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.

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

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.

I recommend posting in the classified sections of BP or joining local FB groups to try and find local flippers in that market! 

I'd recommend finding local meetups as your next step. 

I know some mentioned about developing banking relationships and I totally agree with that, so here is what you do. 1) Open a business checking account in the name of your LLC to hold the assets. 2) Deposit your cash into that account to fund the real estate purchases3) After owning for 60-90 days, talk with a local lender about a line of credit against the 2 properties at 60% LTV. 4) After about 30-45 days, have the line open to use if you need that liquidity that you used, but until then you are not paying 7% interest on nothing. 

Its hotel law not landlord law.Check your local laws about this.

Quote from @Frank Chin: @Matthew SpiegelSome years back, I used to go to the local building or planning departments, and get the information from the local offices directly.

In any event, better communication could have been had to keep you in the know!
