Episode Breakdown
Expected returns from mineral rights
Peter asks Troy to talk more in-depth about what returns to expect as an investor in mineral rights. They discuss the finances, rate of return, and the economy behind when you invest in mineral rights.
“We only want to buy minerals where we believe in our mind, there’s 100% chance of preservation capital, no loss income, so we’re not buying speculative, we’re not buying maybe they’ll develop, we buy only proved producing existing cash flowing minerals, we don’t wanna lose any money.” — Troy Eckard
Future outlook of mineral right investing
Dr. Kim furthers on by asking Troy what the future looks like for mineral rights in the coming years. Together they discuss liquidity, demand, imbalances, and other several factors that drive opportunities in mineral investing for the next three years.
“The shrinking liquidity is killing the oil and gas sector, they’re not gonna be able to drill as many wells. If you don’t drill as many wells, you’re gonna have less supply. But yet, we’re now in record demand.” — Troy Eckard
How to do your due diligence
Peter asks Troy his recommendations for potential investors to figure out how to do the proper due diligence when it comes to what they should invest in, who they should invest in, and what questions should they be asking.
“So it’s really a due diligence, where don’t buy the story, buy the facts, take all the smoke and mirrors and say, just tell me in fact, who you are, show me your track record. I don’t care about all the rhetoric, stay true to the course.” — Troy Eckard
What deals on mineral rights look like
Dr. Peter Kim urges Troy to share what deals in mineral rights look like. They discuss upcoming big opportunities, related risks, and the time frame to grab those deals in the current market.
“Now for new investors and new listeners, they’re not going to believe that… But I can tell you this company, we’re probably putting in close to 20 plus million dollars of our own money in this deal. And we’re fully exposed at risk. It’s that good a deal that we took such a big position because it’s that rare, rare opportunity where you get that extraordinary asset base” — Troy Eckard
