And  last was a old bug sprayer  made by ESSO  ( exxon today )  It was used to spray  DDT

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. 

Houston is a different animal than really any other city I can think of in terms of companies with deep pockets and the need to maintain and service process plants and transportation infrastructure.I mean if Marathon or Exxon needs to get a refinery back and running, would a 2K/Month or 4/Month rent for a house make a difference to them?

When Exxon moved HQs to Houston, even during the oil downturn, the Woodlands area real estate market around it was booming.  

The property is located just a few miles south of the Exxon Mobil campus that was just finishing out at the time.

•Dallas is the 9th largest city in the US and the 3rd largest in Texas with a population of 1,281,047•The Dallas area is home to 21 Fortune 500 companies including Exxon Mobil, JC Penney, AT&T, Texas Instruments, and others.

As many as 53 highly profitable businesses—from Exxon Mobil to AT&T to the recently relocated Tesla and Hewlett Packard Enterprise—choose to hang their hat in the Lone Star State, beating New York and California.This is no accident.

The market shifted, we all know it's not the fault of our local Exxon, so we do what we can to move forward.

Plan is to hold it for another year or 2, take advantage of the appreciation from the market and Exxon moving in and then sell and buy a few more rental properties with the equity.
