99% of guru sell snake oil that does not work.

Like most people, my big goal is to develop enough mailbox money to cover my expenses -- but for starters, just getting a first place with positive cash flow seems so daunting...I'm a lawyer working in the oil business (Houston, duh) and I like photography and playing guitar and singing (poorly). 

Say an area has an oil refinery and about 20 years ago that refinery found out that some oil had leaked out in the ground over a long period of time (as if anyone had doubted) and at that point decided to create well water testing facilities and testing local neighborhoods.

I will be moving to Alberta, Canada hopefully around this coming September to start working in the Oil Rig industry.

Engelo, I am an attorney in Cleveland, but my main specialty is oil & gas.

. $$$$ oil/gas and electric highest in country.The difference between the number of bedroom and adding one more is huge.

To this day, I look at the real estate listings and the daily price of oil in my town (also an oil based economy--over 90% of state budget).

@Nick Button I am a PM in the oil and gas industry and I do plan to flip more houses than this one.

The number of people working in the oil industry are also increasing, and then you all have all of the universities. 

Contemplating oil to gas conversion of four ancient oil boilers in a 4-plex where leases stipulate that new tenants receive their tanks 'full' must have auto-delivery contract and leave tank full upon lease expiration.
