Benefits of Owning Mineral Rights

PASSIVE INCOME

Monthly royalty payments derived from the sale of oil & gas produced.

NO EXPENSES

No expenses or cash calls, simply collect 12 royalty checks a year and submit a 1099.

DIRECT OWNERSHIP

Mineral rights are considered real property and are owned in perpetuity.

1031 EXCHANGE POTENTIAL

Defer capital gains taxes while diversifying into a cash-flowing asset class.

SELF-DIRECTED IRAs

The long lifespan and passiveness of mineral rights makes them perfect for self-directed IRAs.

MULTI-WELL DEVELOPMENT

Mineral rights owners are paid for every zone or reservoir that exists within their defined mineral boundary.
