Why would anyone WANT to get involved in contaminated property with all the good clean dirt out there to be had;I cant imagine free land as being cheap enough incentive.Buy something good,,without grease and oil laden soil, let alone gas spilled etc.

I keep a few motor and start/run caps at my house, as well as nozzles and electrodes for the oil furnaces, a thermostat, and a spare transformer.

It's no different than using heavy motor oil to quiet knocking cylinders in an engine that's ready to blow up because you really need to sell the car and a new engine 'isn't in the budget' and "the sales contract doesn't specifically say that the engine won't blow up in a week"

There is a major highway being built up there and several oil companies are moving up there which will increase values a lot!

If its someone they refer to me, Ill add on another $50.Something else I do is paint all trim a glossy oil based extra-white, and the walls a nice warm gray beige.

Then depending on the heat source, gas, oil, propane or electric; its on their chart.

Oil tanks.

Chesapeake and Cabot oil are some big firms in on the gas drilling deal.

After all, if I had double the number of properties (and double the number of tenants) because I continued leveraging, I think I would be pulling my hair-out or have to quit my full-time job since I didn't have a system/process/experience to handle that number of properties/tenants starting off.On the other hand if I was experienced and well-oiled like the other posters here, I'd probably leverage and pick up properties like no other.

ND has a huge oil boom in the western half of the state... that's slowly pushing people towards the center of the state where he is.
