Definitely find a CPA who is well-versed in the internal revenue code to help you out.

While you likely won't find properties that fit the 2% rule in the Boston area, you will likely have a higher internal rate of return on the properties there than where the 2% properties are located.

Anthony Dianaty at Sotheby's International Realty said his has 8% money. 

Also Grandview areas around the International House of Prayer.  

Why I need 10% on loan A versus 12% on loan B will always be an internal investor/bidder discretion.  

Also you can get free business cards and hit reia groups and real estate offices looking for flippers or other intern type opportunities.

Anyone have any suggestion for international skip tracing?

Or, work in something that doesn't require large amounts of cash (e.g. wholesaling, bird-dogging, sub-2, intern for a flipper, etc.). 

Those are specifically listed in the International Codes.

As international travel, cruises, and airline restrictions loosen people will start taking those vacation options.
