I think another trick is, can you get a mortgage or is it an all cash deal?

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? 

I would be happy to connect with other investors in the area to share tips and tricks.
