Just look at Enron, or banks a few years back, oil a year ago ect ect. 

There is one part of the property market Barrack said he still likes: self-storage facilities, which require little capital investment and don’t show any signs of slowing demand.

Has things pretty much cooled off from all the oil work out there?

Currently I am a parking operations manager and I manage several parking facilities in the downtown Tacoma area.

oil based enamel will leave a smoother finish than latex and it does not matter so much whether you roll it or brush it with an economy grade brush because it will level itself out better than latex

Otherwise, I will continue to network on BP.As a quick background of my wife and I -- My wife is an orthopedic nurse practitioner and I am an land manager for an oil & gas company, each with 10 years of experience.  

I am interested in single family rentals and building and renting a storage facility.

The key is knowing if a national or regional tenant would want to go in there.Larger spaces I have seen entertainment complexes, workout facilities, churches, indoor trampolines, outlet stores, etc.Additionally you can take a large space and cut it up to lease to multiple tenants at higher rates per sq ft.   

Texas is number one in In-Migration (Both People and Corporations). that makes economy so diversified that even oil crash is not affecting Texas now.

Other downsides, heater is oil heat, and no central AC (just small window unit), large yard is very overgrown with Himalayan blackberry bushes, and no garage (converted garage to living room space).Upsides: decent condition wood flooring in bedrooms and about half of the living space area, newer vinyl windows in most of the house, outside siding in great shape, roof looks to be in good shape, and the most important upside is the neighborhood, excellent area.FinancialsThere are already multiple offers on the property and they are accepting offers until Monday morning.
