After PVAMU, I attended Texas A&M University and received my Masters in AgriBusiness I am a full time Liquids Scheduler and Inventory Control Analyst for an oil & gas company. 

For example - a tenant put a pan on the stove to cook some chicken with a bunch of oil in the pan, realized they forgot an ingredient and went to the store with the heat still on and the oiled up pan on the stove which caught fire and burned down the property.

I often found they were too lazy to look for things and would discover at times 5 containers of Cumin or 3 bottles of very expensive used once olive oils from the gourmet section of the grocery store.

But the damage was done after 2008 when we shut down new home construction, sent the contracts to become amazon workers or move to States that were fracking oil and gas wells (remember that??). 

Our agent doesn't want to buy it because she just closed on 2 properties and is tapped out for the moment.Property Details:2 unit, upper (2nd/3rd floor) and lower (1st floor/finished basement)List Price: 175kAgent's suggested offer: 160kOwner pays:Taxes: 2600 yearlyInsurance: 800 yearlyOil heat: 1200 (last year with low oil prices) yearlyWater/Sewage: 1400 yearlyTrash: 400 yearlyMortgage @ 160k with 20% down: 611/month1st Unit: Rents for $950. 

I currently work in sales in the oil/gas industry (I know, I know - it's a controversial industry, but it's been good to me), which I started out of college 14 years ago, starting working on the drilling rigs and working my way up.

The 1950s is when the "latex" paints became good enough that the switch away from oil paints ocurred.

This would be considered rural however there is a small college here and high rental demand from gas/oil/coal workers too.

The local economy is tied to oil and gas so much so that in 2014 Forbes listed this place as a top 10 fastest growing small cities in the US.  

Oklahoma has something GA doesn't, a very strong jobs market because of oil and gas.
