Thoughts on giving up mineral rights?

They got that way by taking out the appreciation (much from market appreciation and some from value adds) and a lot of this return has not been reinvested in RE but in mineral rights, stocks, etc. 

Hi All, I'm looking at a duplex in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex area; the seller has just counter offered with an addendum for reservation of the potential oil, gas and mineral reserves of the property.

I like gold miner stocks, my IRA is now loaded up with almost nothing else.   

Your example of the miners is well placed.   

Real estate is property made up of land and the buildings on it, as well as the natural resources of the land, including uncultivated flora and fauna, farmed crops and livestock, water and mineral deposits..."

They encouraged me to buy some mineral rights, if I could find some.

Only thing I would say though is don't focus too early, meaning know whats out there, question a lot of things and  know why you are focusing on say large Multi-family vs oil and minerals.
