When oil and gas goes down...the other industries hold true.

My last house was 2000 sq ft, with oil fired cast iron radiators, boiler less than 10 years old.

I've actually reached out to Tim Evans and Tony Cook regarding some of the things I've seen in the Indianapolis market. 

The oil cycle in ND is a boom/bust cycle and we are well into bust.

In our area, we are trying to service oil and gas workers and plant personnel.

The LA is telling you buy the car without looking under the hood and to trust his buddy that does the oil changes.Never take the advice of a listing agent.
