How Real Estate Investors Can Benefit from Mineral Rights Ownership
In the world of investments, mineral rights often take a back seat to traditional real estate assets. It’s understandable – everyone needs a place to live and work, and the buying and selling of buildings is a visible process.

What Are Mineral Rights?
Mineral rights entail the ownership of minerals and resources below the surface of a property.
Instead of owning structures above ground, mineral rights involve ownership beneath the surface – such as coal, oil, natural gas, precious metals, and other minerals. These rights, also known as subsurface rights, are a type of real estate investment that can be transferred, leased, or sold like any other real estate asset. Their separation from surface buildings makes them more liquid, as transactions involving them typically require less bureaucracy.
Mineral rights grant you the legal right to extract minerals or receive compensation for a third party to extract them. These rights are highly valuable in the oil and gas industry, as investors become landlords for major companies involved in oil and gas extraction. In the US, private ownership of mineral rights is permitted, offering investors the opportunity to earn passive income from valuable resources beneath their property.
The Benefits of Mineral Rights Compared to Traditional Real Estate
Completely Passive
Mineral rights may be one of the most passive forms of real estate investment. Unlike rental properties that may require active management, mineral rights involve no management fees, repair or maintenance concerns, operating expenses, insurance costs, occupancy worries, holding expenses, environmental risks, or capital calls. It’s an investment with zero liabilities.
When it comes to truly passive income, few real estate assets match the reliability and hands-off nature of oil and gas mineral rights. Similar to REITs or syndications, mineral rights offer complete passivity. Once established, you can sit back and collect monthly income.
Monthly Checks
Just like receiving rent from tenants, mineral rights owners receive monthly lease payments from well-known operators worldwide. These payments, in the form of royalty payments from billion-dollar corporations leasing the rights, typically amount to around 25% of total revenue from the extracted materials when sold. These long-term lease agreements in the oil and gas industry ensure regular payments over extended periods.
Mineral owners receive payments when oil and gas are produced and sold, with their earnings based on the volume extracted and confirmed by various sources. They are paid before the oil company involved in extraction, making it a lucrative investment.
Adding Wells is Like Adding Tenants
Owning mineral rights allows you to increase your passive income by adding new wells to your property, similar to adding tenants to a rental property. Each new well drilled is akin to acquiring another tenant, boosting the monthly income from a single asset significantly.
The addition of new wells doesn’t require additional work, overhead expenses, or drilling liability from you. It enhances the value of your investment without the need for more upfront funds.
Return Rates and Appreciation
Mineral rights offer higher-than-average returns, especially if the property holds significant quantities of valuable resources. Similar to above-ground real estate, mineral rights appreciate in value over time, aiding owners in growing their net worth.
Portfolio Diversification
Adding oil and gas mineral rights to your investment portfolio diversifies your income sources, providing a high-return asset class and acting as a hedge against inflation. Diversification safeguards your financial health by ensuring multiple income streams in case one faces challenges.
Tax Advantages
Some mineral rights owners can reduce their taxable income through deductions associated with mineral extraction costs. Additionally, selling mineral rights can qualify for capital gains tax deductions, lowering taxable income. Mineral rights can also be acquired through a 1031 tax exchange.
