I wouldn't mind purchasing a couple and doing up some airbnbs etc. Brazil will always be a tourist destination so it's low risk.
Really considering that nomad visa. Didn't think about settling in Brazil but who knows.

How's the economy doing recently with the worldwide inflation? What about political stability?
While inflation is present, it's not as severe as it would be elsewhere and commodities are still reasonably priced. The political situation is stable for the moment, though it remains to be seen what will happen if Bolsonaro loses or is reelected come end of the year. Hopefully no political turmoil in the future.

What is a good salary in usd per month for a person to survive and thrive on average in Brazil? Does it even out where things are more expensive in different parts of the country/city.
Do you know if there is anything in place to attract remote workers to Brazil etc?
There is a digital nomad visa, but you have to either prove you have 18K USD in the bank or demonstrate that you have an employment contract that pays that much for remote work. I'd say if you want to live comfortably, 1000 USD per month should do.

I've already gotten a bank account set up here. I could work on transferring the money. I could also ATM it to the limit each month. I will return to Trinidad off and on as well, so I can take care of anything in person. Planning on doing some travelling around the US and Europe when things are more settled down as well. Return tickets from here will run you around 1600 TTD to Florida and 2000 TTD to Spain, Portugal or the UK. Even cheaper if I decide to just visit other South American countries, just several hundred dollars. Unironically cheaper to visit the EU or US than to fly back to Trini. Just another reason why I ended up choosing Brazil.

I already have permanent residency here. I can apply for citizenship after two years go by.

In my case it was a bit simpler than most. My wife is Brazilian, so after we got married we just had to submit some documents and have an interview with the Federal Police and they gave me my permit on the same day. For investment, the base threshold for investor visas, be they real estate, business or stocks starts at BRL 125000 ( Around 160000 TTD ). There are also plans for retirees who draw a pension and for certain areas of need such as professors and some other fields. For the latter you'd have to have a working knowledge of Portuguese though. With each one there are varying terms of residency and afterwards you can get citizenship and a passport. You do not have to renounce your Trinidadian citizenship to aquire the Brazilian one.

Online mutual interest group. Another small positive about Brazil is getting access to some brands that have disappeared from Trinidad. Always liked Eno more than Andrew's.
