Even if the listings you are doing open houses for are not your listing it gets your brand out there that people see you selling houses and all it costs you is the gas to get the listing.

Doubt the downstairs tenant will want to pay for the gas to heat the upstairs tenants hot water!

Anyone out there using cashflow oil & gas investments to optimize their real estate portfolio?

Would love to hear how it is/is not working for you.

Thanks!

I am a fan of swapping out the stove and dryer from gas to electric.

C-B class area.Purchased: $785.00rehab est: $55k (including Murphy's law)ARV: $95k-$110k (based on 6 comps)Timeline est: 4-6 mo.i'm just asking if anyone has an idea i could implement or a lender or interest in funding this project to help me get my business moving during this stall. and before the wolves come out of the woodwork suggesting repetitive things lets cover some of my stats.credit: 550 and scarred = normal lending out of question.Friends and family: already tied up in projects or strapped financially.Partners: Have their money tied up for 2-3 yrsCash on hand: $1500 (and dwindling)Assets: $370k in collateral real estate.Flip exp.  6 flips with partners and family managing contractors and deadlines -   0 solo Wholesaling: would turn to small of a profit and it would be better letting it go back to the county.so as we can see my odds are not good but i am pushing and fighting tooth and nail to do this because i know i can complete the project and turn a profit i just need the gas to make this thing go. 

so with my rentals ive been switching all my hot water tanks from gas to electric anytime I can.

Why were these properties even sold if they never intended to EVER allow water or gas to be piped or trucked in?

also i was told by another landlord to open up a gas card and whenever I get gas to put it on these and use it as a deduction.

One guy was billing aviation gas to the bank for his plane for years!

Since they sell cheap gas to the public it breeds loyalty.
