What Can Eckard Do for Qualified Investors?

Mineral rights, working interest, and other oil & gas assets can be fantastic ways to supplement W-2 income for high income earners. Assets in this space offer additional income streams, tax benefits, diversification, hedging against inflation, and more.

Monthly Royalties

  • Monthly royalty payments derived from the sale of oil & gas produced.
  • Royalties are paid by billion-dollar exploration companies.
  • No liabilities or cash calls, just 12 checks a year and a 1099.
  • Consistent monthly royalties without the hassle and liabilities associated with traditional real estate ownership.

Tax Benefits

  • Working interest offers several significant tax benefits.
  • Intangible drilling costs (65-80% of total drilling cost) are 100% deductible in the year incurred.
  • Tangible costs, which are related to equipment and materials with salvageable value, are depreciated over 5-7 years based on the asset’s useful lifespan.

Direct Ownership

  • Mineral rights are considered real property and are owned in perpetuity.
  • Eligible for 1031 tax exchanges, allowing movement from one asset class to another while deferring capital gains taxes.
  • Powerful tool to diversify from traditional real estate into mineral rights.
