I am a gold miner and even from the California Gold Rush days, they have been saying that "the way to make money gold mining is to not to mine the gold, but, to mine the gold miners." 

Transitioning from the Oil and Gas industry and looking to network and make some solid contacts here in Amarillo.

A good example is to look at the oil boom and somewhat of a bust in North Dakota.

But quite frankly, I am sick and tired of the snake oil salesman and garbage this industry attracts.For starters, wholesaling a property can work to the benefit of all parties involved.  

$18,000 was the amount I wanted the foreclosing "bank" (it was actually an oil company) to pay me as a settlement in order to not contest their redemption rights.  

They have a very compelling chart in their marketing deck that shows oil going from $100 barrel to $50 barrel and the impact on class A apts and class B/C that they own.

Thanks Account Closed @Vikas Raoot, an opinion from an apartment building with the same problem:-adjust closer (in my building they are the commercial type) and the door is heavy and the frame on the outside is metal so that usually means a loud BANG. also may just need some machine oil....

And in the end, they closed on the house.My background is in mineral management and that has taught me a few important things.

Oil based heaters tend to be more robust and can be fixed in expensively.If you can't get a 203(K) loan, run the numbers with hard money until you can refinance in 6 months or so.

I love history, and going to Butte for the Folk Fest, but if you gathered up a bunch of drunken miners and planned a town, this is what happens.
