Why Oil and Gas Investing Is a Good Diversification for Investors – with Cole Oliver
Cole Oliver is Senior Vice-President at King Operating, forging long-term partnerships with capital-raising teams. In this episode he explains why many real-estate syndicators add oil-and-gas projects to their portfolios and what unique risks new investors should weigh before committing capital.
🔍 Things Discussed
Core differences between real estate and oil & gas: daily commodity-price swings and the need for seasoned operators.
First-year tax deductions of 75–85 % of invested capital.
“Fund-to-Fund” structure that lets multifamily operators place one large check into King Operating offerings.
Performance targets on the current raise: 8.8 % average cash-on-cash and a projected 2.6× equity multiple over 3–5 years.
Shift from partial debt to all-equity financing after recent credit-market turbulence.
⚖️ How Cole Balances Life, Family & Business
He maintains balance with quick dog-walk breaks, golf for relaxation, and short vacations to recharge—while dedicating focused blocks of time to his corporate role and investment activities.
🔑 Cole Oliver’s Current Business Focus Is: Strategic Growth in This Market (2025)
King Operating is raising up to $200 million (≈ $190 million committed) to acquire undervalued oil-and-gas fields with minimal debt and plans to launch its next fund once this raise is complete.
⭐ Key Takeaways & Advice for Busy Professionals That Want to Buy Real Estate 💰
Commodity Awareness – Oil prices move with geopolitics; partner with teams that have managed through multiple cycles.
Deliberate Diversification – Even a modest energy allocation balances a portfolio concentrated in apartments or other property assets.
Tax Impact – A six-figure investment can offset a large share of first-year taxable income.
Partner First – Lacking drilling expertise? Provide capital to proven operators rather than running wells yourself.
Plan for 3–5 Years – Typical holds are three to five years, with flexibility to extend if markets shift.
📚 Book Recommendation: Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey – spot life’s “green lights” and act decisively.
