There is a bit a of a oil problem that is causing headaches in the beaches in Alabama and the florida panhandle.

I currently work a full time job as an engineer in the oil and gas industry.

Excuse my beer math:2.5 hours = 150 miles-ishSay 300 miles each dayavg 30mph = 10 gallons of gas each day$22 gas/day 22 working days/mo = $484/mo in gasOil changes at 3k miles = 2 oil changes/mo= $160/moYou're almost at $650/mo in additional expenses each month, not including add'l wear and tear and accelerated depreciation on the vehicle. 

Before this business venture, I worked as a W2 contractor in the oil and gas industry for more than 20 years, and I can tell you that the average mark up in that industry are often closer to 200% so the margins are much thinner in the residential construction business.If you would like a bid just to know if the prices that you are receiving are fair let me know, and I'll be glad to help.

Snake oil is snake oil.  

By day, I’m an accountant in oil and gas looking to transition into real estate through buy and hold multi-family properties.

I've reached out to many of the banks and have found half of them are out of the game at present for either being at their limit for CRE lending or having suffered oil-related losses which they are still in the process of working out.

I am the President of the Petroleum Ventures Program, which has the primary focus on teaching members how to invest in oil and gas acquisitions. 

There are some big repairs that needs to be done (create new drive way, changing oil to gas, and removing / filling pool) so that I can use this as a rental.  

I just purchased my first property as a primary residence.I am a licensed Texas attorney, and I currently work in a non-legal role in the Oil & Gas industry.
