You'll definitely want to do your own shopping and due diligence.There is a lot more to this and you'll definitely want to invest time and resources to creating and improving your internal systems.

I’ve been looking into RETA deals (Real Estate Trend Alert) from International Living.

Hi, I'm Didi, an out-of-state investor looking to expand my international portfolio in Louisville.I think Louisville is a great city and has tremendous potential. 

In exchange, I’d be able to be sort of an intern or someone to help with boots on the ground here in AZ.  

The Internal Rate of Return is just under 12% and cap rate and 6.52%.

Looking forward to legal advice for LLC opening. any referrals who have experience with international investors? 

I didn't do an exhaustive search, so this location is just an example.I'm considering either Reno or Las Vegas, but Las Vegas looks like a better location for this, since it has more direct flights to other international airports, and has more visitors to generate STR income.
