Brazil is one of the few countries with a massive, self-sustaining economy. powered by a population of over 200 million, one region in particular continues to stand out. In the Northeast, growth is now outpacing the national average, driving demand for higher-quality beachfront living that still hasn’t been fully met.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by our trusted partner in Brazil, Michael Kruger, to break down what’s happening on the ground and how this shift is creating a new type of opportunity along the coast. We also walk through a beachfront, resort-style development built to meet that growing demand.

In today’s episode, we pick up where we left off with my friend and business partner, Fernando de Cevallos, for a live Q&A session about the transformation happening inside Paraguay’s most important region.

This discussion followed the special live presentation we hosted for hundreds of members of the Expat Money Community. We cover everything from expected net returns and capital appreciation expectations to the development timeline… and, of course, we discuss the ownership benefits that extend beyond the financial side of things. 

Enjoy today’s episode!

IN TODAY’S EPISODE

• Why the “Madrid” comparison matters: it’s not about bragging rights, it’s about the finishing that pulls high-quality tenants and strengthens demand
• The two exit paths almost every investor ignores (and why the wrong one can trap your capital longer than you planned)
• How this region of Paraguay fits into a larger economic story, why it’s a magnet for jobs, services, and growing businesses
• The difference between just buying “a unit” and buying into a micro-market, and why a micro-market is where the REAL money is made…
• How the benefits thatdon’tshow up on a spreadsheet are the ones that actually drive the long-term value we all seek

The post 396: Paraguay: Where Capital is Clustering & Fortunes Are Being Made – Part 2 appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Fernando de Cevallos, my friend and business partner, and one of the key people behind a decade-plus development surge in one of the country’s most strategic regions. He’s been in the middle of the transformation while everyone else was busy “discovering” it after the fact… and now he’s rolling out a project in Paraguay that doesn’t look anything like what’d you’d expect in the “developing world”. 

If you didn’t know where it was, you’d swear you were looking at something built for downtown Madrid, not Paraguay. We dig into the economic thesis: why this location, why this timing, and why this model… and we unpack the parallels between overlooked markets that got written off… right up until they turned into serious wealth engines and global-tier cities.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE

• The unsexy fundamentals behind Paraguay’s growth (the kind that actually holds), and what that means if you’re building a Plan-B for your family and looking for asymmetric upside as an investor. 
• Why the capital isn’t being put “everywhere” it’s being funnelled into one tiny cluster,  and how to spot the exact zones where new roads, utilities, and services force prices and rents upwards.
• The demand engine most people miss: trade tailwinds + sustained population growth, bringing in a steady stream of buyers, renters, and businesses that keep this corner of the market liquid.
• How the smart money is positioning before the headlines, what they’re buying, how they structure deals, and how you can get in without needing a million dollars in spare cash to do so.
• If you want a clear, boots-on-the-ground playbook for where Paraguay is actually moving, and how to position your family and capital BEFORE the crowds show up, then this conversation gives you the map, the logic, and the real world-signals to follow.

I’ve been travelling the world for 25 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that freedom doesn’t just come from your passport; it comes from how you use it. Along the way, I’ve made every mistake imaginable—lost money, trusted the wrong people, and learned the hard way what real freedom actually costs. 

In today’s episode, I sit down with Keith Borie to share my story of how I went from being a dyslexic kid in Canada to owning property in ten countries and helping clients do the same. I delve into cash-flowing real estate, legal tax mitigation, and wealth protection strategies employed by myself and my clients. This isn’t about theory; it’s about what’s working right now.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE:

• Listen in to learn how I grew from a dyslexic school dropout to a global investor with properties in 10+ countries
• Tune in to hear why cash-flowing international real estate beats speculating in the stock market or crypto hype
• Find out why Paraguay and Colombia are emerging as frontier markets for serious investors.
• Learn how to build a diversified international portfolio with both short- and long-term rentals
