Looking for Alternative Investments ?
Something to supplement your real estate investments or to 1031 some of your investments into?
Have you looked at all the options and thought “I wonder what oil and gas is all about?”
Here’s your chance to get a look at how it all works.
Oil and Gas with Troy Eckard
Since 2019 alone, Eckard Enterprises has raised over $850 million across more than 90 oil and gas projects, acquiring interests in over 7,000 wells, encompassing 1.5 million gross acres. In 2023, the firm also acquired the second-longest natural gas pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico, further cementing its leadership in the field.
On this month’s call, Troy will share:
- Insights into the current U.S. oil and gas landscape
- How direct ownership in mineral rights and working interests creates generational wealth
- The keys to sourcing capital through transparency and top-tier communication
- Why oil and gas is still one of the most undervalued sectors for strategic investors
This is a rare opportunity to hear from a seasoned expert with a personal commitment to investor success, education, and ethics.
