Hi BP community! 

 I have been looking at properties in FSJ and it seems to perfect. The prices to purchase are low and the rents are high but as with most things, if it seems to good to be true then it usually is. I would really like to find someone who has any experience with that area and could offer up some info about what to watch out for.

I am optimistic that the energy sector is going to get its support from the rest of the country one day. 

If you are able to find a property that cash flows and performs in a poor market you will definitely reap the benefits once the economy turns around. 

FSJ has a lot of infrastructure and development / pipelines that will not be going anywhere for a very long time so there will always be a need for maintenance services and people to live in the area. 

It’s a buyers market just be sure you buy it right ! 

Good luck, I hope you can make something work!
