I've had a career in engineering, banking, international insurance and real estate investing and loved all of it.

Partner Driven financed the Hiawatha Way deal by utilizing internal capital resources.

Consult local banks or international lenders for details.

Thousands of investors nationally and internationally, not from the South, see the growth, economic advancement, and solid fundamentals, and see the opportunity in Multi-Family without considering inventory available in these cities.

If they wanted there own separate stand alone appfolio, so it's segregated data to them, ok solved data privacy but why not internalize PM's than? 

I even called a city inspector who had been through the house and got an idea of internal condition. 

That said, "chickens coming home to roost" from the various seller-financing deals done WRONG is a very strong potentiality, as issues of such will most likely grow in occurrence and thus possibly press internal audit's that uncover such, and resulting enforcement actions start enacting in a volume.

Can anyone point me to the best US based resource either private or commercial that does loans for international real estate purchases?

I now am an International Real Estate Mogul.  

When it comes to business rules such as those, the states often have different definitions for tax to fall more in-line with the internal revenue code.
