I searched for homes based on the mortgage I could afford.

Do any of these services do a residency search outside this country?

Good luck with your search!

I'd start by refining your search criteria, researching the surrounding markets, and comparing them to what best fits your needs, etc. 

@Mario Morales - Personally, I would do some research in your target market and search (even it on zillow) for 2-4 family properties and see what agent(s) seem to transact the most in that space.

And before getting too far along in the process it might be worth doing a title search to check on any potential liens on the property.

Creating Google Slides pitch deck, or 2.

Have you taken the time to search AirBNB and VRBO in those specific areas to see how many STRs are operating?

Close to a cool little town, close to an area attraction, etc....Also do a search here and see how to screen guests, in addition to what the hosting sites do.... like no last minute bookings, no short stays....
