Help!!!!! I'm in a simialr boat!!!

Brazil: African Americans in Brazil:

There is a concept that in Brazil everyone is treated equal.... I've been going there for the last 5 years and brother let me tell you that it's not true. to belabour the point. Blacks there have been locked out of the financial market. As evidence by answering the following. What portion of land under black ownership What portion of private companies are under black management what is the distribution of directorships/ P&L responsibility of public companies are under black management What portion of government offices/budgets are under black management Once you look at these numbers you’ll see that Brazil is no paradise for blacks AT ALL. They have been effectively locked out and most of Brazil likes it that way.. What will get you around their racism is your Americanism.....but only so far. It took me four months in Fortaleza to find any blacks presences of note..... I plan to move to Brazil and start business to help lift those people out of their squalor. When they like you they don’t hold back…. When they don’t like you they don’t hold back….. Each time I go I get a new deeper appreciation of Dr. MLK.

Brazil: Looking for a job in Brazil:

You must understand that Brazil does not have a secondary credit market. The good is that they didn't suffer the spanking the USA/Europe got.  The bad is without the ability to bundle and syndicate loans means that outside of a "popanca"  you buy your house with the money you have in hand.    Additionally, since Europeans were the masters and the Afros slaves.  When the slaves were set free they owned no land and could not call back to the “mother land” for investors. Europeans however, could go back to Germany, France, Italy etc to attract investors who would buy land from the “masters”.   Real Estate law and land rights in Brazil look nothing like that of the USA… so it’s like starting over from scratch.   Try import/export or something that have less government involvement. Brazil is slowed by government bureaucracy,  corruption and no credit market (as you know it). To the extent that you can avoid these things the better off you will be – with regard to “cash flow” velocity.
