I tried to talk the Foster boys into tearing it down and selling the old bricks, but no one would ever do it,” recalled C.L. Freeny, 94, who bought the building in 1970 when it was used to store grain. “I was tired of paying taxes and not getting any income.”</p> <p>Finally, about a dozen years ago, Freeny managed to give the massive structure and 15 acres to friends. He thus was astonished to learn it is being reclaimed from the brush and rot to become a restaurant for oil field workers. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405034303/http://www.arescotx.com/oil-boom-means-big-money-big-needs-in-south-texas/#more-3373" class="more-link">Read More</a></p> </div><!-- end entry --> <!-- Stop The Loop (but note the "else:" - see next line). --> <!-- Display the Title as a link to the Post's permalink. --> <div class="entry"><h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405034303/http://www.arescotx.com/oil-and-gas-investors-secure-partners-portal/">Oil and Gas Investors Secure Partner’s Portal</a></h1> <p style="font-size:11px;margin-top:-20px;">Monday, December 23rd, 2013 and is filed under <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405034303/http://www.arescotx.com/category/new-mexico-oil-and-gas-investing/" rel="category tag">New Mexico Oil and Gas Investing</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405034303/http://www.arescotx.com/category/oil-and-gas-current-events/" rel="category tag">Oil and Gas Current Events</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150405034303/http://www.arescotx.com/category/texas-oil-and-gas-investing/" rel="category tag">Texas Oil and Gas Investing</a></p> <h3>Oil & natural gas project updates are available 24/7 in our secured Partners Portal.</h3> <p>When you place funds with Aresco, you aren’t just an investor – you’re a project partner, and we believe strong partnerships are built on effective communication.

A targeted direct investment in an oil and gas drilling partnership can be a smart move to reduce one’s overall tax burden. Instead of paying more to Uncle Sam, money that was slated for the tax bill can be put to work instead, providing significant write-offs while also providing the added benefit of consistent cash flow and return on investment potential.</p> <p><b>Today’s Tax Incentives Aren’t “Loop Holes” <a
