I basically worked on a ranch growing up, eventually worked in the oil field in order to make enough money to get through college and law school. 

I got the Flying Start style in Oiled Leather color.

Have you considered either exchanging into a DST or selling and putting cash into a gas and oil mineral rights royalty fund? 

I believe them investing and working with a mentor is money spent in a much wiser way than sending it off to the snake oil salesmen flipper marketer guys that provide little to no real information .I am surprised you don't agree. 

(This is why I also don't use flat paint anymore despite it supposedly being easier to touch up, since pet oils and dirt sink in).Despite that, I will always accept pets(in SFR only).  

"Super Lemon Haze".................lol

One of the other grad students in the department was the daughter of an oil sheik.

The oil slump will impede growth of any town.

Like most investors, I am blessed to have several good deals under my belt, but that doesn't mean I didn't have my share of lemons.   

I manage a lot of people money, vendors and contracts in my field and see snake oil everyday.
