Your Complete Investment Roadmap
From First Contact to Passive Income — Every Step Explained
How We Turn Your Vision into Reality
At Costa Calma, we’ve streamlined the entire cross-border property acquisition process into four clear, transparent phases. Each step is managed by our team of OAB-registered attorneys, CRECI-certified brokers, and dedicated investment advisors — so you stay in control from your first consultation call to the moment rental income hits your account.
Every transaction is backed by a rigorous legal framework designed for European investors: Central Bank registration (BACEN), digital notarization (e-Notariado), and a 20-point due diligence checklist.
STEP 01
Selection & Online Consultation
We begin by understanding your investment goals, budget, and risk profile through a personal video consultation. Based on your criteria, we present a curated selection of pre-vetted properties.
- Virtual Property Tours — HD video walkthroughs of every property
- Financial Analysis — Projected ROI, rental yield, and appreciation data
- Market Context — Local demand drivers, tourism data, infrastructure developments
- Budget Planning — Full cost breakdown including taxes, fees, and management costs
Pre-Screening
Every property is pre-screened against our investment criteria before it's presented to you.
Virtual Tours
Can't travel? We provide HD video walkthroughs and live virtual tours via WhatsApp or Zoom.
ROI Projections
Detailed financial projections including seasonal demand curves, management costs, and tax implications.
20-Point Checklist
We verify the Matrícula (Property Deed) against a rigorous checklist of 20+ mandatory documents.
Lien & Debt Check
Full verification that the property is free of liens, debts, tax obligations, or hidden ownership disputes.
BACEN Registration
We register your investment with the Central Bank of Brazil, legally protecting your right to repatriate capital and profits.
STEP 02
Due Diligence & Legal Check
Our OAB-registered attorneys perform a rigorous legal investigation of every property. This is the most critical phase — and the one that separates professional investors from risky buyers.
What we verify:
- Matrícula (Property Deed) — full chain-of-title history
- Tax clearance certificates (IPTU, ITR)
- Environmental compliance (IBAMA)
- Builder/developer financial health (for new developments)
- Zoning and land-use permits
If the history isn’t 100% clean, we don’t proceed.
STEP 03
Digital Closing & Remote Signing
You don’t need to travel to Brazil. Through the e-Notariado platform, you’ll sign the purchase deed (Escritura Pública) via a secure video conference with a licensed Brazilian Notary Public.
The process:
- CPF Registration — We obtain your Brazilian Tax ID on your behalf
- e-CPF Digital Certificate — Your encrypted legal signature in Brazil
- Virtual Notary Session — Identity verification + deed signing via secure video
- Cartório Registration — We handle the physical filing at the Real Estate Registry
You can finalize your investment from London, Budapest, or Berlin with the same legal certainty as if you were standing in a Brazilian registry office.
Digital Identity (e-CPF)
Your encrypted digital certificate serves as your legal signature throughout the entire Brazilian system.
Virtual Notary
The Public Deed is executed via a secure video conference. Your identity is verified in real-time by a licensed notary.
Blockchain-Backed
The e-Notary system uses secure, tamper-proof protocols — ensuring documents are legally binding nationwide.
Cartório Filing
Once signed digitally, we handle the physical registration to ensure your title is officially recorded.
Rental Operations
We list your property on Airbnb, Booking.com, and local premium channels to maximize occupancy year-round.
Maintenance & Upkeep
Regular inspections, cleaning, repairs, and garden maintenance — your property stays in top condition.
Tenant Relations
Guest check-in/out, key management, 24/7 support — we handle everything so you don't have to.
Monthly Reporting
Transparent financial reports with income, expenses, occupancy rates, and net profit — delivered monthly.
STEP 04
Property Management & Passive Income
Once your property is registered at the Cartório, the investment phase begins. We manage the entire rental operation — from listing on global platforms to guest relations and maintenance.
What’s included:
- Professional photography and listing optimization
- Dynamic pricing based on seasonal demand
- Guest screening and check-in/check-out management
- Regular property inspections and preventive maintenance
- Monthly financial statements in EUR and BRL
- Tax filing assistance for rental income
Target: 6–8% net annual rental yield — you enjoy the returns while we handle the daily operations.
“Our priority is your peace of mind. Every transaction is overseen by specialized attorneys (OAB-registered) to ensure your assets are protected under Brazilian Federal Law.”
