A few months after closing he claimed his lawyer forgot to include the oil in the tank at the closing, and he said he can demand it because of the "errors and omissions clause" in the P&S contract.

Then we discovered they had been illegally manufacturing hash oil in the garages.

@Nick MorrisThe feedback you've received here so far is invaluable, especially from good folks like @Jay Hinrichs , @Brian Burke , @Mike Dymski, & @Ian IppolitoIn addition to that, for me, what it comes down to:No matter what you want to invest in: stock market, oil, gold, real estate, or something else - you must do your DD!

Some major employers have put on hiring freezes, and oil/gas prices have finally affected buying.  

There is a bit a of a oil problem that is causing headaches in the beaches in Alabama and the florida panhandle.

I currently work a full time job as an engineer in the oil and gas industry.

Excuse my beer math:2.5 hours = 150 miles-ishSay 300 miles each dayavg 30mph = 10 gallons of gas each day$22 gas/day 22 working days/mo = $484/mo in gasOil changes at 3k miles = 2 oil changes/mo= $160/moYou're almost at $650/mo in additional expenses each month, not including add'l wear and tear and accelerated depreciation on the vehicle. 

Before this business venture, I worked as a W2 contractor in the oil and gas industry for more than 20 years, and I can tell you that the average mark up in that industry are often closer to 200% so the margins are much thinner in the residential construction business.If you would like a bid just to know if the prices that you are receiving are fair let me know, and I'll be glad to help.

Snake oil is snake oil.  

By day, I’m an accountant in oil and gas looking to transition into real estate through buy and hold multi-family properties.
