There is a 120,000 bpd refinery in my town of 10,000 people.  A cheap motel is $350/week, and it's a roach motel.  A nice hotel is $600/week, serves breakfast and has a pool.

My rental houses are the equivalent of a nice hotel, with a kitchen and washer/dryer; at the price of a cheap motel.

22 houses, 82 beds.  As I am typing this, 20 of the 22 houses are rented out.

What's not rented out?  A 3 story house with 9 beds, 4 bathrooms, 2 washers, 3 dryers, and 6 cable TV's.  A 2 story house with 5 beds and 2 baths.  Bigger makes more money, but is harder to rent out.
