If you're not sure, do a road trip across the state, visit some of these areas and see what 'vibe' fits with you more.

I am a USA citizen and do not have much knowledge or trips to Dubai, but interested in investing in Dubai Real estate. 

Also, you don’t need a business license just to look at properties, but if you buy a bigger property, like a multi-family unit, you might need a certificate of occupancy, depending on the local rules.For business trips, most expenses can be deductible, but if it’s part personal and part business, you can only deduct the business portion.

if you're in St Pete frequently you'll need to turn some of those vacation trips into work trips - networking, building a team, and trying to find a distressed property.but the trick is then going to be moving quickly if either 1) a distressed property hits the MLS (unusual, but not unheard of) or 2) a distressed property comes to you another way (from your network, from a wholesaler.)how you will move quickly enough to lock it down and buy it, if you're in RI? 

If you're getting paid cash for rent get rid of it as fast as you can this way without making needless trips to the bank.

Some people online (I’d be especially wary of prior Quest employees who were long ago let go as well as opportunistic custodian vultures) are being real a**hats & throwing tantrums over that…along with Quincy under the bus.

Suggestions like driving by the houses weekly are silly, such trips serve no legitimate business purpose. 

Early on - maybe the 17-18 minute mark - Clayton gets thrown under the bus.
