I will definitely check into smaller banks and the network section and hopefully find a solution. 

Are there any stories or solutions to buying a rental property with very little money in the bank? 

@Javier Rosales yes but if you shop around you'll most likely find you won't find anyone else willing to do the same job for even double that rate, which makes me skeptical that this manager is a good long term solution. 

So, If that anecdotal experience proves true I would venture to guess that private money is your only US based funding solution for foreign property.A power play could be to find deals that work on the local loan protocols and be fist-pump excited when you own the thang outright in 5 years!

I am looking for amazing 10+ year Senior CRE Experts, Operators  Syndicators, Brokers ....etc.... to be on the Capital Gains Tax Solutions Podcast (ranked as high as #53 in Itunes.)

What would your ideal solution be?

Solution:  Start with a different property...flip it, reinvest and flip again until you have your cash from the profits ONLY. 

I am open to partnering with like-minded BC investors, so if you are looking at deals and find one slightly out of your price range, perhaps consider me as a possible solution.
