My other 2 primary investment choices have taken a beating (I might as well say what they are because I have stated them in past posts: Mineral rights in North Dakota (basically gas) and stocks). 

please hear me out:A friend of mine realized her actively managed 403b plan had a HIGH FEE 1.30% expense ratio and wanted to direct exchange into a Vanguard low-cost Index fund Vanguard 2050 at .15% ER that is offered).   

Reason I consider them is that they manage my rentals neighboring house rented at same rate as I would consider mine rented at $950 priced.

If the home’s pipes are galvanized steel, there's a good chance that scaly minerals in the water have built up inside the pipes.

Like the coal miner type setup.

I have a piece of property in California that has around 3600+ acre feet of water rights (have had it for about 10 years, but just "discovered" the water rights)...I would like to sell all or a portion of the rights on an annual basis, or lease the property (13+ acres) including the rights.Hoping for some leads on how to go about this, where can I list the rights for sale, how to ascertain the value, etc...The property also has mineral rights (patented gold mine) any advice on leasing the mineral rights would be welcome as well...I'd also look into a partnership, etc...to start making some cash flow with this property.Thank you!

You can deplete the asset, do away with it for example, a rock quarry or mining minerals out of the land.

The buyers bank is saying they wont lend on it unless I give up minerals.

For example most water and mineral leases get recorded and thus must be notarized.

In regards to @Jefferson Miner 's concerns, a bigger danger that many did in the last boom was count on appreciation rather than cash flow when looking at financing repayment.
