Try to get a job first.
I suggest you contact American companies instaled in Brazil, may be it can be easier for you.
Examples:
IBM, DELL, HP, APPLE, GM, FORD, etc...
But unfortunatelly they are usually far away from nice cities with nice landscapes, beaches, etc..

CearÃ¡ is a poor state, with beutiful beaches and places to visit, but it might not be the best place to live.

Try Florianopolis, look it up on google.

Also, try to learn a bit of Portuguese, the language is similar to spanish, but a little more difficult

the people will not hate you here, all inteligent people know that ex-president Bush, does not translate how ALL americans are!

I worked with several americans at IBM, and most of them seemed very nice, wanted to learn a bit more about the culture, travel around, get to know the good part of Brazil.
Sure, there were others that didn't look interested at all, seemed in a hurry to go back home, and had a snob look on their face, but really one or other. most were pretty nice.

good luck!

Dude, you must have courage to live in a country with the language for as diverse as Brazil.
I moved to Brazil is a long time, I married a Brazilian, I have 4 children Brazilians.
Don't come without knowing the language.Portuguese's much more difficult than you imagine.
Don't come without a temporary place to live. Don't come without a job.
You will not borrow money in banks.Dude, is very expensive live in Ceara.
As the price of the property, separated from this link to you search.

You can try a job as a teacher of English, for starters.

Good Lucky, dude

First you have to get a job, you won't get the Brazilian citizenship if it doesn't prove that can stay financially in Brazil. The second and also very important it is to learn speak Portuguese. Brazilian bank to give credit it is very difficult, for us Brazilian it is difficult to get a loan. You can ask for a loan in U.S.A. but the payment is made in dollars and not in Real if the Brazilian coin to be depreciate you will have problems to paying the loan. As for safety's problem for the fact to you be American, it is not problem the only inconvenience is that you will be called of gringo. I don't know the price of the house in CearÃ¡, but in Rio de Janeiro with certainty is much more expensive. I admire your courage in changing for a country of which you don't have affectionate bows. Try to get a job in a hotel in CearÃ¡, even if is not for you to be in that job for a long time you will know the place before establishing indeed.

In Brazil a man with 26 years is already married and father of at least a son, you are an adult.

Jeez, what the hell do you want to do in CearÃ¡? Hahaha!!

Come to GoiÃ¢nia, it's the best place to live because we're very calm people and our city is suitable for everybody, it's not so lazy as in CearÃ¡ and not so busy like in Rio and SP, my english teacher is from Britain, he's moved to Goiania 6 years ago and he says he'd never go back to England and would never leave GoiÃ¢nia to another city here..

But you're american, people here hm or they loooooooooooooove you or they haaaate you for being american, but we are likely to love you, because it's not always that we've got GRINGOS around here so we really like to know about your culture and learn english....

Look, buses here suck ,they're expensive, 2 reais or something each time you step in the bus.. school? hmm, we have free schools but they suck, the students just learn badly the subjects and they throw papers at the teachers..

But you should learn our language, we would not understand you here if you don't speak Port.
