Add a very diversified economy here with banking, insurance, oil and gas, education, three medical schools, 3 law schools, life sciences, DFW airport, and so much more, it looks like the growth just goes on and on.As far as appreciation goes, that's always tough to predict. 

Irony of your analogy is that oil and gas production needs to drill many holes to succeed. 

Law enforcement is now targeting third parties involved in “cooking the books” that “force by fraud” qualify clients for Covid-19 relief.

This was the most high risk investment I've ever seen, and keep in mind I've done oil, gas & mineral exploration investments so that's really saying something. 

Beside RE, am also interested in gas/oil.

I might use an oil or shellac based primer on that spot before repainting to be more certain of good adhesion. 

Rail roads he has got that covered.  ...and restaurants (Dairy Queen), and the Beverage Industry (Coke), and Oil & Gas (Suncor Energy), etc., etc., etc.The other side of the coin is he also missed the .com bubble burst in the late 80's.I tend to feel the same way...if you're going to invest, then invest in something you know.  

You find the house completely trashed with missing appliances and cabinets, tenants were cooking meth, windows broken, etc. 6-8 months of unpaid rent, unpaid utilities, thousands to empty the abandoned property and trash, $50,000 to completely renovate the property and make it rentable again, plus all the time, energy, and stress along the way.I would actually argue this is pretty common and not even the worst-case scenario. 

I am confident that “Drill Baby Drill” (aka reducing the price of oil, aka reducing everything that is transported) will directly impact the cost of goods thus increasing tenants and buyers purchasing power.

(I am usually lazy about courses and pick + choose my engagement) This feels very different from most things I have "tried" to work on in life (except for when I turned to RSD and Owen Cook a out 13 years ago to improve my dating life which resulted in finding/ attracting and marrying the girl of my dreams!
