In terms of getting into apartment complexes and large transactions - it's much easier than you think.Real estate is filled with opportunities to deploy capital, but in the same time is filled with fast-talking snake oil men that will happily take your money towards a "fund" so you own a portion of a large portfolio... only to find out the fund's performance is below par, your money is locked out, and the only person making money is the fund manager from the management fee they've locked you into. 

Following the oil and gas industry is part of what I do with the STRs. 

As a long-time high-level Rentlinx.com user, the journey since Rentlinx.com removed its marketing offering roll it into AppFolio has been an absolute nightmare! I am all ears if anyone can lend some suggestions; how...

- Why does it cost more to change the oil on your car at a dealership versus a quick lube?

If this were my unit I would upgrade that fan to a 5 blade fan that does not need to be oiled, maybe in black.

@Kevin Farrell In my location in New Hampshire it is just common for landlords to pay water, sewer, and heating if it is on oil furnace then factor these costs into the rent for multi families.

I am looking to connect and pair up with investors who are interested in rebuilding a Oil booming town in west texas.

It's the tenant's responsibility to maintain the oil levels.

I have lived in Midland my entire life and feel like I have a good understanding of the bubble this area is in with oil and gas and how it affects home prices.

Doing the math, if a seasoned fix and flipper had a well-oiled efficient process and was able to consistently hit $50k per house (after costs and overhead required to go at that pace), he/she would have to do 34 flips in 21 months to make what we made on one deal.
