Seriously.Scrap metal "miners".

That's different than a royalty for, say, gas or mineral rights.

Let me start with mine: Rents in my market have been going up probably 3-6% per year depending on housing type, and I raise my rents to about 2-3.5% Depending on length of tenancy.

Separation of land ownership and mineral ownership is very common.Edit: I found pics!

I locate lost heirs to mineral interests for my day job and I am pretty good at finding people but these people seem to have evaporated into thin air.

He does excellent, quality work and is very up front and fair.Jess Miner Jess does smaller remodels as side work for me.

Does anyone know whether it's customary in Texas to leave the mineral rights with the prior owner?

Chapter 34 tax sales and redemption Subchapter B redemption sec 34.21 (a) mentions “or the owner of a mineral interest sold at a tax sale to a purchaser other than a taxing unit, may redeem the property on or before the second anniversary of the date on which the purchaser’s deed is filed for record by paying the purchaser the amount the purchaser bid  for the property”.... just somewhat confused on how long is the redemption period in my case.

You pull down the ceilings in your unit, fill all the joist bays with mineral wool insulation, seal all floor penetrations with sound-proofing foam, and finally hang new drywall using resilient channel.

I've always bought on dumpy streets in Austin and I've always made mine really nice.
