For example, if you graduated with a 4-year degree in Petroleum Engineering and have been working at Exxon-Mobile for the past 9 months, the underwriting guidelines should say that is acceptable.Also, typical bank loans require down-payments.

Hmm)Really not surprised that Exxon is making record revenues, seems pretty obvious that they would be. 

Exxon will be building the largest refinery in the world about 2 hours from me.

I would think for example partnering with Exxon or BP, developing some kind of product or service OR partnering with a small company and selling the product or service to them will yield a massive amount of revenue and profit for that person(LLC or Corp) running their business.

Expect the new Texas 2021 Sustainable economy to take up all the slack as companies like EXXON and Oil industry go bust in the next 4 years. your Rents and appreciation should Grow in Texas as relocated Californians drive up demand.

I’ve been looking in the energy corridor to the west, Spring near Exxon, and to the south in good school districts and near the Medical Center.My main concerns are buying where there is saturated supply (I’ve steered clear of Houston proper) and buying somewhere in which people generally buy homes that lacks a good renter pool.

They'll probably do okay, like a GE or Exxon or Coca Cola usually does...
