What Bill said at 2am (burning the oil, eh?).

FYI she was laid off from an oil job.

the bubble "pop" ain't happening. when you've got a decrease in home prices not seen since the depression, it's bound to come back up.I find it comical where everybody fears a bubble yet at this time last year I was speaking of how we will see a double digit increase soon. all of the "BP nation" told me I was on drugs and that "the experts" don't expect that for some time.I hear a lot about the govt being in debt & I agree - they're incompetent fools yet the value of this country - just based upon precious metals, oil, etc puts us at an infinite number. we ain't going anywhere.and let's just say the housing market does crash. good!

Although the paint looked great in the unit I ended up painting EVERYTHING with Kilz oil based paint.

We plan on adding elctric heat in leu of the oil heat it has. 

-oil prices, many folks leasing there (not all but many) work in some way with the oil industry and with low prices they are more hesitant to sign a new lease or move until they have job stability.

Since oil has dropped over 40% in a few months, we are a ways away from inflation, let alone serious inflation.  

Look for knob and tube wiring, drum traps, glass fuses etc old oil heating system.It will definitely have lead paint so you'll have to be conscious of who you rent to.

Unfortunately, with the gas and oil production slowdown, many people are leaving this area causing  a bit of a housing surplus. 

I am an oil and gas executive by day and have been investing in commercial, residential, land and land development for 30 years.
