My brakes were in need of a change and I had my oil done at the dealership.

No oil changes, no belts, etc.

Brandon drinks Beard Oil by the gallon, and I'll let @Russell Brazil chime in about his skills.

I worked 6 years as a drilling engineer. 4 years in Dubai for the national oil company and 2 years with a major E&P Oil and Gas company here in Houston.

I moved to pursue work in the Oil Industry.

Locale with population growth and preferably no one job sector making up the lionshare of labor (I’m from Alaska and it’s dominated by the oil industry which ain’t great at the moment)My long term plan is to buy 2 per year and scale that up over 5–8 years for an early retirement (I make fairly good money to buy and once I know what I’m doing think with the refinance can buy a lot more than 2 per year).So where are good areas to look at doing this?

At the end of the day, it's a city that lives and dies with oil and gas. 

. #1 Market in the US for Job CreationContrary to what the majority of out of state investors believe, Houston not only have Oil & Gas (Energy), Houston has other job growth in Consulting, Information Technology, Aerospace and aviation, Medical treatment and Research, Goods Distribution, and Manufacturing.

Because I come from investment banking industry and I have done pretty well always with distressed assets (oil and gas in Texas, agribusiness in Latin America), so why not distressed Real Estate?
