@Tijana Flowers-Harris this is certainly a question for your accountant/CPA, but to my knowledge there are no special tax implications for you when you buy or while you own the property.However when you go to sell, if you aren't a resident of RI you may face non-resident withholding of part of the sale proceeds (see Withholding on Sale of Real Property by Nonresidents and/or the non-resident withholding law itself).Also, you should be aware that apart from tax considerations there may be legal considerations for owning property in RI if you live in Mass.For example, you may also need to register as an out of state landlord with the RI secretary of state and possibly the city of Pawtucket as well.So you'd want to ask your attorney about those and any other one-time and ongoing requirements for owning property in RI if you live out of state.

@Geoffrey Flowers It all depends on where the lead is coming from.MLS - I will use an agent or on some properties I will go straight to the listing agent and make the offer through them declining representation.

tenants plant flower, etc in yard10.

@Dagan Flowers I love this topic too!

Not ever seller will value this, but when they think about it some might...and for some it will be a big relief.When I was thinking of buying in Bay area 20 years ago and there might be 70 offers on a property, people got real creative with what they did to woo sellers...flowers, wine, airline tickets, vacation stays, etc. 

I re ran your criteria through our search and taking into consideration your requirements something like 6809 Prairie Flower Trl, Dallas, TX 75227 might better suit your needs and still have to potential for some equity.
