Mark,

I will shortly send you an e-mail with the details of you itineary
and addresses. There were some positive developments that have
significantly eased the situation. I will also review the prices and
get back to you ASAP.

Thank you,

Boris

hello just tried to call but couldn't get through. could you please send pictures as I am interested in the property. thanks, christopher

Chris,

I am sending you some pictures plus I am going to post some on the group site here.

Regards,

Boris

Boris, hello, just tried to call but you were not home! would like talk live this week if possible. I would like to travel this spring (after Carnival) and take a look at your place and others of course.
have you sent the other pictures? I don't think I've received any. Hope you are doing well. cheers, christopher

Hi Chris,

Try this link

I e-mailed you some pictures, but it may take up to three days forthem to arrive to US from Brazil Just kidding. I put up the e-mailed pictures on the photo board.

I am doing fine, but got a little flu, hence taking it easy for a couple of days. There is a lots of dengue going around. Beaches are crowded with the bodies of the tourists... Some of them are still
moving :))).

Regards,

Boris

I'm having the worst time with these pictures! I tried to open the attachment or whatever and it wouldn't? Could you please try to send them again? I'm sorry for the extra work I know I'm an idiot with
computers but this is crazy! anyway, is the place currently rented? would there be rental opportunities? I would probably stay here myself
4 months per year. anyway I'll wait to hear from you. cheers,
christopher

Chris,

Don't feel bad, I'm supposed to be an expert with
computers and I can't open the pictures either.

MM

Chris,

No problem. I will send you pictures shortly. BTW, have you registered with groups.yahoo.com? This might be the problem.

The place is not currently rented, I am still living here. It will not have any problems to be rented out. To give you an idea, you can rent this great three-bedroom/three-bathroom furnshed oceanview
apartment with maid service for less then semi-****ty hotel room. Considering that you get additional flexibility, no taxes, no surcharges, and discounts for longer stay... You will end up with a
waiting list for the place.

The apartment even with 40% occupancy can generate about 12K per year.

Regards,

Boris

Boris, I take it you're NOT selling the other place--the one you lease out...correct? I'm already making plans for another trip later this year and would love to stay in the apartment again.

Hope you're feeling better

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

HOw are you? No, I am not selling the one-bedroom, it is still available, but if you come before July you'd have to challenge Mark
to a duel

Regards,

Boris

Boris...

I am planning three months at this point....feb, march, april... unless I find a way to make money down there...then of course I will consider longer.

Regards
Mark

Boris, how's life? thanks for limiting the number of emails that I was getting. although I do miss reading all the messages it was becoming a full-time job! any way is this 3 bedroom in Cop cabaña still on the market for $160,000? just curious. what about the new
site when will that be up? cheers, Christopher
p.s. and yes Indiana University lost it's final game to Maryland in the NCAA Final Four so now I'm in deep mourning so I have to visit Rio!

Hi Cris,

THe life is good, thank you. I am heading back home to Rio on Friday ... then life would become even better...

The three bedroom is still on the market, but I am playing passive-aggressive dodging a few active offers. My feeling is that Copa is on the way back up as a top RE location and consequently the prices
are going up significantly, hence I am not in the hurry to sell.

The Web Site is in the works. I was too busy and didn;t get a chance to touch base with Daniel about the status of the project. I am going to get on his case on Saturday.

Sorry about the IU loss... Come grieve with us in Rio

Boris, I was reading your last email about your condo is it the one with the pics on this site. The 160,000 is that dollars or reals? I was hoping to get together when I come down and talk about Rio Real
Estate maybe if a couple places are available I could look at them..
Thanks Brian

Brian,

The condo is in $US here is the link for it
