There have been oil shortages and oversupply wars that have caused volatility.

Your other option is have a Landlord Meter installed but that could get pretty expensive.Your only other option is to ask to see her electric bill then figure out roughly what the washer and dryer electric would cost should be able to roughly estimate it, then reduce her rent by that number.My property had this issue where the oil furnace was running on one units electric but i was lucky i had a separate elextrical box just had to get a meter installed, then have those items moved over to the new electrical box it only cost me $100 to get done. 

They are a boom and bust oil area that has been in a bust since about 2014 but it will eventually turn again.

I really can't imagine any website making them comfortable enough to go through one of the most major purchases of their lives without some sort of hand holding.Investors don't need the hand holding as much, but they are too busy at their full time jobs, or finding more deals or spending time with their families to bother with trying to become pseudo real estate agents.I could change my own oil if I wanted to too, but I don't, so I will never.

For many contractors and investors it's "out of sight and out of mind".They play stupid.The cost they save on not doing it they will play stupid if they get caught and then negotiate the penalties.It's kind of like when an oil company back in the 80's would save 10 million doing illegal dumping and when finally caught would pay only 2 million in fines so they kept doing it for awhile until the penalties were so harsh there was no benefit anymore.Do you think asset managers on REO's,or uncertified contractors, or listing brokers will mention this stuff to buyers??

Welcome to BP where you can learn everything without them snake-oil salesmen.

I also have access to/use of about 7 acres of mineral rights in Oklahoma, a small portion of which is paying oil and gas royalties.I need to learn how to leverage this while having zero income and bad credit including a foreclosure 13 years ago.

I work in the oil & gas industry and negotiate with property owners everyday, so this opportunity seems right up my alley, I just don’t want to waste my time.

Wording is a little different but the same kind of thing.I also get the "geologists, fisherman, oil rig roughnecks" who's company is paying for their getaway and need to pay with a company check...

I could go on for pages on detail of all the things the contractor did during the remodel (bleaching concrete floors etc and what we tried once the remodel was complete, repainting walls with oil based kills, sealing tile grout on brand new floors, hi powered ozoneators for weeks.
