Episode Breakdown

[00:56]

Troy Eckard, real estate, and mineral rights

Troy Eckard shares his journey from working in a small energy company to starting his own company for private individual investors who are interested in energy-related assets. He also talks about the connection between real estate and mineral rights. 

“We’re the only country in the world that allows private ownership of mineral rights. Everything else in the world is owned by the government of those particular countries.” — Troy Eckard

[04:21]

Finding value in mineral rights

When asked to explain more about the value and economics of mineral rights, Troy’s answer describes the similarity of real estate investors and mineral owners, working to help their clients gain more revenue through their land.

“It’s just like real estate. It’s knowing your market, staying focused, and not trying to be a jack of all trades. It’s learning from what you’ve gathered or experienced for 30-something years… How do I get the highest point on the food chain with the least amount of risk? That’s mineral rights.” — Troy Eckard

[10:06]

Income through surface rights and mineral rights

Troy tells how investors can make money from essentially owning land with mineral rights, explaining the royalties and leases, and how the private sector can collectively participate in a trillion-dollar industry.

“We’re playing with bulls, elephants, and we’re not getting stepped on. We’re getting to ride with them [and] it’s a lot of fun.” — Troy Eckard

[15:42]

Mitigating risks in mineral investment

From his 37 years of experience in the energy sector, Troy Eckard shares how to mitigate the risks involved when investing in mineral rights and also how to effectively invest in it. 

“Buying in the right location with the right oil company that has leased those mills, that is the true magic to buying minerals… with a lot of natural resources like oil and gas in place but knowing who’s going to drill the wells to pull that oil and gas up.” — Troy Eckard

[ 21:54]

The Future of the mineral rights market

When asked about the future of the mineral rights market in terms of recent news on energy independence and renewable energies, Troy explains how the market is wide open and how real estate investors are buying minerals and using the cash flow to buy real estate. 

“So just like real estate, when that door opens and in about 18 months, you, me, and everybody we’re gonna sell our watches and say, I’m buying every good asset from the banks I can buy until I can’t buy anymore.” Troy Eckard
