In this episode, Alex Ottewell, a successful real estate investor with over 1,000 deals under his belt, shares why he transitioned from real estate to the oil and gas industry. He explains how managing oil fields has surprising similarities to managing rental properties, with a focus on maintaining assets and raising capital. Alex dives into his strategy of acquiring existing oil fields rather than drilling new wells, which minimizes risk and provides stable returns. He also discusses the political and economic factors that influence oil prices and why oil remains a valuable long-term investment despite the rise of electric vehicles. Throughout the episode, Alex emphasizes the potential of oil and gas as a lucrative investment opportunity for those looking to diversify beyond real estate.
