Focus on building trust and positive synergy. 

Work on my (horrible) Spanish and (non-existent) Portuguese.

there is huge money in the trades.. you just need to be able to speak fluent Spanish and you can kill it. far more than you would buy 200 a month rentals.

I have a lorn term goal of becoming fluent in Spanish but really didn’t know how to measure it.

If the pandemic is defeated, we should borrow a leaf from the roaring 20s (post the Spanish flu) as an example and see how things rolled there.

No soaring dreams of greatness for us -- what we seek is a synergy of your spiritual and economic well-being all in a reconstituted frame of mind that allows for controlled money management.

When the Spanish flu hit, the government did not shut down; not even when the second round hit.

My husband is a piano professor and I'm an English teacher to Spanish kids and adults. 

My spanish gets better weekly lol.However, this same house we just rented.

Took me months and I got lucky with meeting someone with a business there who got it done for me.If you don't speak fluent Spanish, it's hard to live there.
