I can find you something for oh, $1M or maybe less. Will that meet your
budget?

Is that the best you can do? If yes, you have to move in all by
yourself.

While we're on the topic of what's the best someone can do...

Is spamming newsgroups your idea of a good way of locating properties?

You've narrowed your search down to about a quarter MILLION miles of
area. That doesn't really help. You'll have no way of evaluating
these remote properties without personally visiting them. The little
tidbits you chose to share, while neglecting to mention anything about
your price range, isn't likely to be taken seriously by a business
person, or by anyone without some time to waste tossing out a flyer
email to you.

Your search technique needs some tweaking. There are hundreds of local
bulletin boards, online classifieds and web sites that target
particular areas. Those would be a better choice, not newsgroups that
are international.
