In my inbox for alert on Greeley and I was offering on a short sale lead I got and estimating repairs on it in Wellington and I stopped to check out a house with papers posted and it was a notice from you as realtor doing an eviction on an REO.Good stuff on the rational for ARM's a guy that lives on my street and has about 25 sfr's swears by ARM's because of what you said and in his investing lifetime interest rates have been mostly going down.I went to the CSU Everitt Center Real Estate market prediction last night and they are real big on Greeley over the next 3-5yrs to continue appreciation and growth with oil and gas, business friendly and going over 100,000 population in about 2 years putting on the map for larger national developers and business'.Time for me to make some more offers and get some more rentals.

When oil dropped from $100 barrel to $50 barrel, $100k oil jobs disappeared, class A occupancy fell from 95% to 80%, while our class B properties actually slightly increased occupancy from 92% to 93%.We are very active in DFW and can share some ideas and experiences with you offline so you are better informed.

There are a lot of good fundamentals: population growth, several stable industries (federal government, universities), one more volatile industry with major possible upsides (oil/gas), and most important for the real estate investor, attractive price rent ratios, especially as compared to larger urban areas.The major thing I've seen that gives me pause is that rents seem like they've been pretty much flat for the past several years, presumably following the oil/gas price crash.

With that being said im hoping to give a little background on myself and maybe get some directions from the professionals.Im currently a Senior Superintendent for an oil field service company. 

Mobil Oil credit union has a credit card that you can get that allows credit transfers for a 1% fee that will lock in a 5.9% interest rate.
