatility and Central Bank registration drive structuring.
CPF required · rural & border-zone land restricted · BCB foreign-capital registration drives repatriation
