Oil is making everything boom and its making this fairly new investor very impatient!

Upside end result will be 2 new bathrooms and new kitchen, new windows, new floors updated plumbing and electrical panels, new oil tank outside all for cost of materials gas travel and costs of 3 - 4 months rent etc.

And mopping with some oil soap is quicker and cheaper than shampooing carpet.

I have already chosen a career and am employed at an oil refinery in Philadelphia.

I live in Odessa Tx where we have a housing crisis at the moment because of the oil boom.

Of course, there are several heavy oil producing countries, such as Venezuela and Russia, who need high crude oil prices to sustain their weak economies.  

http://www.wsj.com/articles/texas-oklahoma-wyoming-oil-woes-start-to-hit-hard-1461749401Just read this article in the Wall Street journal, basically talking about correlation between drop in oil prices and credit card/auto/mortgage delinquencies.

I agree 1,000% that the vast majority of those promoting there "Guru"/"REI Coach" program are 1,000% snake-oil salesman, complete scamming BS giving dribbles of knowledge at maximum price as there focus is profiting off those seeking a REI Coach.     

What little I can see on his initial blurry statement is that he is spending anywhere from $10-$13k in oil a year and $2-$3k in electricity.  

And when we do sell we make sure to advertise the extra insulation and low heat costs.We've also replaced almost all oil heat with gas heat and have updated other gas furnaces with new more efficient units in rental properties.
