It's in the kind of neighborhood where nobody cares if you do an oil change or brake job in the driveway on Saturday, or if the car has to sit until payday, when you can go to the car parts store, but I wanted to have something to cover me if they have a dead car sitting there for weeks at a time.3) There were a couple of steps in my screening. 

Converting Heat - Oil to gas?

So the cashflow numbers First thing i did was get rid of oil heat that was included in the rent which was an expense of 5000 per year, u spent the money and installed electric baseboard and Insulated almost every wall in the place.

I believe the oil collapse is hitting Houston too hard and this will get even harder.

A serious investor wouldn't blink at $100 but a family buying their first house in this type of market will be told by their own agent "to appear competitive you will need to offer over asking, provide at least 1% earnest money, and pay a decent option fee with a short inspection period etc" If that isn't bad enough, this family will pay for an inspection only to discover the house is a lemon and be out nearly $500 and back to square 1.

I could change my oil and do all of the basic maintenance on my car as well, I just prefer to pay someone to have it done right the first time.That's just my $0.02, I've seen good and bad experiences, go with your gut and let us know how it goes!

@James Wise  Hahaha looks like an auto mechanic with car oil all over their hands used that couch as a rag

Also, Bakersfield has increased value year over year, and currently is diversifying its careers paths from oil and ag to transportation and logistics as well as our staples.  

Yes, call the town and utility company for water/electric/gas/oil.

Due to the property being in high demand for short term leases to oil                      field workers.$250,000 - estimated needed to completely do full rehab and bring all units up to like new with all new plumbing,                                  electrical, etc$650-$700,000 -  ARV potential So whats the problem??
