What if the land you buy could pay you monthly without flipping it, developing it, or lifting a finger?
In this episode, Matt Sands breaks down the world of mineral rights, a whole side of land investing most people overlook. With over 26 years in oil and gas and now hosting The Mineral Rights Podcast, Matt shares how land investors can unlock passive income from what’s under the ground.
We’re talking royalties, pooling, deal structures, and how to find areas where mineral rights actually cash flow.
In this episode:
What mineral rights are and how they really work
How royalties are calculated and what those checks can look like
Where the best states are for mineral investing
What to watch out for before making your first mineral play
