The suggestion to sell came from a new lender I'm working with here in Denver, so there are a lot of sparks flying around in my head right now about directions to take...Thanks for the feedback @Heather Miner!

For the past two years, I have been a rotational engineer (2weeks on, 1 off) in mineral acquisitions, based out of Denver.

For example, there may be issues with water or mineral rights, liens on the property, tax implications, etc.

@Karl B N.E Florida has tons of woods, forests, springs and lakes... just saying ..I heard someone say Colorado is difficult with its mineral rights and water supply ability and allowability to dig a well ?

Check if you have timber and mineral rights .  

Both closed-cell spray foam (~R6 per inch)  and dense packed cellulose/mineral wool (~R4 per inch) have their place.In brick buildings (where it is safe to insulate the structural brick walls) and older buildings where we either have enough wall cavity to achieve our desired insulation value; are gutting the interior and have the option to deepen the wall cavities; or are restricted from altering the exterior of the building (i.e. heritage), I prefer to used closed-cell foam as it provides both your insulation and air sealing in a single step.  

there are people who have expressed interest in buying it including government, mineral company, and a developer.

Do you want to start a leasing company and buy up leases or buy actual properties with the mineral rights?

Some quasi real estate investments that would also be 1031 compliant would be oil and gas and mineral rights.  

Are there issues with mineral/surface rights?
