U.S citizens living in Albania .

My last two days have been spent doing research on Albania. For Americans I have learned that we can be there for a year without a visa, then leave for 90 days and restart our year again. This is the only country I heard of that has done this for Americans.

So I read online that there is a way to get a residence visa or permit for a year. Has anyone done this successfully ? I know in Italy it says the same thing but it's very unrealistic to try to move to Italy. I would like to know if the process is easy in Albania. I cannot find too much information about expats living there. I only find a few travel blogs regarding the beaches and hospitality of the people there. Has anyone managed to do this and stay there for more than a year?

Second question/concern. Jobs. From what I read there are no jobs. But is it still possible to find a job there? For a native English speaker. I work online, but as a back up plan I'd like to have something to fall back on in case my computer breaks or there isn't internet access for some reason.

Thanks guys!
