Most of us work with foreign and local RE investors across multiple States. 

@Andrew BrownI'm in the Reno Tahoe, Nevada market and we have tools that rate every property in our local market for cash flow potential.

So I started trying to get creative on how to create a win-win-win for all.Here’s how it went down:I got the sellers to agree to an asking price of $180k, a full $40k over what they originally wanted.In the offer, we included a seller credit of $34k.This strategy allowed me to cover the extra commission for both the buying and selling agents and ensure the seller got exactly the cash they wanted should they have sold it at 140k.With the seller credit, this reduced my total out-of-pocket expense to just $6k.I used a commercial DSCR loan product with a local bank.

Figure out what kind/price property you want to to look at then ask a local lender who to make that work.

As for the other recommendations suggested, I would have suggested the start with one unit but I would defer to local expertise and therefore fear @Jim K. is likely correct.  

I also host a local real estate meetup in Worcester if you want to connect before hand.
