I used to work in commercial real estate several years ago before I moved into the oil and gas career.  

I have viewed many houses with oil tanks no longer in use that were capped and they weren't a problem.

I would love granite but lite color will show stains from oils left on the surface.

I had my plumber fix all the burst pipes and when he repaired the pipe close to the boiler water supply he discovered oil boiler had developed cracks on it spewing water onto the floor.Is this covered by homeowners insurance?

You are far enough away from North Dakota that you are less likely to value or rental rates drop from the oil bust.ConsYou have a lot of equity sitting the property you can use elsewhere. 

Heck, they built a pipeline for oil all the way from AK.Your info on desalination is very interesting. 

I got an email from another property he was interested in where there were 150 showings in 3 days and 30+ offers....we didn't even bother going after it.How are the properties in Greeley since oil has slowed down?

What effect will the decrease in oil prices have on the market?  

i know what you mean. im doing that currently with oil ETF's.
