Anyone ever have experience or know anyone that has listed a mineral mine? 

To my surprise, all the signs were removed so fast and mine rented in days too.

It's taken me a little while but I'm starting to think real estate attorneys and title companies are the biggest $ winners in the current real estate market with all the distressed properties flying through the system...

There is also usually very little on the severing of mineral rights from surface rights. 

You can make money in a variety of ways: rent, appreciation, insurance claims, air rights, water rights, mineral rights, and so on.Real estate allows you to invest in an area that many investor refuse to participate in due to fragmentation.

But so thankful we all have the choice to make our lives better.Current house needs some paint, miner updates, mostly cosmetic. 

There are also some lease scams going as well, an old lady in Dallas buys oil rights just before RE closings and the buyer thinks they get them, there's a suit going now as title insurance doesn't insure mineral rights in TX according to the attorney.

The interesting thing here is the statute defines "real property" thus: "(i) 'Real property' or 'real estate' means any interest or estate in land... including any assignment, leasehold, subleasehold, or mineral right...."

Lake county because of the lake and Napa Sonoma because of proximity to SF.The original resorts were all mineral bath type resorts .. and thoroughbred ranchs and in fact even though not in Lake Co Seabiscut lived and died right up the way in Willits. 

This includes fractional ownership interests (tenant-in-common interests), Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), water rights, air rights, mineral rights, certain types of oil and gas investments, etc.
