But mostly oil, gas, and coal areas.

I have also heard that the economic effects of the low oil price has had little impact on housing.

If you drive through a 30 mile desert every day, and can't check your oil by yourself, you probably shouldn't get a 200k mile beater.

It always seems to start with how he is an oil engineer with 4 buddies who finally get a vacation and we are the lucky winners!

Try and find a local mom and pop shop who doesn't have all this overhead and I bet you can shave at least 1 to 2k off the price...For any kind of CapeX I ALWAYS get at least 3 estimates...Sure it stinks to have to lay out this money all at once, hopefully you have a credit card you can finance at least a portion of it so you don't leave yourself with no cash reserves....30 years is fantastic to get out of a Central AC system...

We are doing one now pre '78 & painted with oil base!!!!

Oil futures crashed, dow futures crashed.

There has also been more stability in the Edmonton housing market as Calgary seems to be more directly impacted by the ebbs and flows of the oil market, where Edmonton has the stability of the public sector.

Oil?

If fact due to my location in PA, I'm planning on getting a job to oil frack and use that money to supply the money for my real estate.
