I am retired Army " bad injury" and retired from teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

He is Brazilian and fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

If you want to go a little more, but not a total remodel then maybe put cedar shakes or the curvy barnwood planking on the outside to make them look more like cabins than old ski chalets, or do log siding. 

We will be having businesses deals in other states and in Brazil as well, so, the location right now of the house is strategically being chosen based on its financial outcome.Throughout the US and in Brazil, a lot of Brazilian investors are inclined to buy in Florida, so we want to connect these investors to the properties in Florida!

Florida, for example, is a market very desired by Brazilians, but the values are way higher than Texas. 

I'm constantly thinking about work/life balance and with family, fitness journeys (things like marathons, Brazilian jujitsu, gym, you name it lol) and my different businesses it really feels like I'm burning the candle from both ends and constantly saying this quote from Bilbo Baggins "I’m old, Gandalf.

hi,I opened a business in the USA in 2017 to sell fishing trips to the Brazilian Amazon intermediating the best outfitters. 

Lubbock is pretty flat and straight, so I may wait until I end up somewhere a little more curvy lol.100% agree on the student renters, I am lucky enough to have only gotten Tech grads so far and everything has worked out great.

Kitchen is amazing with Brazilian granite counter tops, travertine back splash, hardwood york chocolate 42" cabinets etc

@Joseph Kline my Brazilian wife and I have had nothing but miserable experiences with real estate in Brazil.
