Check with some local banks in the area and tell them your plan.

You need to look into local community banks and speak with their commercial lenders.

If you are going to stay local and considering a condo, you really have to look at fixer condos and at least 3 bedrooms for it to have potential.

After that, I will re-evaluate every 5 years based on local rent.

And it can be done there locally.When I was active in Jackson there was my company and another called SIF one of the owners was married to a local doctor if I recall. 

Larger families, remote workers, or investors could see it as ideal, especially if local schools or amenities like parks, dining, or entertainment are strong.

If local deals aren’t working, try out-of-state markets or connect with local investors for fresh ideas.

@Lily Jensen, I've come across a few banks that will do HELOC's for investment properties that I can share with you here locally in Florida.

Then you may shop in that price range.Tip: check with your local credit union: they will consistently have better rates and often the underwriting of loans is done locally.Mike

Citibank, ScotiaBank.Maybe you could have him setup an account at one of those and just deposit from a local branch in the US.ScotiaBank has some pretty good international accounts with free transfers.
