The more work you put in on the first few deals will create your own well oiled system to replicate down the road when you expand, if you choose to do so.

Since oil and water does not mix, it was better for me to purchase a home than to add an addition to my grandmother's home with intent of my mother residing with my grandmother....sorry but let me get to the point.I now own a home free and clear, single family, 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, 960 sqft. with an attached garage, semi-finished basement for 75K.  

Last winter I locked in at 3.10 $ a gallon for oil for heat my question is since my house runs on oil and I supply heat for the whole house would it be beneficial to do total electric or a gas conversion ?

Your also going to have rehab cost that will likely outspend your cashflow for the first few, so it's wise to slice that cash stack in half, because you don't want to run out of cash in the middle of a turn, which put's your spending power between 1 million, or 2 million if your run a well oiled machine.

I had a client get very far with one, with no issues, but we found an underground oil tank and they would not remove it so we canceled.

Might be 20 acres sine he's in Texas.Forgot to mention mineral/oil rights which are not insured in Texas with title insurance or may not go with title. 

They understand that as long as the Chinese economy continues to suffer and the price of a barrel of oil stays at record lows due to a high supply and low demand, that more often than not interest rates tied into indexes like the CPI will reasonably keep short term rates low for a while.

I am currently working on a oil drilling rig (I am over hard labor) and want to take advantage of as many conventional loans as possible before I quit this fall.

I’m looking at a property that has the potential to be a decent cash-flowing place, but it’s currently way under market.The current rent between the 2 units is $1000/month with a market of $1100/month, and the owner currently pays for their heating oil, water, sewer and garbage.

In the past 8 years I have watched some of my friend and business associates learn the lesson first hand in these markets but each time I am still tempted to jump in.Its only over the past 3-4 months as some of the oil boom towns (Fort McMurray in particular) are seeing huge vacancies and property values decrease and unemployment jumps.
